So you swapped out a few pairs of NOS parts on a couple classics. I worked as an engineer for akebono, one of the biggest brake manufacturers in the world. Almost every European and American manufacturer ditched asbestos around 1990. Some imported “value” pads may contain asbestos, and some classic cars are still gonna have asbestos pads. But the vast majority of cars on the road do not.
Asbestos isn’t used in brake pads anymore, we’ve gone to organo metallic mixtures. So mostly carbon with some iron, manganese, and nickel thrown in.
This post makes me want to buy a car.
Like Test_Tickles said, they’ve had 10 years for outside information to trickle in, and there is no way they haven’t been even tangently exposed to outside information. I absolutely do not consume any rightwing or for that matter any 24hr news networks but bits of both sides still filter in.
I’m not at all a gambler but I would wager a hefty sum that she doesn’t.
I was talking to my republican neighbor, whom I’ve been loosly trying to unindoctrinate, she’s still on board with him but isn’t a complete maga loon. She’s more the " I’ve just always been a Republican. " type. When questioned about being in the Epstein files a million times, or being found liable for rape, or any of the other million things, she just says, " well I don’t know about that, I don’t support that stuff. " like support is some sort of buffet where you can pick what you want.
Most of the people that support or have supported him are so shallow you couldn’t drown mouse in them. From all of my experience growing up in rural deep red maga country, they’re all either complete morons, complete hateful assholes, or a mix both.
I don’t get much hope from people like this.
They were ok with the rape, and the illegal deportations, and the pedophilia, and the elimination of public services and healthcare, the removal of any and all environmental regulations, the killing of American citizens in the streets, the genocides abroad, etc… But “OMG GAS PRICES WENT UP A DOLLAR???” is what counts as a step to far for these types of people???
In my eyes there is no redeeming what they were ok with. To little to late, they can all go get fucked.
Get the extra creamy variety of oat milk. Otherwise yea its pretty watery.
