Definitely not, it's a late model diesel, mazda CX-5. I'd never get it back together if I did that.
It's also been doing the coolant thing for a while, so it's not getting any worse. I might just nurse it along for a while, you just need to remove the radiator cap and blow into the overflow pipe to push it back into the radiator.
So, turns out my car might have blown a head gasket. Fun times. It's overflowing way too much coolant into the overflow tank, so possibly exhaust gases getting into the system.
This is great news, reusing rockets is a big part of how SpaceX are so incredibly competitive, so it's good to hear there are multiple companies doing it now.
The number of signs I went past on Napier-taupo protesting the changes was quite surprising, it was pretty clear the locals were against the changes. Similar story with the Wairarapa, I assume.
I also managed to wheelspin, on the road, in an AWD vehicle, in second or third gear. The road surface was in appalling condition.
Personally, I'm glad Transmission Gully and the Kapiti Expressway are going to 110, it's one of the safest roads in the country, despite the fact that the speed limit is ignored wholesale.
There are really people out there who think like this, aren't there? And they live their lives blissfully unaware of how long they'd last should the government actually disappear.
There is indeed less fuel used, and therefore less pollution, when you slow vehicles down. This was tried back in the 70s, I think, with the oil price shocks and the 55mph speed limits in the USA. I think NZ did something similar.
There is a concept of acceptable risk when making these decisions, I.E how much is a reasonable amount to spend on preventing a death.
It's used extensively in the building industry to calculate how seismically resistant a building must be, or whether sprinkler systems etc will be required in a building.
Some of the changes made by Labour were just daft, in my view, and the extra travel time and loss of productivity did not justify the small increase in safety. There were also a number of roads such as the Napier-Taupo road, where Labour decided lowering the speed limit was a better option than making much needed safety improvements to the road, or even just maintaining the road.
I'm personally glad to see the blanket approach to speed limits being abandoned.
At some point, I need to go through the various insurances we have and check we are getting good value for money, between house, contents, and cars, it's a lot.
