(Formerly “python says things”)
This is a group that aims to educate the users of sticknodes about the anatomy of the automobile, things like drivetrain configurations, engine configurations, frame configurations, ect ect. (This is listed to be created by python a while back but he has me as mod on some groups and for some reason I can’t create any groups so yea)

Im not necessarily fond of 50s cars but these 2 are just awesome
The packard predictor: the packard predictor is the last car made by packard, never made it to production which sucks, but we got one hell of a concept car out of it.
the oldsmobile delta 88. This one actually did make it to production, and actually paved the way for later muscle cars like the camaro, and charger
We owe it to the delta

Man I think old mercedes is way cooler then new mercedes
Old mercedes is reliable (sight the mercedes benz w123) and looks gorgeous
New mercedes looks aight but doesn’t have an interior as cozy as the old ones
I know different eras have different luxury standards but IMO, 90s luxury is so much better then modern luxury

Useless car fact #8
Automotive wording
You may hear a dishing need like me say words like \”valvetrain\” or say phrases like \”money shifting\” and not know wtf it means, well look no further, this posts goal is to educate the sticknodian population on Automotive blabber
\”Money shifting\”: money shifting is 2 words that are used to describe an act done with a manual transmission. A money shift is where you are in a higher gear, moving at a fast speed, but you accidentally shift into a low gear. The reason this is called a money shift is because shifting from a high gear to a low gear at high speed can result in many unwanted things, these unwanted things include but are not limited to: damaged transmission gears, damaged clutch, damaged engine, and blown engine. The reason it would blow you engine, is because when you shift from a high gear to a low gear at high speed, it changes the gear ratio in the transmission, so basically what happens is the when you money shift at a high speed, your RPM will sky rocket and blow past the red line and effectively blow your engine. No matter what engine it is.
\”Red line\”: the red line is a zone in an engines RPM (rotations per minute) gage that shows RPM that the engine is capable of, but should not be operated at.
Take for example, a car that has its red line at 7000 RPM, you can safely use the 1000 to 6000 RPM range, but if you go past that, into the 7000 to 10000 range, you run the risk if blowing the engine, or atleast damaging components, this is why moneyshifting is bad, because it makes your RPM go far into the red line.

@nln56 opinion on the newer (2020+) cadillac escalades?
they\’re my favorite suvs because they make me think of a suburban if it became a posh butler lmao
-
Personally I don’t like them, I don’t even really like the newer suburbans and tahoes.. there all just so…. big
I’m more into either the first gen escalades or the new trucks
Give me a regular cab short long bed 2019 GMC Sierra over an escalade any day of the week
They also look a bit odd to me, not ugly, but just off pitting, the style goes fucking great on the xt5 tho
You know what
Ima say it

ah shit the spark plugs blew out
is anyone here a mechanic

Replying to:
Nah that Crack was my trans-case combusting for the 294742nd time this month (I’m a chevy (chevys have bad transmission reliability))

Well if you wanna feel more uncomfortable
Nodedude wants to draw the bee lady from helluva boss in a bikini
And I’m drawing loona in a imponte ruiner to combat that
-
Replying to:
i did not draw her in a bikini she is wearing her normal outfit but i can draw her in a bikini….
-
Replying to:
That’s her normal outfit she’s just drawn really skimpy in the show
-
Replying to:
she wears a crop top aand shorts if you actally look you can see it

-
Replying to:
Holy shit why does fuckin CB radio entinas
-
Replying to:
its insect antennae my head canon is that she is the daughter of the original king Beelzebub who my headcanon is Zestigial which is where she gets her insect traits from the hellhound traits from her mom i guess again that’s my headcanon because people think her design does not deserve to be the original beelzebub.
-
Replying to:
here is a zestigial screenshot i found

-
Replying to:
Okay hear me out
Helluva boss beelzebub
Vs supernatural beelzebub
-
Replying to:
wouldn’t happen unless supernatural beelzebub did something that ruined the good vibes at one of her parties. my headcanon beelzebub is one of the oldest demons in hell second to lucifer, but i still haven’t found out his personality and maybe do my own design for him (working on it right now its based heavily on the canon design)
-
Replying to:
but headcanon beelzebub probs is not level headed as his daughter and is quick to anger sooo he would try to kill supernatural beelzebub but i cant tell you if he would win or not cause i know barley anything about supernatural
-
Replying to:
Honestly, there are things on google saying supernatural is getting a 16th season and if they did a Scooby-Doo crossover, I wonder if they’d do a helluva crossover
Probably not tho, they are 2 completely wildly different shows
-
Replying to:
did vro just compare scooby-doo to helluva boss
two of those shows you just mentioned are mid and scooby-doo isnt one of them-
Replying to:
I did not compare them??????
Ever heard of an example??????
-
-
Replying to:
you have no idea how much that would complicate things
-
Replying to:
1 . It would break the internet (the supernatural side and the helluva boss side)
And 2 that’d be one fuckin awkward episode to watch with my parents
-
Replying to:
it would have to be non canon because from the way i see it supernatural is more biblically accurate than helluva boss and the demons are horny and violent as fuck (the cannibals being the most violent in my opinion) and the designs would not mix well nor translate to 3d well either
-
Replying to:
Well supernatural has enterdimensional rifts, so it would actually be canonically possible
That’s how they got into the Scooby-Doo universe
-
Replying to:
Oi
Bruva
Remember that time I wanted to make beelzebub?

