  1. i can’t be the only one who runs regular in a GT right?

    The chart uses an average that is generally understood in the industry. After decades of testing millions of samples of fuel, they have a pretty good feel on what relationship RON and MON have to each other. The point of testing MON is really to get more precision, but the + in every octane...

    Does regular E85 count? :crackup:
  3. Higher mileage (50k+ miles) manual cars, check your clutch pedals

    Update: Got up under there with mirrors and did not see any cracks. I also do not have side to side play in the pedal. I went ahead and reinstalled the spring, in case I need to take it to the stealership. It definitely creaks a lot, and it sounds like it is coming from the area where the shaft...
  4. Higher mileage (50k+ miles) manual cars, check your clutch pedals

    This thread has me very worried. At around 11k miles, my pedal started creaking annoyingly. I thought it may be the clutch assist spring assembly, so I removed it. I thought this fixed the issue, but heard a creak a few days later. I got up under there and lubed everything, but creaking...

    You are replying to the wrong person. Go reread. I stated their bias, and why it isn't relevant to the data. Nor is it relevant to the research presented. You tend to post in a polite manner, but refuse to dig into the data presented, which is disingenuous. I can also tell your political...

    Not all children have the same backgrounds, opportunities, and assistance to get them to the top of the class. Most of the top students have parents who are there to help and push them. Trust me, I was a top student and part of the gifted program in elementary school. Every student I knew in the...

    This is an important paragraph from the research I posted: " This finding, that well-informed reasoning about the risk of disease and the adoption of prevention strategies occur over the life course, is likely to be the causal mechanism behind the associations between education and mortality...

    College Board has been around long before you and I. Their bias is basically towards helping kids receive the resources they need to complete higher education. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Board But their bias doesn't even matter. You can clearly see the citations in the presentation...

    I am an enginerd and data is my thing. The data shows that more higher education is a benefit to individuals and society. There is a reason why most of the wealthy countries have free university options. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.382.6913&rep=rep1&type=pdf

    I don't believe all institutions are taking advantage of students. Private universities likely do quite a bit, but many state universities have increased in cost as well. Part of that can be traced right back to reduced government assistance to the schools. I am lucky, as I graduated before a...

    You are about 30-40 years away from understanding what it takes to get a loan and how much school costs overall. You haven't had to deal with these modern costs, and as you said, you had a lot of luck in your own career. What about kids who don't have that luck. You can get a federal loan...

    Federal loans aren't easy, and they don't cover the cheap part. Most of the time, you will need a cosigner with credit history. Even if you manage to get the loans, they don't help reduce the cost of education. That is the key issue. If you are a good student, you shouldn't have to leave college...

    Ha, I have my own rattling mustang. Glad I can drown the sound out with my exhaust.

    If 50% of the population is making so little that they need government assistance, then so be it. But that number is incorrect. The last census showed the number to be 21%. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2015/cb15-97.html Just because people don't make much, doesn't mean they...

    I am with you on that. I hate when people call government funded healthcare or education"free". It isn't free, and the people who push it generally know that. We all pay in, even the people using it. Some pay in more than others, but that can be said about pretty much everything in government...

    Healthcare is excellent in these countries. I lived in Italy and Germany. Both have great systems. Yeah, they pay a bit more in taxes, but they get much more out of it as well. Most German students get out of college and start working with zero debt. So they may make a little less take home, due...

    No, but a friend of a friend here has one. I will probably ride with him soon. He loves that thing.
  18. Goodbye to Ford...2018 Mustang Gt ownership

    I am in love with the C8 Vette. I tried to fight it, but I can't. I bought the stang because of the new euro-ish styling. The C8 takes that to the next level. Closest thing I would ever want to something Italian.

    The governments of many countries are far more involved in education and healthcare than the USA, and many of these countries pay a fraction of what we do for education and healthcare. Private universities are exponentially more expensive than state universities. This isn't just a simple issue...

    I may be in the minority here, but I actually got a lot out of my general courses. I also took them seriously, because my math courses put my GPA in a bad spot. I took a theater/acting course, which greatly improved my public speaking abilities. I took a course in art history, which helped me...
