Because a perfect circle is one with teeth sending power to the rear wheels. 3.14:1!!!
I’m not talking about the Sierra Cosworth. That Sierra had a much more stout 3.64 LSD rear gear. Nope, I’m talking about the most plebeian of Sierras, where forbidden fruit meets rotten tomatoes.
But, hey, at least it could still hustle around a track to exciting cocaine-fueled, big hair, commercial techno.

- Daniel J I had read an article several years ago that one of the issues that workers were complaining about with this plant is that 1/3 of the workforce were temporary workers. They didn't have the same benefits as the other 2/3 of the employees. Will this improve this situation or make it worse? Do temporary workers get a vote?I honestly don't care as long as it is not a requirement to work at the plant.
- Kosmo Tragic. Where in the name of all that is holy did anybody get the idea that self-driving cars were a good idea? I get the desire for lane-keeping, and use it myself, occasionally, but I don't even like to look across the car at my passenger while driving, let along relinquish complete control.
- Bof65705611 There’s one of these around the corner from me. It still runs…driven daily, in fact. That fact always surprises me.
- Master Baiter I'm skeptical of any project with government strings attached. I've read that the new CHIPS act which is supposed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. is so loaded with DEI requirements that companies would rather not even bother trying to set up shop here. Cheaper to keep buying from TSMC.

3.14? 3.64? Those are some seriously loafy gears for a car that size. Did the engine redline at 5000 or something?
If we stick with this being PI day we can celebrate by eating pie. What would we do for differential day?
