    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    A decade? back on 175 north of Miami there was a horrible rear end collision after midnight between a bike and a semi. The news reported body parts on the closed roadway for nearly a mile. The police interviewed a witness, another biker and was asked how fast if he knew was the deceased biker...

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    In Florida they most certainly do. The caveat is, if the general public is allowed vehicle access, all traffic laws apply.

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    I have been "trespassed" at a Clewiston McDonalds 12 years ago, as I complained to the cashier that the side entrance door for the public cannot be locked during normal hours and there were a number of HS teenagers inside, oblivious to the potential danger the locked door caused. It was locked...

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    I wonder sometimes whether they were really that good, being I suspect our taste buds/sense of smell have likely started to wear out, meaning it's not a fair comparison, as much as I agree with you.

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    Would be very curious to know more details on that engine build package here or PM or a link. It sounds impressive :thumbsup:

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    That is also possible with a pair of trunk mounted entertainment smoke machines, BTW. :popcorn2:

    Are you a 0-60 guy or a top speed guy?

    That makes the case for the use of electric exhaust cut-outs during burnouts, harder to hear what the tires are complaining about.:lol: It's only a matter of time before the US has the same laws. In Florida, just being near and watching a similar display gets one cited as a coconspirator.

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    Your thinking unfortunately has yet to be proven but I suspect it is true. It was part of my cessation of soda drinking thinking 6 years ago that had been nearly exclusively diet for 40 years, with nearly zero water and averaged 8 sodas a day. Now replaced with bottled water I get to contemplate...

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    The only angle I can see here that might be valid is to reduce inside traffic/occupation times, as it doesn't reduce overall costs much on a 95% profit item, it does increase labor costs as a staff member now has to interact with a customer, who has to first stand in line, they have to replace...

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    My last soda ever was 11/7/19, I quit cold turkey. I keep a Diet Dr Pepper in the refrigerator to test my will power, so far, it's holding up. I would still like the option of refilling my ice water myself if ever finding myself in a McDonalds, I don't think I am alone, but maybe.

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    I disagree, instead add a mandated $2? surcharge to every drive thru order and direct it to diabetes research and cure, and encourage the entitled customers to park and shut off their gas wasting idling polluting cars and get some exercise by walking inside and drinking all the calorie free...

    McDonald's Corporate BS

    Regarding one word salad reason McDonald's is removing all in store self-serve fountain refills: "Another significant reason is the rise of digital and app-based ordering, which has transformed the fast-food landscape. With more customers opting for delivery or drive-thru services, the...

    This is how you rough machine a Crankshaft!

    Thankyou :thumbsup: The relocatable steady rest was trick. Wonder how the crank gets its first journal machined for the steady rest. Usually when the sound generated is a deep loud groan, something is vibrating. Wonder what the finish machining set-up looks like?

    Very impressive. Thanks Is that an industry wide method/machinery for cranks? I was surprised I saw no cutting fluid, coolant, etc?

    The Hidden Social Security Math Nobody Shows Retirees

    Fair enough. but those planning on taking SS have to consider the likelihood of whether SS will be actually available for their retirement timeline, and need to consider the factors that insure that, and what will risk that will be and how. The who part is a personal choice. Knowing the source...

    Bought a big a$$ air compressor today

    I was on a jury that convicted a man for capital murder, because he backed his car into the driveway, left the lights on, left the door open, LEFT THE MOTOR RUNNING, among other things, also being a single person onsite alone was robbed and shot dead. Nobody saw anybody shoot anybody and there...

    Bought a big a$$ air compressor today

    Maybe, but that is why it has an unloader to reduce start up current demands and this I believe is a hobbyist application, not industrial full time factory application. The reason active phase convertors are difficult to justify is they have a motor running full time whether a load is placed on...
