@HillbillyDNA I’m I the only one that was hoping that beaver would attack that yapping poodle and that lady in the sweat suit with a hatchet. 🤣

@GAFollowers Honestly people should avoid that area even when the lanes aren’t closed.

@BBGreatMoments This video doesn’t give nearly enough clarity about what really happened here. I’m sure that’s probably the point for click bait though.

@PeachProof23 If you’ve never been to a top fuel event be sure to get as close to the tent as you can after they rebuild them and start them up and get even closer when they do the clutch seating ritual. A lot of people will start backing up but that’s just to let first timers get closer.

Ever seen a mechanical masterpiece built for a 4-second lifespan?
Welcome to the adrenaline-fueled world of Nitro Funny Car racing, where the engineering is as fleeting as it is explosive. We’re talking about 12,000 HP machines that scream down the track at 330 MPH, pushing parts to their absolute breaking point.
Because these engines are essentially controlled explosions, they only last for one run—roughly 4 seconds. After that? It’s back to the pits for a complete overhaul.
The Ultimate Race Against the Clock
Once the car returns, the crew has less than one hour to tear it down and build it back up before the next round. It’s a choreographed dance of grease, grit, and precision:
The Heart Transplant: Pistons and rods are swapped out every single run.
Fresh Friction: A brand-new set of clutch disks is installed to handle that insane torque.
Head Game: Fresh heads and new gaskets go on to ensure maximum compression.
Thirsty Machines: These beasts can gulp down up to 16 gallons of nitromethane in just one pass!
Precision Under Pressure
From the driver packing their own parachutes to the crew chief double-checking every stud, there is zero room for error. The car is warmed up in the pits, the crew dons gas masks to survive the fumes, and the engine is tuned to perfection.
It all culminates in 4 seconds of pure, unadulterated power. If you blink, you’ll miss the miracle of engineering that just happened.
Could you handle the pressure of an under-one-hour rebuild?

@FrankBr05713205 Should the tire shop be held accountable for the damage?
English

Here is one disadvantage of having a car with all-wheel-drive. If any of the tires are more than 2/32 of difference in tread depth, it can damage the transfer case. Here is a transfer case out of a car that the customer had put one new tire and had three half worn tires on the vehicle. It didn’t take long before it tore out the gears in the transfer case. If you have an all-wheel-drive car, be careful of this. Most times when replacing tires on AWD vehicles, you have to replace all four. The only other alternative is there are some shops that can shave down tires to match diameters, but those can be hard to find.

@MisanthropicZo1 @FrankBr05713205 So it does not take 25 hours to change the oil. Thanks for validating my claim of skepticism.
English

@that_S10_Man @FrankBr05713205 Top end inspection due on every oil change, they pull the heads and check valves.
It has 16 drain plugs...
English

If you think your car is expensive to service, consider this. If you own a Bugatti Veyron: An oil change typically costs between $20,000 and $30,000, primarily due to extensive labor (over 25 hours) and specialized parts required for the service. It requires removing multiple body panels, to access 16 drain plugs. Tires: $8,000 - $42,000+ per set of four. Wheels: $50,000 per set (recommended every 10,000 miles). Brakes: $118,000 for front brake discs, pads, and calipers. In conclusion. Over four years, maintenance, including tires, fluids, and specialized parts, can exceed $400,000 to $500,000 Crazy, isn't it?

@YosimetiSam2 @FrankBr05713205 I’m not a huge corvette fan because it’s just not my genre, with that said for decades they have compared to and even out classed other super cars for a 10th of the cost with a rather simplistic design comparatively.
English

@FrankBr05713205 Volkswagen designed junk.
A Corvette ZR1X will smoke it, cost $230k and you can take it to Jiffy Lube.
English

@homesteader23 Weather patterns seem off, the southeast is in a drought when spring time is when we get the most rain. Very odd pattern.
English

@HillbillyDNA I would have smoked her and her babies if that were close to my home. They are highly venomous and will bankrupt you if you are bitten by one of them. I respect nature and understand they have a purpose but close to home I’m handling business and I’m not ashamed.

@Flyingponytail Why are Harley people so nasty and dirty looking?

RIP David Allen Coe, this photo was taken at the Iron Horse during bikeweek 2006. Can't believe it has been 20 years ago! We walked to the stage and I saw him sing a few more times over the years! Wasn't he a trip to talk to?!? Would love to see your photos of him! #southernrock

@ClownWorld She was trying to find a reason to not pay and get a free service, hopefully it dint work.
English

@BussinWTB Hopefully his people will protect him from the outrageous crime rate in Chattanooga, I’m sure they will.
English

@FrankieS83752 If it has oil pressure and it’s not running hot then don’t worry about it. IMO that light is just a suggestion. If and when a real issue arises you will know.
English

@homesteader23 g I know you raise pork but to be honest beef ribs are the absolute best and far superior to pork ribs IMO. I still love pork but beef gets the win when it comes to ribs.

@buperac Hunters do the same shit on deer and waterfowl leases. Will drive right past a no trespassing sign and try to sweet talk your grandma. No idea how many times I've had to run off idiots for both farming and hunting
