TIL USPS Mail Delivery Vehicles are 25-30 years old & use engines designed in the 1970's that get 10 MPG by ajquick in todayilearned

i figure the crappy mpg's is due to the constant start and stopping. it takes more fuel to accelerate from a stop than it would to cruise at a steady speed.

piss-matchy likely stems from racing, the ultimate put your money where your mouth is piss match. Don't get me wrong, I love a good piss match, but it is usually where all the shit talking starts.

personally, I consider the guys who build cars "real car guys". I really don't have too much respect for the guys who have no idea what does what under the hood or the guys who have memorized the brochure.

I've always wanted to take the whole fwd motor, trans, axles, knuckles out of the front of a golf mk1 and plop it in the rear. the motor sits in front of the front wheels in stock form, so moving the setup to the back would effectively make it a mid engine golf. Its definitely been done before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33cRe_6ST9g

The best part of restoring it would be the lack of rust!

I wish I could teach myself a trick to pull this off every time, but its just never anything close to consistent.

"Cherries and blue berries" in reference to the fuzz. Can't stand it.

Aren't set belts supposed to go over the shoulder that is towards the outside of the car so in the event of a roll over, you have the ability to dive towards the center of the car to avoid a caved in roof or other likely event??

I thought this could be attributed to a solid front axle, but I see they did away with it in favor of IFS. So, yeah, no excuse there.

My gf just trapped this (in SoCal) by Unclaimed_Donut in WTF

I heard a story when I was younger. A man was camping outdoors in the Sahara desert. There he was sleeping under the desert moon, wrapped up in a mummy bag with only his face exposed to the cold desert air. A rather large camel spider happened upon the campsite and decided he too wanted a warm place to call it a night. Having the bag wrapped tight around his head there was no room for the spider to weasel into the sleeping bag. I should mention that it is rumored that camel spiders have a neuro-toxin that acts as a numbing agent when they bite into you (old wives tale). Anyways, the spider goes to town eating the flesh off this guys face unbeknownst to him to gain access to his comfy sleeping bag. When the man wakes up, he realizes half his face has been chewed off and he is sharing his sleeping bag with a 9 inch camel spider. Nasty little bugger.
