You still change your air every season? Pfft. I got synthetic air. You can leave that in the tires year round.

Talking

I have my air imported from Mt Everest. I find that the lighter high altitude air lightens the rolling resistance of the tires and improves the fuel economy. However in Winter if I want to drive the car on Snow I have to swap the air out with the Heavier air from Death Valley. This helps immensely with the traction on the snow due to it's heavier properties.

That's the most amount of BS I've come up with in awhile!

it is a "must" to change the air in your tires on an annual basis. Highly recommended for a long-lasting tires.

In order to do the air change properly, you need to get a valve stem core remover. And, let the car sit overnight on the rims. Gotta let the all of the old air out.

I was in the Navy and on carriers there are padeyes all over the deck. These are basically holes in the deck with rebar welded in a star pattern that tie down chains are hooked into to chain down aircraft. We used to send the noobs down to get the padeye "key". There were times when we wouldn't see them for hours. We had a setup where we would send them to someone in another shop, and they would send them somewhere else. Those guys would end up wandering all over the ship.


Oh, btw, don't forget to change the 710 fluid, make sure it is full!
And also, where exactly is the "poopsite"? rotfl
Later,
Bill

Dont know if this has hit this site but it was everywhere for a while. I corvette owner who came up with "Direct Exhaust Injection" or "DEI". I'm gonna have to find the link. Its too damn funny to explain because the guy was serious about it.

Seems that you have to be a member of the forums to see the actual thread. But heres a pic that the guy drew up.


there's another one somewhere about a guy who's worried he screwed up his motor by porting and polishing himself. He stuck a bag of sand up to the intake and ran the car. I believe it was an Audi but I can't find that one.

I used to work Kroger its a grocery store around here and when we would get a new bagger in we would wait a few weeks for them to trust us and get settled in with how things run. and we would send them up to the attic of down to the basement to get supplies like paper towels or trash bags. thing is there is no basement or attic. they would be gone for hours and them come back and go back to work like someone told them there is no basement. they looked so embarrassed. like they were stupid enough to do it.

Yeah, that was posted and reposted here a few times. Still hilarious, though. Besides, there's prior art: Mazda already produced the 13B-DEI and put it in the GSL-SE in 1984!

I was working on my friends chevy truck (he hardly knows how to pump gas lol) and I looked in the engine bay for about 5 minutes and went "OH MY GOD!?" he's all like "WHAT WHAT IS IT?!?" I go "Your engine doesn't have any rotors!" he goes is that bad?!" I'm all like "yes sir it's bad! Real Bad! I don't even know how you drive this thing!" HAHA and the best part, he went to the local auto shop and asked them how much it would cost to put some new rotors in, of course they thought he was talking about brakes, but he tried to explain to them that he had no rotors in his engine, needless to say he was pissed later =D
