Listening to mechanics at a dealership is like believing everything you see on the internet - self serving on their part. BTW, a Denso starter is just a starter made by Denso, a japanese company. They are very good heavy duty starters. In practice, the less COLD starts/stops the better for the engine. There is no difference for a warm engine though, but there IS a difference in fuel savings.
Nope, the engineers took that into account and "beefed up" the solenoid and the starter accordingly. I do find the feature annoying and contributing to a feeling of lack of control over the vehicle. But then I feel the same about automatic transmissions! I drive a 6 speed manual.π
You haven't been to the Olympic Stadium in Montreal for the worst sound. π€ Since even the best of indoors is bad, I won't attend any DC presentation at an enclosed stadium.
Are you saying that you haven't seen all of these shows live? I find that hard to believe. Or, are you saying that these are you favourites? BTW,beside the 1972 Blue Stars, I have seen all of the others live.
Agreed, but then I don't attend any indoor DC contest, because the sound is so bad. Even if held in San Antonio, which definitely is much more interesting than Indy, I would not attend. The last DCI chamionship I have attended was 2007 Pasadena, which definitely is way more interesting than Indy.π
If you mean 'habillement' or clothes, then you are correct. It covers both costume and uniform. Costume is a broader term, which includes uniform as a subset. If I were to wear an army uniform to a costume party it would be considered a costume. I don't understand why costume is considered pejorative. DC has always been donning costumes, they just happen to be military uniforms for the most part.π
Either on the road to Buffalo for our last contest or on the road back to home near Montreal after some 7-8 contests during our annual DC tour which would have started in Little Rock AR. Sigh, not this year.π€
Well I guess that I am even older than you. As a process engineer, I first used Fortran 4 with punch cards. Moved to APL later. Still have my Texas Instrument Ti 81 or is that 61?π€
