Explaining Differentials to a Noob, Part 1
 

So, at work, I was still debating about the price for this torsen I have come across that is "somewhat" local to me. Anyways, as I am thinking out loud, another guy from work over hears me. He says he is confused so I can stop talking to him. Well, being the guy I am, I try and explain the concept of how a differential works and interacts with the entire drivetrain setup, and about the different types of differentials. During the course of my speech explaining the different types, I mention TorSen, and explain the Torque Sensing part to him. So, after apparently still not understanding, he pauses for a moment, looks at me intently, then when I can sense he is going to say something intelligent in return, he says this: "I don't understand you and your Cross-Dressing Differential" and walks away. Moral of the story, average people are stupid, but entertaining.

My girlfriend understands how differentials work. You're just a poor teacher. :fawk:

13 y/o sister understands how they work . . i wont say you're a poor teacher just . . hmm
well . . ok yeah normal ppl are retarded, the average IQ is 100, wtf is that? LOL i cant remember a time that mine was any lower than 138

How about the point when you felt the need to brag about it?

Insecurity issues ftl . . . :sadwavey:
way to make me feel like crap for being smart . .
its like high school all over again . .
:giggle:

it's less about making you feel bad for being smart, it's pointing out that people who state it like that tend to be overestimating/exaggerating/etc...

what would you say to me if i went around saying "i have a huge cock, i swear!"

what gets me are guys that dont know anything about a car. How to change oil or any of that....I know of few of those. To me thats crazy. Two things my dad taught me was how to work on a car, and how to work on my house. Those should be staples for any man to have learned or need to learn.

Everybody should know how to change oil...fill their radiator if it looks low...fucking top off washer fluid and check air pressure....simple shit...

And be able to change a tire, whether you are a guy or a chick, both need to know, stuff happens out there in the big ol' world.

And to know how to tune a wine bottle to play Super Mario Bros...

but i DO have a huge cock!
XD k fair enough,
i DO wish my IQ were as high on paper as it was when i was in High School tho . .
(i ALSO wish i ACTUALLY had a huge cock . . . . jk im huge . .)
