1·1 day agoOnce you wrap your head around the new orientation of things, it’s actually really well designed to work on. I figured the mechanics just didn’t want to learn anything “new”
Nah, Americans just don’t like to read the manuals, and they got a bad reputation in the late '70s and early '80s when they first put turbos into the cars, because you had to pull into the driveway, and let the turbo spin down for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If you didn’t, the turbo would seize and then shred itself when you turn the car back on.
Also American mechanics don’t like the fact that the engine is not in the configuration they are used to. It’s rotated 90° on the z axis and 45 on the x axis. Absolutely solid tanks if you actually read the manual, and followed the routine maintenance recommendations.
It’s not the actual turbo that gets gummed, the fuel system is what gums up, but for some reason it’s far worse on the turbo versions of the cars. I could put low octane into the non turbo SAABs I had, and it didn’t gum up the intake the way the turbo versions did. I don’t know why.
Pre GM SAABs. I’ve personally gotten 2 of my 5 to over 1,000,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Both manual transmission. A couple hundred of them have made it to 2,000,000 world wide. The lowest milage I killed a SAAB at was 789,000 miles. I hydroplaned into a semi on I-75, and the car still technically ran, but I gave it to my parents as a parts car. Just read the owners manual, and be absolutely religious about basic maintenance.
Oh, and the turbos don’t like low octane fuel. It gums them up.
Front for money laundering?
You’re correct, Google just returns results for The Beatles because enough people search for that rather than Three Dog night, and I wasn’t paying attention
It was sang by

I’m the third type that will point them to TTS, and say “that pretty much sums up the lore.”
I thought Julius Caesar declared them gods after two of em completed 11 tasks, with a distant ancestor of John Oliver officiating the tasks, and then the entire village broke The Circus Maximus during the 12th task…

Mushrooms = The Creep, Confirmed!
Edit: Arachnids and Myriapoda are sus.
“Damn! You do wonderful things for that dress.” But only if I have an available exit to walk away after. That one’s too forward for the actual elevator ride. Leave her an out, and also an opening.
The best German word is backfeifengezicht. It means: “a face in need of a slap/punch”
Or at a homestead scale.
Why do e bikes even have fenders? I’m not going off-road with the thing, and I cannot imagine trying to ride one where it actually rains, rather than pretends to rain.
IIRC somewhere over here someone offers Deep Fried Coke. I don’t know how one deep fries soda, and at this point I don’t want to ask.
The Onion buying Infowars is the only good news I’ve heard this week.
