I've been here since 2002 and my avatar is the only redeeming thing that I've brought to this site. I need to step up my game.

If you want to cry about it, meet me at Sonic and you can buy me a Route 1.3 litre after I check your knuckles.

Are you old enough to drive to Sonic, or do I need to pick you up? When you see my knuckles you will probably piss your pants. They are very impressive.

Was supposed to happen in 97. Much easier to use but too many Americans don’t feel they are smart enough to learn it. Should have happened years ago.

Step 3. In 25 years sell gas in liters.


They tried that back in the 1990's. People got mad. Oh, big oil been beating us here for over 50 years. Every time you get gas, you think you buying a gallon of gas, but only getting 9/10 of a gallon.

Temp conversions always still mess me up though.


Same here, though living in the desert SW, one quickly learns that 122F = 50C.

It does piss me off that many US cars have a mix of metric and standard bolts on them in their assembly. Pick one or the other for crying out loud and stick with it. That shite is maddening.


While some sizes may cross over,late model domestic passenger vehicles are 100% metric.

Who is going to teach children the metric system? Elementary public school teachers?
