"Down Under" by Men at Work. The flute starts out almost immediately. It's a very definitive part of the song. Bad news is roughly 10+ years ago they were sued for the flute riff... and they lost. It was claimed to be copied from a children's song from the 1930s called "Kookaburra" written by...

That was my last problem with the TR. Over the years I had purchased quite a few times from them, as well as other family members. But the last time I went with one of their approved installers, what I got were scratched wheels, forgot to put in new valve stems and they tried to sell me a camber...

The longest I remember walking pretty much the whole way back was about 7 miles. There have been times when I was further than that but usually I'll ride the bike at about 10mph while putting as much weight as I can over the tire that isn't flat, which is almost always the reason I'm walking...

2017 Chevy Cruze 1.4L GTDI OCI: One month short of 2 years and 4,400 miles Out: 4.2 quarts 5w-20 Mobil 1 AP with tufoil In: 4 quarts 5w-20 Mobil 1 AP with 4oz tufoil Changed AC UPF-64r filter with the same. I also added a Gold Plug at this oil change.

I'd have to say the Librem 5 since I'm responding to this post on a Librem 5. It is quite an amazing device being developed from scratch with privacy as its primary feature. It's certainly not for most people however. Especially the budget minded.

Good point y_p_w. When I come across people that don't comprehend this I'll throw out the most extreme example that I know of that undeniably hammers the point home. I give the example of a 4 cylinder engine from nearly 50 years ago that was about 160 cubic inches and ultimately made 1,000...

The original Dresden reactor was shut down permanently quite some time ago but the site, as this thread points out, is still operational with two newer reactors. Although it's pretty much semantics since all the reactors were supposed to have much shorter operating lives. I'm guessing that was...

"289 ci.?" You're maybe thinking of the 283 ci engine which became optional in '57. The orginal displacement of the Chevy small block was 265 ci. I have found it stumps a lot of people, even people that consider themselves pretty hardcore(old school) hot rodders.

I'm not really sure but I'll internet search it later. One interesting thing that comes to mind regarding that, there's another documentary on the intact WWII planes in Lake Michigan. They're the planes that crashed or ditched when they were training of out Great Lakes off the make-shift...

I sent the link to a buddy of mine and he said he sure liked the documentary. I learned a lot from it, that's for sure. I didn't know there was such a large Island/land based deployment of fighters that were vying for air superiority in the Pacific theatre. Especially in late '43 and early '44...

Here's a docmentary of a great story about an early deployment of Corsair F4Us in the Solomon Islands starting in late 1943. https://tubitv.com/movies/606418/fighting-17-the-jolly-rogers?start=true

That's right. When exhaust driven superchargers became available they called them turbos to differentiate them from crank driven superchargers

I ran into a guy about late spring and I could tell he was on a bike from his clothes etc. After inquiring he said he was on an electric bike, rode quite a bit of miles and loved it. I mean this guy couldn't have been happier with his new ride. He showed me pics on his phone. I'd estimate he was...

While I haven't checked for availabiliy of H7/94R batteries lately I have looked around the internet to see what's listed from various manufacturers and sellers. Costco has an H7 battery but unfortunately they only sell a wet version and no AGM. From reviews, price etc. the original AC/Delco...

I'm guessing Mobil is formulating a top tier oil with Euro and certain diesel specifications but with a ~3.0 HTHS and not a 3.5 or greater HTHS like the original 30 weight ESP oils. Essentially what has been the North American standard for 30 weight PCMOs It makes sense since people not driving...

Considering modern car capabilities and the level of surveillance, one can only use so much of a cars performance on the street these days. So on the other extreme I found that trying to drive efficiently is more interesting than driving "normal". Occasionally I'll do a sixty mile drive to a...

A few years ago C&D tested a 3 series BMW that wasn't an M car. It had all wheel drive. It did 0-60mph in about 4.5 seconds. Car and Driver went on to add about how only the M cars used to perform like that. They also wrote between Audi, Mercedes and BMW, who all had their own niches, were...

I noticed the Park tools(y). I have a few myself including a big one that doesn't hang on bench hook so easy; a PCS-4 stand.

In my years of cycling I never came across the existence of side by side tandems. Recently I was watching a documentary on Frederick Law Olmsted. Although it didn't have any subject matter specifically on bicycles, it did point out that his parks allowed females and males to participate in sport...