We got thicc GM trucks before GT6
Actually before gt5 but still
The GM qaudrasteer system
The general motors qaudrasteer is a GM truck system from the mid-late 2000s, it was available on suburbans, sierras, and silverados. It was a system that… well… the name kinda says it all. It has steering in all 4 wheels. So you, in your silverado or sierra, you could have the same steering as a monster truck, or atleast similar
These trucks are honestly really nice to look at, recently GMT-800s have been growing on me a lot, and this is just adds to that.
And I don\’t really get it, people say these trucks are shit, and others say they are the bomb, I don\’t get it
I geuss the haters are the people who treat it like absolute ass and get all pissy when the truck breaks down when they don\’t maintain it

well this is a post you made of all time

Okay, (Rant nerd warning)
So it has come to my attention that there is a game out there, a vr game, a job “simulator” game. I watched a video on it, and I have no clue where to even begin. Yes it looks fun, and I like vr because I can throw shit at things with no consequences, but this is just chaos.
So in this image you can see an engine bay of a motor vehicle from this game, first of all, there are BARELY any inline 3 cars on the market in North America, second of all, where’s the rest of the engine block? The head? The spark plugs? The fuel injection/carburetor? This thing has no way to prudence power. Third of all, it has a “battery” (a fucking potato cannot supply the required electricity to spark the spark plugs and power the interior luxuries) but the “battery” has literally no spark plugs to power. Plus I see no fuel lines, break lines, radiator, fan, literally everything that makes a car able to car.
Fourth of all, what kind of candy land pallas has a green, yellow red and what ever other colored motor??
Fith of all, replaceable round headlight housings havent been in production cars for literally 50 ~ 60 years.
Sixth of all, no car is shaped like that. The fuel efficiency on those cars has to be atrocious. But oh wait there are no fuel lines so this thing must get infinite MPG.
Seventh of all, some of the cars have square pistons, which if you tried to make a square piston in an ACTUAL petrol engine, it wouldn’t, work, or atleast be reliable. Pistons need seals on them, and these seals are rubber, there purpose is to keep the combustion chamber and the motor oil from interacting with eachother and burning oil. If your car has white smoke coming out of the exhaust, you are probably burning oil and need to get your piston seals replaced and motor oil changed.
Eighth of all, you do NOT want your exhaust being perged into the engine bay, that is an actual fire hazzard and could backfire. Literally. That’s why cars have exhaust manifolds, plus, having no manifold and just perging the exhaust into the bay is highly inefficient and will probably not pass emissions regulations. Plus if the exhaust gets into the AC/heating pump, that could be even more of a hazzard for your health.
Or maybe I’m a stupid bitch and these cars are running off of hopes, dreams, magic and wet farts. Oh well. (This is all in harmless fun, the devs are probably really nice folks who just wanted to make a cool game)-

its a vr game for people ages 10-13, rated pg

Replying to:
(This is all in harmless fun, the devs are probably really nice folks who just wanted to make a cool game)

You always have something to say on my longer posts don’t you.-
Replying to:
isnt this the first time ive commented on one of your longer posts
also i didnt read it because its like 450 words and 9 paragraphs so i didnt see that it was “in good fun”
im not going to read a 9 paragraph essay about something that doesnt need an essayalso, im not specifically going after you or trying to be an ass, if someone on reddit or twitter said this id make a post about them too
its not you its just a really stupid thing to rant about because its clearly not serious, and yet youre taking it seriously

Useless car fact #7: Automotive identification.
Here I have 4 1967 chevrolet B-Body automobiles, an impala, a caprice, a bel air, and a biscayne. All of this cars have the same front ends so you can’t really identify them there, also you could go off of the badges but some people change badges to fool up you into thinking you are going to race something slower. But this is if you can’t get close enough to read the badges. - Load More
