Little Johnny joke:

 

Teacher endeavors to get a handle on her classrooms understanding of a food chain so she asks her class to give an example of the name of an animal ending in tor that eats other animals. Little Susie pipes up and answers alligator, teacher beams with a big smile and says, congratulations Susie, exactly the kind of answer I was looking for!  Richard raises his hand and answers predator, teacher tells Richard that she will accept his answer even though that was more the topic at hand and not a specific animal. Lastly, with much excitement, Little Johnny raises his hand and shouts, I know, I know!  Teacher rolls her eyes as she is familiar with Little Johnny's unorthodox and somewhat embarrassing answers, but she can't help herself and decides to let Johnny answer anyhow. Johnny shouts out vibrator. With a confused look on her face, teacher tells Little Johnny she doesn't understand how a vibrator could eat anything. But teacher, Little Johnny retorts, my big sister says her vibrator eats batteries like there is no tomorrow!

The outgoing leader wanted a special postage stamp issued with his picture on it. 

 

He stressed that it should be of international quality. 

 

The stamps were released and the regime was pleased. 

 

But within a couple of days of release of the stamp, he began hearing complaints that the stamp was not sticking properly, and he was furious. 

 

So, he ordered an investigation into the matter. The investigator checked the problem out at several post offices, and then reported to the installed dictator. 

 

The results revealed that there was nothing wrong with the quality of the stamp. 

 

The problem was that people were spitting on the wrong side.

During that last bad snowstorm we had, my wife ended up getting lost. 

 

I asked her, "Weren't you scared?" 

 

She said, "No, because I remembered what my dad had told me once. 

 

He said, "Just wait for a snow plow to come by, and follow it."

 

"Sure enough, a snow plow came by, and I started following it." 

 

She said, "It was difficult and dangerous to stay up with him, but she was able to manage for about 30 minutes.

 

Finally the driver of the snow plow got out and asked her, "Ma'am what are doing?"

 

I guess she explained to him how her dad had told her that if she ever got lost in a snowstorm to just follow a plow. 

 

The driver nodded, and replied, "Well, I'm done with the Walmart parking lot, do you want to follow me over to Target?"

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
