Removing The Cars’ excellent first two albums (1978’s The Cars and 1979’s Candy-O) from consideration would seem like a pretty devastating handicap, but the band’s consistency during its career of just under a decade ensures plenty of great ’80s tunes to choose from for a best-of list. The uncanny combination of Ric Ocasek’s songwriting and vocals with Greg Hawkes’ keyboards and Elliot Easton’s guitar proved to be an irresistible one for music fans of the era....

It takes a lot to make an engine work, but none of it would be possible without the atomization of automotive liquid fuels. In this process, fuel is forced through a small jet opening under extremely high pressure to break it into a fine misted spray.

With the dizzying variety of TPMS sensors used by vehicle manufacturers, it has become very difficult for tire dealers and installers to keep up, and nearly impossible for many shops to stock the incredible number of OEM sensors that would be required to cover the market. This can create an enormous problem for installers, due to NHTSA regulations that in some cases can require an installer to hold a customer’s car until they can acquire the proper replacement sensor, a problem that will generally be painful for both the installer and the customer alike....

For example, video and audio technology have changed greatly in the last 25 years. VHS tapes, camcorders, and cassette tapes are considered obsolete by the general public....

But these quotes about IT, tech and computer systems remind us that technical difficulties are a universal experience and there is some humor to be found....

However, when the glass is commingled with other materials in the recycling process, broken glass shards can result in contamination and safety concerns. Another consideration is that fewer and fewer glass containers are being purchased as consumers shift to plastic....
Car and truck suspension springs generally fall into three categories: leaf springs, coil springs, and torsion bars. These springs support the vehicle, allowing it to react smoothly to road height differences, bumps, and dynamic vehicle loading, like passengers, cargo, braking, and turning. While springs will continue oscillating until acted on by an outside force, shock absorbers will eventually wear out, which is why shock absorber replacement should be on your radar....
“Closest to the pin” refers to exactly what is sounds like it refers to: the golfer whose ball stops nearest to the flagstick is closest to the pin (or nearest to the pin, as some say). That’s simple. The question is, why is this expression so common in golf?
