I thought thread drift was when the previous person cross threaded a bolt into in aluminum and when you finally get it out there has been thread drift.

Could be but they don't get much snow in Florida let alone drifts.

I think in engineering a "drift" is a tapered tool that you drive into a hole in order to enlarge it. Thread drift must be then tapping a thread into that enlarged hole I guess..

I'm glad you broached that subject.   It's not exactly a do-or-die matter, but it can be filed away for future reference.   You know the drill?   (I could write reams on this.)

     But is it a good drift if we don't get into Delo vs. Rotella SAE40 and their relationship to 15W-40????  I have some popcorn that's getting old and I need to pop it soon.  If we're going to drift, let's REALLY drift!

     No, no, no.  You should never, never, ever buy any Korean or Chinese tires -- except those that the the best and cheapest, of course!

Are 21 year old tires still good if there are any tread left and you only see a few cords on the top. :o

If you fill your tires with propane instead of nitrogen, will that make it a hot wheels bus...

All
This talk about tires makes me wonder which coolant I should use in my radiators. Don’t want silicate dropout. Could cause a tire blowout.


There’s a rift in your drift for ya.

Heck, I learned to drift in a '63 Corvair Monza coupe, long before it was a sport!

Bryce, I once saw a guy cross dressed while eating a turkey and stuffing sand which and then of all things he got into a ‘63 Corvair and drifted.
