Re: REAL POLL: Does your manual FJ roll?
ok, I will state, it is the REASONABLE MAN thing I have trouble with
that is the same arguement as if a 1000 people jumped off a cliff, would you
just becuase a majority do it, does not make it correct
Hey, the biggest selling car in America is the Camry,it is correct to buy a camry as reasonable people do, everyone buying a FJC was wrong.
Same thought in that statement.
as far as the FJC rolling, let me cut and paste a thought I wrote a while ago
first, since the modle T, I am not aware of a vehicle that has POSITIVE compression. That is why we have VALVE OVERLAP. you see, never does both intake and exhaust valve(S) close at the same time. So therefore we rely on engine friction to keep it from turning and the vehicle from rolling.
BUT, nowdays we are using more and more alloys in egines to make moving surfaces, and the surfaces the move against less prone to wear, in other words slipperier (is that even a word?) Anywa so the habits we used 10 years ago may not be as safe today as they were then.
Chaulk it up to modern technology, and desiners wanting to make vehicles last longer and get better fuel mileage, while still delivering more and more Horse POwer.
So you see. Maybe the phenom of the thing rolling easier than your 85 Hilux pickup is due to advances in design, and maybe the habit of not pulling the parking brake is something we should rethink
