The Saab C900 clutch assembly is an interesting piece of engineering. This photo is from the top, with the front of the car to the left. Clutch, pressure plate, and slave cylinder removal can be done without dropping the transmission as in most cars. It's still not exactly an easy operation because the pressure plate has to be compressed and a special tool inserted in it to keep it compressed while the parts are removed.
I already have far too many cars but something about this #saab on craigslist is calling to me, even though it's an automatic with 200+k miles.
#introduction 3/3
But my heart really lies with #cars, specifically old ones. I'll do some posts to introduce the ones I have, including #vw , #saab , #bmw , #ford , #jeep , and #mercedes . I'm a mechanical engineer who works in the auto industry so my hobby and my job are closely related but that means new cars smell like work to me.
I live in West Virginia #wv USA.
He/him pronouns.

At the workshop. Nice to get this one out... #Saab #ClassicCars #TooManyProjects

So I did an #introduction post back in April when I first joined, but lots has changed in the fediverse, including me setting up my own instance, so I should probably go again.
I'm not a real-name-on-the-internet sort of person, so you'll have to just invent your own name for me. mvyrmnd comes from a Saab owners forum a million years ago, it's "Move your mind" (their slogan at one time) minus all the vowels. It has the advantage of never being already in use on websites, and the disadvantage of no one knowing wtf it means or how to say it. I still don't know.
In no particular order my interests are (i'm gonna hashtag all these to see if they bring anyone out of the woodwork)
#Saab (der)
#Geocaching - I once made and deployed the first fully electronic Geocache with a web-based log instead of a paper log, using a solar powered Raspberry Pi - until some local goons destroyed it
#EveryDayCarry - Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. I haven't been a day without a Leatherman and Torch in my pocket for 20 years. I kinda got bored with the #EDC "scene" when dudes were spending a thousand dollars on titanium fidget spinners.
#PokemonGo - I blame my kids
#ForzaHorizon - all of them - I love tooling about the countryside in a Mini at 400kph
#charitybash / #charityrally / #shitboxrally - I have a 1996 Ford Fairmont called Frank that's been done up to survive The Outback. My mum passed away from melanoma a couple of years ago - as a way of "planting a tree" in her memory I decided to raise money for charity in her name by building up an old shitbox into a rally car and tooling about the countryside in it. $4000 raised so far
#selfhosting - I'm trying to make Apple the only faceless megacorporation in my life. Everything else I use is self-hosted, except email. Self hosting email is for chumps
I don't work for anyone's profit, I spend a lot of time and energy not being exposed to any advertising. I had to learn how to expand the Toot length limit just to make this post.
Other stuff is in my Bio.
Thanks for listening.

With the aim of killing as many Venezuelans as possible with criminal economic sanctions, international Anglo- #Zionist #pariah, decaying empire, lawless, rogue, #fascist #US regime ordered its #bitch, Cape Verde Govt., to kidnap #Venezuelan diplomat Alex #Saab whose parents -- from Lebanese and Palestinian origin -- died while he was in captivity. #AlexSaab 's wife, Camila Saab, is interviewed by Mnar Adley.

US' power of #corruption is an enabler of its capricious, tyrannical, behavior against nations and/or individuals who do not abide by U.S.’ #illegal measures.
