    Cosmoline results

    CRC now sells a spray can of the stuff, we use SP-400. SP-350 is an indoor only product. As long as you don’t go overboard with the stuff, it drives to a waxy like coating that can “self heal” a bit. Kind of like soft candle wax, but not “sticky” soft.

    Good plug and play router?

    Any router will work with any ISP. The modem is the bit between the router and internet that is specific, basically you can’t use my DOCSIS 3.1 modem, but you could take my router and use that. You’ll just want to disable the WiFi if you have a modem/router combo unit.

    Lets see the cars!!!!

    Just out here making everyone briefly think they’re living in a fever dream with this absolute unit. The number of “huh” looks quickly followed by “WTH?! 😂” I get while out driving fuels me. Haven’t yet had issues merging, I wonder why 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    I take pride in smoking out the shop 😈 6” round 9” long 52100 steel (high carbon chromium alloy, it’s TOUGH!), 3” thru hole. 41rpm at 0.011”/revolution because all we have is high speed steel spade bits 😭 I wish I left my previous job as a glorified button pusher sooner, wouldn’t trade this for...

    NTSB animation on DCA midair collision

    A friend of mine got a pair of brand new RNVG Bino’s (L3 thin film white phosphor) and let me try them. With his blessing I looked towards the well lit parking lot ~200ft behind us and the tubes dimmed to a comfortable level almost imperceptibly. There was still naturally a bit of bloom but...

    WOT on Pentastar

    You do know you’re supposed to navigate OVER the land and not simply pull it out of the way right? If my math is right, and not accounting for losses, if the engine puts out 250lb ft your tires are being asked to transmit almost 38,000lb ft of torque 😳

    HPL Engine Cleaner 30 (My impressions after use).

    I ran exclusively Pennzoil and Mobil 1 in my truck from new to 31k (10k was the furthest I pushed an oil change on those, otherwise 8,000 or less) before switching straight to HPL at 31k and it still pulled a bunch of crud out. The van was well maintained except for my accidental 30k OCI on...

    Similar boat to us, except my wife want a truck/truck based SUV now. But our van is paid off 😭

    I drove a PHEV for 3 weeks, I’ll be sticking to gas only. Actually, a Dodge Caliber was more thrilling to drive than that thing was.

    They’d be bright, but they’re 100% using NVG with autogating and auto gain.

    MolaKule Q&A on Aircraft Structures VII Engines

    Variable Frequency Starter Generator units. 787 is all electric, no bleed air, so they are capable of starting the engines and then generating power for the aircraft.

    Any engine upgrades available for the Buick Enclave?

    Ditch the Buick and get a Durango R/T Tow n’ Go or SRT. Tow n Go has the gigantic Brembo brakes and adaptive suspension from the SRT but with the 5.7, SRT has the 6.4. Slap a supercharger and long tubes on the 5.7 and it’ll run 12’s in the quarter mile. If you don’t absolutely beat on it every...

    Yes. So was the significantly faster (0-60 in 5.3) Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe that I drove, the cobalt gives more feel than that lifeless husk of a vehicle.
