Lego Engines

Lego Engines
roadandtrack.com- Legos have been a classic favorite that is still going strong. I have always enjoyed watching my boy’s play and build very intricate buildings and cars. But this trend is taking Lego building to a whole new level. I’m sure you remember when the little boy knocked over the $15,000 Lego statue! Well, these automotive-themed builds are just as detailed and took hours to build.
This recent trend involves Lego builders on YouTube building complex engines and hooking them up to electric motors with the sole purpose of spinning them to destruction. Yes, you read that right. Who would not love spending hours building the best thing you have ever built, only to destroy it. -I’m raising my hand by the way. Road and Track first discovered this happening with a video shared by Digg, and you know how that goes… far down the rabbit hole. YouTuber sayaman made another video with an engine using grapeseed oil as a lubricant. The pistons gave out. A couple of other YouTubers posted videos of these creations being destroyed.
YouTuber, Brick Salad, builds various Lego motors with the goal of making realistic engine sounds, again often destroying his work in the process. One video shows a Lego V6 spinning up to a claimed 12,000 RPM, exploding at the end.
YouTuber nugru didn't exactly have a full-on explosion with this V6, but when spinning it up to 14,000 rpm, the flywheel launched clean off, and the engine started smoking.
It is for sure the coolest trend I have seen, and I can not get enough of these videos. I do not mind getting sucked into watching Lego engines being put to their limits at 4 a.m. You should check them out.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...

Williams Group Auto - Seatbelt Statistics | Used Car Dealership in Abilene

  The Importance of Wearing Your Seatbelt When doing our research into buying a new vehicle, we shop around, go for a test drive, look into the car's history, find repair records, and other countless things. A few other things we look for might not be as important in the purchase process but more of a personal preference, such as color, whether it has Bluetooth, a sunroof, and so on. Either way, it is safe to say that we all want the same thing, to feel safe in our vehicle. When it comes to our safety, seat belts are one of the most important devices. They are important in our everyday lives to us and our passengers. While some incidents are rear-ended accidents, others are scarier. And what is more frightening is that in 2016 there were 37,461 people killed in motor accidents, and 48% of them were not wearing a seat belt. Not wearing or improperly wearing a seat belt can have fatal consequences, and to spread awareness, the State of Texas introduced the program Click it, or Ticket...
