OT: That didn't take very long!

Electrical engineering and 'electronics' is a very broad industry
with damned near more niches than the medical community has spun >up.

Yeah but see he wants you to go to one of those high fallouting colleges like Harvard which is pretty much a toga party.

Oh wait, that's a law school, they don't teach anything useful anyway.

You didn't remove the intake and exhaust manifolds in five minutes. You didn't clean the gaskets surfaces in five minutes.

If your shitcan was built after 1903 it might have valve in head design which means you have to remove it to do that job. If not it has a valve in block design and as such you had to remove the head to do that job. Did you boil the coolant out of it beforehand, even if you didn't want to save the oil ? (hey, sometimes it is brand new and expensive)

Plus I would have scrapped it and bought a real car. The 1.6Ls they sold Chrysler (what a bunch of dweebs) looked like they were made out of three pieces of pipe.

Make it sound like you can do that in like a half hour, if you can I can get you one hell of a good job. Forget engineering, shit, you damn near did already anyway.

you don't fucking get it. There was a time when 9 year old kids could work on the cars here. "Johnny, go put this set of points and condenser in my car, I'll be out to set them later". "Can I set the dwell Dad ?". "Well OK but I am going to watch alright ?". "Cool Dad".

Fast, cool cars are more of a piece of us than fast, cool guns.

Speaking of which I just bought one of the cheapest nines out there and was pleasantly surprised. It shoots like a dream. It is almost as if you are not shooting anything. Hell I think I want another one, give it to my sister or something.

That reminds me I gotta get some cheaper ammo for the fourth of July. What I got is a buck each, they are killers. I just want to plink the old satellite dish, I think I'll paint some circles on it...

Cool ain't it ? Too bad you can't do shit like that. Well you could if you came here but if you talk they might kill you.
 
>No weight over the drive wheels

Actually you modify the rear suspension. I drove a few cars like that and while they would move if you got them to spin the tires they might hop.

Not being great or fast at something doesn't mean you can't do it. Like cooking, I get into it sometimes and I will not cut up an onion the way the pros do. Takes longer, if it was at a job they wouldn't like it but the people who do like my food have zero problems with it.

Math, some people can run through a curve, operating range of whatever with calc, not me. I figure it out discretely for every thing I want/need to know. Works but it takes longer.

I hope you don't mean an old Radio Flyer. Frame can't take it.

You do not know what "The 'Lil Red Wagon" was?

Do you even know what a real "funny car" was?

Google "Dodge Little Red Wagon".

It is the funny car, not the truck they made in '78.

You don't. Folks put weight over their rear axles... But only

Deathtraps.

It has all the weight on the rear when it's doing a wheelie.

The Porsche 914-6 could do a wheelie, and there was a Datsun that
could too. Both were death traps.

The car Sam Kinison drove was a deathtrap... for him.

You guys are fucking know nothing children.

Very likely true since you seem to know so little about it.

At the years between 8 and 12... sure, idiot. I built engines

I don't need a physics primer from you, dumbfuck.

Balance that and fugure out that your blather is bullshit to all but
you.

That's pretty fucking good but I bet it was a V8 from the old days.

That fuck never did it or something.

I broke my rule and responded to one of his posts. I shouldn't've.

And how long to remove the manifolds and cylinder head ? Not five minutes. How long to clean the gasket surfaces between the block and head ? Not five minutes.

Maybe if the thing was made in 1903 it might not have valve in head design, in which case you have to remove the head. If it was built later it is likely a valve in head design, in which case you have to remove the head.

I don't do car work anymore but when I did I was fucking good. I never used any gasket sealing concoctions, I cleaned the surfaces PROPERLY. On a cylinder head gasket I would spread just a little engine oil on it. I never ever failed to make it seal.

I am car people and you talked shit. I couldn't resist, you are flushed.

Yeah, there is a whole list of things Teslas can't do. The short list is...

Wheelies,
Burn rubber,
Rev engine...

It's pretty boring to watch two Tesla's challenge each other to a stop light race. lol
