I used to always ponder the abuse the alternative form of transportation was subjected to, watching fat people load up into cars. Is there some point where it's physically unsafe for an individual to be driving a car at his current mass? Not as in axles breaking under weight, but a hard right hand corner blowing out a tie rod because of 350+ pounds of ballast in the front left.
Early NA - 2600 GVWR with a 2100-2200 curb weight? Wonder how much of the population can overload a miata by themselves.
Does this mean I can legitimately run a "no fat chicks" sticker on my car, as I am legally not allowed to carry such weight?

Anyone ever use one of these cheap Ebay ESR meters for testing caps with success? Is it worth the $15 or will I end up trashing it Techsalvager style?

I just wanted everyone to know that .horse is now a TLD. For example: walmart.horse
Someone go register miataturbo.horse before I get there first

hey guys, as for I am only 25 going on 26, I am still learning stuff, and I came across an old article while reading up on boosted engines and was wondering something--
Do people still use toluene as a additive in fuels?

Strange you asked about that. I used it a few years back on a one time project, but for the life of me I cannot remember why. It was not for a fuel additive, but I vaguely remember that is was for cleaning something abnormal. I disposed of it after that project.

Too expensive, too thin, and too high of a vapor point. It also eats rubber, much like alcohol.
Other than that, I'd bet they still use a little bit in those octane booster things for sale at gas stations.
The only time I'd try is if I had a nearly full tank of knocking gas, and I didn't want to drain the tank or have room to dilute it.

That's mostly the only time I've ever heard it too, German cars (and bikes, well I've never heard that last one but it makes sense)
They get better fuel in Europe, right? It would make our crummy American fuel more like the good stuff.
Didn't F1 used to run straight toluene, too?

I think that was back when they were (turbo'd) 1000+ hp and big rear tires?

So today i tried the oculus rift dk2.. i felt dizzy on the roller coaster. You know that feeling you get when you're riding in a car and you're watching something on a monitor while sitting sideways on a twisty road? Yeah i felt like that however that could have been because i only got 4-5 hours of sleep.

Anyone use pomade here?
Looking to try some water-based. I've narrowed it down to the three obvious choices:
Roughly in that order. I'll probably pick up some Layrite to try first.
