    Now I just desperately want to build a 1:50^12 transmission and hook it up with a tiny little propeller just to see what happens.

    When the sentence started with 'Artist' I knew this was going to turn into something akin to Patton Oswalt talking about "physics for poets".

    The principle of torque multiplication in gears and levers is quite amazing.


    As Archimedes once said about the physics of gears and levers:


    "Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth"

    Whatever you do, don't show this to the guys on the Toyota boards at Pirate 4x4.

    I just don't get it. The fact that some of these things have "idle creep" built in bothers me to no end.


    I've spent years enjoying the pursuit of the perfect double-clutched, rev matched, downshift. I don't want a computer to do it for me, even if it's better.


    I might be keeping my Miata forever (R package = armstrong power steering, U-crank windows, interactive door locks).


    I think I need to go for a drive.

    And to think, I still haven't owned a standard shift car yet.


    Why do I get the feeling I'm going need a barn full of fun, useful and/or shitty cars and parts by 2020?


    Oh yeah, because the only new cars will be gutless plug-in hybrid made out of hemp.
