All that awesomeness comes with a weight penalty, sadly. 

Funny how I heard that in Morgan Freeman’s voice..

You obviously have no idea what you’re saying. I was in 1989-1996.

Huh. Let’s see if Ford, GM and Stellantis keep writing checks to Trump’s campaign after this..

Biden got blamed for gas prices after the orange fuckwit forced the Saudis into a two-year production cut though. By 2021 when Biden took office the economy was recovering and gas demand was up, but supply was down, so we had $4 gas. It’s like the dumbfuck population in this country has no memory and no capacity for…

A blast from the past. I had a ‘93 LX 5.0 hatch, and my ex had a ‘93 LX 5.0 convert. Fun cars for not a lot of cashish. 

The 5.0 the previous year was rated at 225hp/300trq. I don’t recall the reason for the lower rating. 

Who spends that much money to make an interior so ugly and cheap looking?

Bleed air from the compressor section goes through an air pack to cool it down to a usable temp. I assume there’s some kind of filtration going on to avoid the situation you describe. 

This looks like a job for the A-Team. 

Never trust any guy named Earl. They always wear white shoes.

Depends on the rate of change. If the climb rate was high (as you’d expect in a jet) and the cabin altitude rose too quickly I can see how the rapid change would be painful. 

I fly a King Air so I’m familiar with the process. It’s the rapid rate of change that causes problems, so if the cabin wasn’t pressurizing it wouldn’t be a big issue as they probably held at a lower altitude to sort things out. But if they climbed quickly with the cabin altitude still high I can see now how that would…

1st Gear: Yep, it’s just Trump going full Crazy Uncle again. I’ve recently read several US automakers are scaling back their EV plans. In the future electric will definitely be in the mix but hybrids will have a bigger share than now methinks. 

This doesn’t make sense. If the cabin wasn’t pressurizing, there would be no cabin differential (difference between cabin pressure & outside pressure) so how did the eardrum damage happen? Unless the cabin did pressurize then there was a rapid decompression?

Everybody knows they’re fun, but are they reliable?

LOL. Daylight Savings is only two weeks away, my friend..

A V8? How pedestrian. Yota reportedly has LF-A engines sitting in a warehouse somewheres that might make for an interesting combination.
