Seems I read somewhere a fellow was regularly driving a very tired old 1200 Beetle around and they dynoed it at 15hp but it was still usable for puttering around town. How about an old Zundapp 25cc moped that I had to pedal assist going up hills. That was a nice looking bike and fun to drive as well

Used to be a joke telling folks their blinker fluid was low or the muffler bearings were shot. Now we have exhaust fluid, flaps, injectors to worry about.

I always thought trunnion was a funny sounding word like corpuscle and einfahrt.
