If you sell your arm and leg to science, you can just about afford a burial plot.) That's why it's important that we, as a society, devise new and less space-intensive methods of getting rid of ourselves after death.

Personally, I prefer the explosion. Simply place the body in a box along with several hundred pounds of TNT or C4, apply fuse, and stand back. After the smoke clears, nobody will ever know you were here.

There is also the Viking method of floating off in a burning ship. That's pretty interesting on account of the fact that it's kind of romantic and you are eventually eaten by fish who enjoy a good brazed human once in awhile.

I would also put forth the idea of the centrifugal force system. This process involves placing the deceased in a giant tub that spins at extremely high speeds. After a few hours of that, your body will be flatter than a fritter and easily stackable. The value of this system is obvious since about 50 flat peeps take up about the same amount of space as 1 un-flat peep and, when combined with a length of string and some high winds, makes for a halfway decent kite in a pinch.

Finally!!! FAX with some reasoning.

suffice to say, I think this thread is now closed.

Greatest post I've ever read, hands down. I laughed IRL.

where the **** is Fax, and Rainman when you need them.

lazy bastards. they could solve this shit in 4 posts.

The fluid breaks down. Heat breaks it down.

If you never had a leak you would never have to bleed it, so IN THEORY the brake system would last forever. In theory, but not in the real world, where I work

Well no shit fluid breaks down smarty pants, but we're talking about the braking system, not part of it, or the force that drives pressure, which isn't actually the fluid itself.

If you were right, we wouldn't have service calls on rubber brake lines. If you were right, we wouldn't have expansion issues in rubber brake lines due to over pressurization in the braking system.

How does over pressurization even happen?

If pressure doesn't matter, how can you create a seal under zero pressure?

Fetzer is German. I should've made that clear. i have a VW

If I'm not mistaken, Fetzer has to do with something in the booster circuit/amplification world, but I could be heinously wrong. I've worked on a lot of Audi/VW stuff in my day and own many specialty tools (of which there are many for VW/Audi) and I've never ran into a Fetzer problem. Of course, if VW/Audi uses some kind of mosfet/fetzer system in their audio systems, then perhaps I have and didn't know.

As of right now, I do not know, but I"m pretty sure this is an attempted troll maybe?

90 percent of the time that rubber brake line got RESTRICTED. that's why they fail.

That's why when you step on the brakes the car pulls.one way then straightens itself out, then drifts the other when letting off the pedal. The restriction slows the fluid to the wheel, then holds the fluid at the wheel longer.

for the record......I'm so glad you guys know WTF you're talking about lol. If I tried to do it myself, I'd probably die.
lol

I'd have better luck disarming a nuclear bomb than working on brakes, from the sounds of it

[Dayze]

I think you're right. that sounds about right.
VW use inverted threads on their head bolts too. ****ing Germans

Mo .. go to a salvage .. if ya wanta repair it cheap .. line should be teed at middle of rearend .. take it loose there and then pull wheel cylinder too .. replace it all fo few bucks .....

actually it's teed on the drivers side of the diff.


OMG the line he needs is longer with no prop valve in between them.

Lol at the prop valve talk. School boy
