Computer controlled, injected engines and modern head designs don't have a problem igniting the mixture, pretty much any spark will do the trick. You could probably make a spark plug out of a coat hanger, a cork and some aluminum foil and it would work. So no plug will make a difference in mpg...

Lame ... I go for Polonium :D

First of all, there is no "daylight", since the light temperature changes from 2800K to over 8000k and back during the day. And yeah, as a cinematographer I'm quite sensitive to this topic, since I make a living from it. Personally I never understood why anybody want anything else than "warm"...

After I saw your post, I aked it to write a 1940s swing song for my band, it needs some polishing, but it's actually really good.

I run that by the AI Content Detector, it says "human created" :p

Yeah, I wouldn't say I hate people per se, but let's put it this way: not a huge fan. The older I get, the less I have the nerve to deal with crowds, especially when packed into small spaces. I prefer sitting alone in my car in the middle of a traffic jam with my music (and only my music), my...

I actually feel sorry for anybody who has to use public transportation, it's a major PITA and waste of life time. Once in a blue moon (every few years) I have to use a train - I reget it all the time.

I don't buy the propeller story - if you look at that drone, it's pretty much impossible to hit the prop without crashing into the rear fins. I don't think any pilot would risk that - let alone the probable damage at his own aircraft. Also you don't see any impact in the video, and that color...

Not a stretch at all, I'm very familiar with those boxes, especially pre-war Borg Warner. And yeah, it's totally doable by double clutching or rev matching - I do it some times with my 41 Chevy, not a problem. Frank

I'm in camp Glaco - their glass coating is amazing, but the mirror coating is totally insane.

Nope: Subaru seems to be the best though. But they have 4 different systems. Most AWD drives suck if you need them the most. Personally I prefer 3 manual locks.

To put this into perspective: The human body is nothing but a vessel for bacteria. You have more bacteria in your guts and on your skin than you have cells in your body - they totally outnumber you. And yeah - they keep you alive. Without them you would be dead. So the whole water bottle...

If you really want to go down the u-joint rabbit hole, here is a 7 part series that goes really deep into it.

Same here - 2002 Explorer (RWD/V6), ex police interceptor - no engine problems so far (knocking on wood).

UTs (utes - utilities) are an Australian/New Zeeland exclusive thing, nothing to do with the UK. They are not real pickups, but are based on a sedan or cupe. I'm in the UK about twice a year. I don't consider my 2002 Explorer as a "huge American car", but - depending on where you are - it...

Minimalist Avantgarde!

I still have only one center speaker, but most of the music I listen to was recorded in mono anyway, soooo..... I think car audio is way overrated and blown out of proportion these days - over 30 speakers(!) jeesus. But on the other hand, there is no other single group out there, to which you...

That makes you a Gold Member of the club :p

I can relate to that, cause I'm also someone who owns and drives a car as long as possible - because why not? My current daily driver is a 20 years old Explorer and I hope I can keep it on the road for at at least an other 10 years. My other cars are 80ish years old - but that's a whole other...

What do you mean a "light" 40? How is that "lighter" than other 40s?
