I feel like a quintessential part of the modern Camaro is the bad visibility.
Its like not getting the little kernels in your shit after eating corn, you'd feel robbed
Sometimes the slow cars being driven fast can surprise you.
To this day, the fastest cars on the Hudson Valley goat path are not BMW's or Audi's or anything of the sort.
Its a group of 3 or 4 Honda fits with 265 wide summer performance tires up front. It looks goofy as fuck, but the speed at...
ABS Units pulse pressure to individual wheels based on signals from a reluctor wheel/ring at each hub. This ring also measures wheel speed in many cases, hence why losing a wheel speed sensor often means no ABS, as there's no signal to the unit from that corner of the car.

If you want to be a mechanic, you absolutely HAVE to specialize in something. Be the guy people come to for very specific issues. Whether its being the guy able to weld and repair harsh rust, or the guy who knows everything about a specific group of cars (60's, 70's, etc). Its the only way to...
