A Ford Flathead V-8 Rebuild Time-lapse
Worst mistake I ever made was repainting my '51 Chevy. The patina was on the way to being perfect.
Now I take photos of every worn, vintage car I find so I can faux reproduce it on my '74 Karmann Ghia. There's nothing more beatiful than paint worn through to primer at the edges and the satin luster of old stainless trim.
It's not unrestored, it's "patina".
This is what a ZERO star-rated car looks like in a test
Not even a .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 star?
Aren't very old vintage cars like this?
IKEA introduces Daddy Day Care: MANLAND
I live in a touristy town, with lots of "cute" shops.
There is also a nationally known vintage car business in an old garage, one block off the main drag. Great old cars and memorabilia in a stinky, gasoline-y environment. It's great.
Whenever I see dejected and patient men sitting on the benches, I tell them about the cars, only one or two blocks away.
Bioethanol - Periodic Table of Videos
>> ^coolhund:
I agree completely with visionep. Milkmans points are just not true or avoidable.
Theres also the point of engines not being able to run Ethanol at all. Vintage cars for example.
In the end this bio ethanol is just another farce to make money, at a very high cost to... as always... the poor.
What this guy says in the video is just not true. Even with only E10, a higher priced gasoline will still give you better mileage (up to 10%). This is happening in Germany right now. Nobody is buying this ethanol crap because it simply isnt worth it. Not to mention because of the detrimental effects on people and cars.
Yes, some older cars do not run well with an ethanol blend, and some might take that to a point where they wouldn't run at all.
You say bio ethanol is a farce to make money (aren't all businesses?) and the cost targets the poor. That makes a good
soundtext-bite but I don't see how ethanol production is particularly detrimental to the poor, at least not in any way that isn't heavily outweighed by other competitors. Care to elaborate?About mileage: yes, any blend of ethanol will give lower gas mileage than pure gasoline. The point that I would suggest is that when you burn that gallon of gasoline, it isn't coming back. At least not for a few million years. We can/will keep on burning through oil for a while, but as we do so the prices will go up.
Right now, today, the market settles out so that in Brazil the cost per unit of distance traveled may actually favor gasoline; car owners "vote" at the pump. But I'm talking about the long term, in the future. Corn, or better yet switchgrass, grows back. Not in millions of years, *next* year. We're just a few years down the line from the initial introduction of ethanol and ethanol blends as a fuel. And yet already it is making a bit of competition with big oil.
If better alternative fuels come along (hydrogen fuel cells or whatever), I'll be open to them. But at this point ethanol seems like one that actually works, and has been working, in spite of the fact that it doesn't have a fully stable infrastructure yet.

Honda Cog Ad
Oh yeah! This is amazing! Too bad most people thought it was CGI. It cost...what?...half a mil? And they took apart 3 rare vintage cars or something....
Still...a great ad.
