If I recall correctly GM spent most of the 2000s being unprofitable and they had many, many years of being unprofitable throughout their operational history. For how many years was Amazon unprofitable after being started? Using different standards of measuring “success” must be awfully...

Why bother when it’s not affecting their sales?

All of them can go boom unfortunately. Definitely keep your oil change records and don’t go over 5k OCIs.

What sort of packaging are they in and do you see any oily stuff on them? If yes, they will not rust. Also, if they’re coated they won’t rust either.

“If it keeps on rolling, you keep ignoring”.

There is no way F150 had start/stop for 20 years. 10 yes, but not twenty.

Start/Stop on a hybrid is a totally different ball game. Your Lexus doesn’t have a traditional starter, but instead uses the inverter motor to spin up the engine to a much higher RPM than a normal starter would and then fires it up. The engine builds oil pressure before being started.

To me they don’t look to be hidden, but instead tied in to a drainage system around the house. My house in CA had something similar going on and I think it was tied in to the storm drains because the neighborhood was all flat.

Zip ties will probably hold it. Or better yet, zip tie it up on the front couple of holes, so they act as a hinge and use the bolts in the back. Other than that I don’t know why Toyota decided this little access panel needs so many fasteners. Two would’ve been enough with engagement tabs on the...

Those are some of the best ghetto rides I've seen. :love:

You'd be surprised how similarly a hydraulic system behaves to an electrical system. The terms are difference, like resistance vs back pressure, voltage vs pressure or current vs flow, but their function, from the system view, and how they manage the energy are almost identical.

The electrons are always there in the conductor, like copper. So the "pipe" is always full when it comes to electricity. The electrons are part of the atomic structure and are negatively charged. They orbit the nucleus, which is composed of protons and neutrons. The electrons can "jump" from...

Yeah, cause they can save it all on the cloud for future reference. No woman ever deletes her texts🤣

Did the guy have a clipboard by any chance? A random guy with a clipboard is legit, all others are clear scammers 😉

Why would you buy your wife a Mother’s Day card? Is there incest involved?

One could argue that it was USSR that launched this probe not Russia. USSR is not Russia.

A more analogous example IMO is flow of water in a pipe. When a pipe is 100% filled with water and you turn on the tap on one end (apply pressure differential), you get almost instantaneous flow on the other. But the actual speed of the H2O atoms going through that pipe is much, much slower...

If the sound is actually related to wheel rotation, then the following components come to mind: brakes, brake shield (maybe it's rubbing on the rotor), wheel bearing, CV shafts and differential bearings.

No, your corolla has a normal differential, the wheel with least resistance will receive power/torque and the one on the ground will receive zero power/torque. You're car will not take off.

My setup is barely noticeable from the outside, even sitting inside it’s not the first thing you notice because it’s pretty high up. I wouldn’t worry about theft unless you install something expensive like a GoPro and it sticks out like a soar thumb.
