Braking power is a function of friction. Increasing friction increases braking power. However, friction creates heat, so the only way to increase braking power without creating excessive heat is to go up in size of rotors, which also means pads and calipers. This would be the most effective...

I'm avoiding being assessed for being ND/ADHD. Little bit about me (the introvert gonna overshare) I'm a fast reader. Not speed reader, but I can read and comprehend at a pretty damn fast rate. My wife gets pissed when I finish reading something before she does and I move on to the next thing...

1. Make sure you get a print out of what they did for work for the entire duration, day-by-day if you can get it. If they said you have camshaft/lifter problems, that is different than the camshaft sensor positioning. Camshaft & lifter issue usually throws a code, and you get a check engine...

Ah. I naturally assumed. ;) Wife is likely similar. It's like, what *can* you eat? Oh, potatoes, fruits, berries. And meat. And a couple veggies. Everything else will trigger a reaction. The bad foods (known allergies and bad reactive) - agave, cashews, shellfish, corn, eggs, raw tomatoes. The...

Has to do with the ingredients/fermenting and your undiagnosed food sensitivities and/or allergies. I have a buddy who gets raging headaches from Mac & Jack African Amber - only beer he's found that he has a bad reaction to. In case of beer, it's usually a certain type of hops, and more than...

It's unfortunate a few have to ruin the experience. I snowmobiled in my youth, so I take the same approach from that to anything outdoorsy. Everyone comes off the mountain/trail/lake.

Yeah, the Willys/'41 has the Mojave hood, so that's getting a V8, too. PT Barnum was right. Soooo right.

Washington State DOL or DMV just got in trouble because whomever they contracted the work out to used "AI" to automate CS calls and for the Spanish option, the AI agent was just English with a heavy Spanish accent. :CWL: And people wonder why I left that state.

If I had unlimited funds, I'd buy one just so I could get the plate DENMDAN I'd get those faux shearling seatbelt liners, maybe the steering wheel cover, too. Have @Underground Graphics whip up a rearwindow gfx of a famous Levi-clad buttocks. :LOL:

It'll be funny until it happens to you. Then it'll be hilarious. The "nanny state" of monitoring drivers is absolutely laughable. Apples to pears comparison- Years ago we did that insurance OBD-plugin for 3 months that analyzed driving habits. I drove very timidly and like I figured it wanted...

To add... I knew a guy who's brother made him an aluminum shifter knob for his VW racecar. Then he ran it on his street car and he was like, nope. Too dang cold and it was in "temperate" WA. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks under 20*.

Nope. That part just has holes, no welded nuts.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Son, I have modems older than you. I've lost keyboards from poorly-trained parents picking up the phone while I was downloading files. Good keyboards. Ones they don't make anymore. :CWL: ;)

A box of 10mm wrenches and sockets with a sign that says "tool rentals: $25/hr." Maps to trails with guaranteed cell coverage by carrier. Directions to the furthest Ford dealership for the tourists who want a Jeep so they can be YouToobers.

Do you have a hitch? Does it look like it's the OEM one or aftermarket? From my days installing hitches, that reminds me of the plate that you slide in the frame and the hitch bolts to. Lack of a P/N indicates it's likely not an OEM thing. The other thing, depending on where you found it, could...

Well look what just hit #1 on AMZN in Tactical/Sports category:

Tire Mfgs. need to clarify their marketing. 35s, 37s, 40s, etc. should be referred to as a "class" rather than a dimensional tire. What's the max PSI of the tire? Did you measure the tire size at that PSI? If we all got pissy enough, we could hire a lawyer(s) and sue the industry, just like...

I used to have a license plate frame that said that. It was hilarious sitting at stoplights and see kids behind me start busting up laughing, then remembering they just read my plate frame. For knob heaters (phrasing!), I have no idea. I do know that USB-powered "mouse hand" warmers are just...

Would that be something Bill Cosby would be familiar with?
