Powershift is checking out european hearses BESTATTUNGSWAGENS for some reason





These would make dope rear end little campers. some of them say they get like 45MPG with their massive 100hp diesels.

Finally got time to finish up the laptop/SSD thing, it's amazing, anyone on the fence just go buy one now, totally worth the media creation hassle.

Now to figure out connecting the printer to the router so I can print without kneeling Infront of the printer because I've no long cables.

my laptop only supports SATA 2, so i bought 2 cheap SSDs and run them in raid 0. Can't do TRIM but i leave it running so garbage collection should take care of it.

Oh gently caress, I wanted a Grumman LLV as my "impossible car" but these are seriously about to overtake that.

That benz is extremely doable.

I can't believe that turd has been around for 7 years now and the top model still makes 85ft/lbs at 3000RPM

Yes just reading in C&D the ZF8 is behind the v12 in the new rolls cullinan or whatever bs suv

And sorry to hear QC

The most interesting to see long term is probably going to be the new ram 3500. It's only behind the 6.4 gas job, but that's still rated to 7680lbs payload and 23,400lb GCWR

With 8 forward gears, it should very nearly be into double digit mpg, too!

Also for those who don't read my boring project thread: This was caught in the now chewed-up hot side of my turbo on the blown engine in my V70R. I'm trying to figure out what it is, if it caused the failure or is a result of it.



Looks like a valve stem

I'm guessing the valve itself is wedged into either the piston or the head.

get a borescope and look in through the spark plug holes.

Jesus Christ, they've adjusted the expected windchill this wednesday from -42 to -51.


We all gonna die.

It's +5*c and sunny here, everything is melting. It's awesome!

Except for all the potholes showing up. It has flipped between +10*c and -10*c like 10 times this winter and the roads are going to poo poo.

went to the local mega-hardware store to get some lightbulbs. CFLs are almost completely gone which is good, but the light bulb aisle was around 50% LED, and for some reason about 50% incandescent. I thought we defeated that evil.

I don't know how many people here are old enough to remember CDs coming out, but coming from records and cassettes it was amazing. I remember buying my first CD boombox, then getting Led Zeppelin 4 on CD and being completely blown away by the sound quality. I was happy to replace all my records and cassettes with CDs and have never thought once about ever going back to that.

I grew up with tapes until the mid 90s, and i remember CDs in my small town being $30-$40 a piece.

By the time prices started coming down to ~$20, i had discovered napster and MP3 players. My first MP3 player was only 64mb and could only hold like 20 songs, but because of how expensive CDs were i basically skipped them.
