And if that doesn’t work?

Need a repair? Model glue!

“ a car based on the mechanicals from company’s 2CV but devoid of most of that car’s inherent safety and convenience features. This is the car for people who feel the VW Thing is too overly burdened by obeisance to government regulation and the “science” of automotive safety.”

Interesting take.... The Citroen Mehari... For the man that looks at the 2CV and says “Well that’s too safe........”

Asshole before and after prison.

Yeah, Stef doesn’t know that by posting that, she’s been banned from Canada under some antiquated Lèse-majesté law.

There’s only one Canadian Monarch and any suggestion otherwise is Treason.

I’m all for second chances, except when it comes to rapists and domestic violence offenders. Either you think it’s okay to rape and/or beat the shit out of someone or you don’t. I don’t care if you were drunk or young or what the fuck your lame-ass excuse is. You thought that was okay to do in a context once and I…

Hah! Potayto-potahto.

Can Chris Brown read the joke.....

In 2012 (?) and always:

The comedian Brian Posehn used to have a bit about being bad at bigotry; e.g., whenever he saw a gay couple he’d yell “Go back to Mexico!” at them.

I never paid much attention to Chris Brown; I knew he was an ostensibly-formerly abusive douchebag, but it’s not like I ever thought I had enough info to be certain he was just a plain old terrible person in every way.

Brown’s offensive reference to the wrong ethnic origin goes nicely with Ansari’s joke about people telling him to “go back to...the country you’re from!”. His follow up is that the racists tend to not be geography buffs.

“Chris Brown further proves point.”

The flow path for the air is significantly nicer compared to a poppet valve. Also in theory since your port into the head is both the exhaust and intake port, you can get an unusually high cross sectional area for the port. The design also eliminates valve float as there is no reciprocating mass so the natural…

this is wonderful — the only thing I don’t understand is what are the benefits of a rotary valve design? Are there positives in weight, or simplicity, or power or smoothness?

I am honored that you made a post about this. You did a lot more justice to the topic of rotary valves than most people do. Most just assume it is a Wankel rotary engine.

Yeah, the depreciation is pretty crazy, probably because of all the taxes/insurance/MOT issues. Like on Wheeler Dealers I’ve seen them buy cars for absurd prices, even when you convert to dollars.

As I write this I’ve had my Cherokee for some 9 years, and I’ve rolled it once and really put it through the ringer. (was my first car) Tomorrow I’ll be replacing the entire cooling system (for ~$200 mind you) for the car and plan to drive it until it explodes. I don’t think I could have asked for a better vehicle…
