That was cool. I like the one on how a differential works too.

The water cooling tech vid is also awesome.

My link to this vid doesn't work anymore. If anyone wants to search it try "Water Boy" 1936 Chevrolet Motor Company.

I love full floaters for jacking with peeps. We had a bud that was real prankster. I got his ass good one morning at 5am when he was going to work. I popped his dog dish hub cap off, pulled an axle (he had a peg legger) and put his hub cap back on. I sat there watching his ass freak out, getting under his truck playing with the transmission, playing with his driveshaft an all kinda ****. It was great. I couldn't let it play out to damn long, he'd have been late to work, but oh man was it funny as hell. He didn't find it funny until he got home from work that evening. He did admit I got him good and I'd have hell to pay. I did point out to him he had it coming so he might oughta consider it a truce now and we don't phuk with each other like that. That ****** would do **** like switch 3 or 4 of my plug wires and make me think I slipped a timing chain and ****. So we just jacked with everyone else but he never jacked with me after that.

I think it would be cool to have all these old movies all in one spot. Ive seen the differential one before too. They may seem corny but for new people they help

I was thinking the same thing too. Like in the Squarebody Reference Library. We've really got to get that Library cleaned out. The library is for Nostalgic history and reference material things like this, not all the junk that gets started in there could have been outside in their proper categories. It will be done in time. Our Librarian has a busy life at the moment.
