My brother in law's brother just bought an Audi S4 with the 4.2 V8 and 200,000 miles. A couple of months later, his shop found pieces of timing chain guide in the oil pan. Oops. The parts alone are approximately equal to the value of the car.

Need to hire a team of Swiss Watch makers to teach the Krauts how to do that right!

I'll see your hot rod Lincoln and raise you one blower. And yeah, I'd totally drive this all the time, but who wouldn't?

This morning's nerdfest, new home server hardware!

The new motherboard is an ASUS with an embedded, passively cooled, quad core Intel J3455. The PSU is WAY overkill, but it's so quiet, 80+ Gold, modular, and when the refurbished CS550, CS650, and CS750 are all the same price, why not go big? The ostentatious giant blue serrated heat sinks on the Corsair "Vengeance" ram is a little silly, but they were the cheapest second hand name brand 4 Gb DDR3 sticks I could find.

All is going into a second hand Fractal Design Define R4, that I basically stole from eBay.

Should be WAY more efficient, and dang near silent, compared to the old surplus Supermicro, quad core LGA775 Xeon, 1U rack server the drives used to live in.

I'm going to say no. because the factory pickups were all "ramp sides". The ramp lived where the Van side doors would be.

Trivia - The "95" in the model name is the wheelbase

Hmmm looks like a German engineer got carried away with their French curve.
