Yup, no cap on the radiator at all, just the tank. First saw this on a '78 Volvo.

I've spent more than a fair amount of time in one (automatic) belonging to someone I know. Very space efficient vehicle, and I think it looks the best of the cubes (liked it more than NIssan's, Scion's, and Honda's versions). The automatic is conservatively tuned, but one doesn't necessarily...

Left unsaid is that it takes more care to engineer and integrate a top-side cartridge filter like typically found on the Germans than simply cutting a hole in the block next to an oil passage, installing a bung for the filter to hang off, and letting that fall wherever it may, whether next to...

Wanted to visit, but never got a chance to see it. Same for the Getty Villa in LA. Have to keep that in mind for next time. Speaking of NJ, did find my way to Action Park on one trip…and escaped unscathed. The only thing I didn't have the guts to do was the really tall water slide. But it...

Hotels, resorts, and cruises are nice, but there are different types of vacations, some of which involve places that don't have hotels, readily accessible restaurants, and "getting away" means from other people. You'll never catch me on a floating petri dish cruise.

I use a 12V pump, directly into the disposal containers. No intermediate transfer to deal with. The "What were they (not) thinking?" example that's freshest in my mind is the drain orifice for the fuel filler portal in the Audi, which is probably half, or less, the diameter it should be, and...

The Guggenheim is just a few blocks from the Met, so it would be easy to do both. Renting some bikes allows one to see a lot more of Central Park than on foot. The Concorde has been refurbished and floated back to the Intrepid Museum, which also has the Shuttle Enterprise. Serendipity 3 would...

Nissan was an engineering-lead company in the 90s, and up and down the range, from the Sentra (SE-R) to the Infiniti Q45, there was something for enthusiasts to like. I almost bought one of the first generation models, despite the engine it shared with the Hardbody pickup being the weak point...

And all the leather comes from Horween, in Chicago. https://www.thetanneryrow.com/leather101/horween-football-leather

Could also translate to 2001-Apr-16. Or 01-Apr-2016. In the rest of the world, we're the weirdos who put the day between the month and year. A marking on the part would be the ultimate authority, and easy to decipher if it has one of the kind that uses dots to fill in a field or clock, but...

Gyutan (grilled) is really good, with an intensely beefy, slightly chewy texture.

In all seriousness, while it's not something I'd run out and install now, a fancy toilet like that one is something I'd consider as part of a renovation.

During the era when Nissan tried, and engineered/made interesting and fun cars, the direct comparison would have been the 240SX, which, like the 86 twins, were "compromised" by their engines to keep the price reasonable. Toyota had the Celica, which begat the Supra, and the MR2. Mazda, the...

I don't have a black vehicle, so I can't say from personal experience, but it's really no different than using common sense with any other product; working on a cool car, out of direct sunlight is the ideal. If you mistakenly overdo it, going over the section again with a damp MF towel is the...

True, even more so with a paste, but application skill is a fundamental part of the task, no? Everyone has their own criteria, and priorities, and can decide accordingly. I have no experience with M27, so I can't speak of it. I have used 845, and if the OP's motivation is to avoid "white...

The issue with roundabouts is that they require an additional degree of awareness, engagement, and judgement that the average driver is already lacking in. Here, people still don't know how to use one that was installed a couple years ago, and ignore the rights of way just like stop signs, or...

This is the way. Spray on, wipe off, like a quick detailer. Couldn't get any easier, short of a wet rinse product. Overdose it, or try to use it on a hot panel, and it will streak. But that's no different than other LSPs. Only extra prep suggested is a 24hr gapped second coat for the...

#0 - Don't grant licenses to people who have no business operating motor vehicles, for any number of reasons. It's way too easy to obtain a driver's license in the U.S., and a majority of holders don't respect the task, don't know the rules, don't pay attention, or worse, do actually understand...

https://techcrunch.com/2024/06/18/fisker-bankruptcy-failure-problems/ Just because you're a talented designer doesn't mean you know how to run a company. Or two. Or three. Sound familiar? It shouldn't, because it's not an isolated thing in the EV sphere. [cough]
