I agree there are different opinions on this... more importantly, I don't want to alienate anyone on a topic like this (and on a site dedicated to cars we all love). None of us have the ability to change it so no sense in pissing someone off about it. As far as middle class jobs being replaced with lower paying jobs, there are many articles on it. http://www.businessinsider.com/chart-jobs-growth-by-industry-wage-type-2014-6 http://news.yahoo.com/ap-impact-recession-tech-kill-middle-class-jobs-051306434--finance.html http://nypost.com/2014/06/07/death-of-the-middle-class-job/

I agree on growing the pile... and yes, we don't have crystal balls to know the future. But it doesn't take a professional economist to understand that it's not just manual, low skill jobs that are disappearing anymore. And actually, evidence does show the net loss of middle income jobs; with technology playing an ever increasing role. Individual examples of career changes expressed here would be hard to replicate on a mass scale (equal to the jobs being eliminated). I can also see "whole new companies" appearing for new things.... but that wont include lots of employees; quite the contrary. Each new company will use technology to reduce the amount of employees necessary. Don't get me wrong. I love technology and look forward to advances that make our lives easier. I don't suggest "keeping the horse and buggy" or "make work" jobs. I'm just saying that there will come a time that most things will not require human labor and we will have to recognize it's not a matter of education or people being too lazy to change that will prevent employment. The models of the past will not apply.

I'm sorry but we can't all be entrepreneurs... someone has to buy the product/service. Saying the answer is more education is incorrect because, as the video demonstrates, computers are learning faster than what is being taught. Or better said, it's getting easier to teach a computer than a person. The real question is what do we do when there is not enough demand for labor (including management)? Can't keep cutting wages due to abundant workers; who's going to buy products? Technology is advancing at an ever increasing rate. I see the have/have nots gap increasing. Some type of huge dynamic social change is going to have to occur. This is not the same as previous advancements. It probably won't affect most of us much but the next generation is in for quite a change.

Or the lack of them... scary for our kids and their's

I like a little more flush.. like these http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/FLUSHMOUNT-TURN-SIGNALS/ or these short stock... all of these are really small (for sportbikes) http://www.lockhartphillipsusa.com/SHORT-STALK-TURN-SIGNALS/

I've only seen one dry sump for the S2K and it was a crazy amount of money. Went the skid plate route.

Nice job there Bruce. Man, a couple corners don't have much room for error.

If only he wasn't such a pacifist

I know "more is always better" but the new Kraftwerks supercharger on my S2K will make 400 linear horsepower! Just got to get my kid through college first... then give West Texas a call

I don't understand how any group can think their way is the absolute right way when they have to use force, not reason, to get people to go along. I'm no expert, but not all forms of socialism "believe in a fixed amount of wealth" for the rich. In fact, I've never seen a cap on what you can earn in a socialistic society (now communism is another thing all together). I believe the goal of a socialistic government, like Norway for instance, is more a minimum level of services for all in society. And some of the rich don't see how this benefits them. Kind of the "can't see the forest for the trees" kind of thing.

Loren will probably be by soon with a definitive answer... When I changed from the stock ECM to the AEM stand alone unit, we eliminated the rear sensor. No problems. Stock may require it.

Too far from me too

The holes do look cool though;)

How important would the back wheel(s) be if it's not powered? It's funny that a trike with one front wheel is the worst but that Nissan concept racer has a very narrow front end with 2 wheels close together...

Looks fun.. a lot of power for one tire. Seems front wheel drive would of been better, but probably cost prohibitive for what they're going for.

Maybe it's the sexy dancing...

Thanks, Xcar. Definitely have to have right on your car;)

Didn't know there was that much to it. Curious what you do for phasing when you buy a new shaft?

Great news, enjoy!

Weird Al does it again... takes a hit song and something else that's relevant, puts it together for a classic

On a related topic.... What about this solution being talked about? "Single Sales Factor Apportionment of Global Profits to Broaden the Tax Base" shows that as an alternative to the U.S. corporate tax system – called a single sales factor apportioned corporate tax – would not only simplify the tax code and reduce the burden of corporate tax compliance, but also promote the principle that all businesses pay their fair share. The idea of “single sales factor apportionment” is to tax corporations based on where sales are made, not where profits are reported. So the share of a corporation’s total profit that the U.S. would tax would be based solely on the share of the corporation’s worldwide sales that occur in the U.S. If a company shows 10 percent of its sales occur in the U.S., then the U.S. taxes the company on 10 percent of its worldwide profits. This new system treats foreign multinationals just the same way it treats American multinational corporations – and the same way it treats smaller U.S. domestic companies http://crooksandliars.com/2014/07/simplified-way-tax-multinational

I try to avoid this section most of the time but got sucked in too... I've never seen a political thread where someone has said "Gee, you make a good point, my thoughts about this were completely wrong and now I agree with you". Except maybe for this thread I just wrote:)

Manshoon, I take it your for a race to the bottom... no problem with our way of life descending into that of a 3rd world country (some say we're already approaching it). Basically, survival of the fittest, damn everyone else. Henry Ford was smart enough to realized his workers needed a wage that would allow them to purchase his products. I think corporate America has forgot that. It's more of a get all you can while you can mentality nowadays. Imagine if all the tax breaks went to the middle class instead of corporations, do you really think there would be no businesses, that some enterpreanor couldn't make a profit or compete? One problem is competition isn't fair among business. Large businesses have lobbied to make laws that give them advantage over others. I was surprised that business didn't want universal healthcare for the fact that it would be an equal cost for all businesses. One less thing to have to factor when competitively bidding. It's not always trying to make the biggest profit, it's sometimes just trying to outbid others that leads to no health insurance, matching 401, etc... downward we go

Sounds like you're going down the road JohnK did.... hope your an engineer like him. I'd get in touch with Loren as I'm sure he can get you dialed in with minor tweaks rather than major modifications.
