My car just lost 6 1/2 lbs!

Whew.  I'm relieved. 

I thought you were going to say you stopped drinking beer...

I was afraid you lost your muffler.

Go wash your mouth out with soap right now!

Seriously, Bob, I don't think that's gonna happen any time soon. A neighbor came over in the middle of things, the lawn chairs came out, the fridge got opened and I'm surprised I got as far as I did!

Great.  A typical speedster owner's afternoon.  Start work, buddy comes over, stop work, drink beer, talk about cars. 

taco bell $1 specials work just as well to lose some quick weight.

Yeah, Bob, it was a good evening!

But that's a little unpredictable as to when it's going to take effect...

White Castle is much more predictable, and therefore, my go-to diet aide.

6 pounds! Zowie! Congrats, ALB.

Here's a brain teaser maybe. Are the spring plates considered sprung or unsprung weight?

Iwas wondering that myself, Ed.

The engineer in me would vote for unsprung.  The spring is the torsion bar, upstream on the torque arm.

Agreed. The trailing arm(in my case), spring plate(torsion bar cars), axle housing, brakes, rotor, wheel, tire, etc. Also the swingaxle, and half the weight of the spring and shock.

Thank you gentlemen!
