I was once addicted to the hokey pokey. My wife threatened to leave me so I had no choice but to turn myself around.

1-2 MPG is a pretty large percent when the vehicles were getting 17mpg or so, at the time, highway mileage. It was likely all pushed by EPA regulations. "According to EPA test drives, the technology effectively improves fuel economy by 6 to 8 percent." https://www.autobytel.com/car-ownership/active-fuel-management-general-motors-104039/#:~:text=The technology made its debut,allowed for more reliable performance.

I still have no idea why AFM is used at all, only to save maybe 1-2 MPG. It seems unnecessary when anyone could buy a vehicle with a smaller engine and lower curb weight to improve fuel economy.

If we are talking about height. Im below average. If we are talking about...um...length, yup...Im WAY above average in THAT category. AHEM... ( I am Greek... They say once you go black....and we know the rest, but...once you go Greek, you cant walk for a week...anyway) Speaking of which, I just just happened to tune in and start watching the movie Grand Prix for the very first time. I just just came across a line from the movie that is in the beginning. Which inspired me to write the dumb dialogue on top. There is a lady in bed, and asking a lover or her husband? Hugo if he has ever had ouzo. Hugo then responds that he has "had everything my dear". Then she responds that she was with 2 Greeks last night and she had ouzo, a LOT of ouzo with an expression of lust in her eyes and thirst in her lips to which Hugo responds back, "and where may I ask, was your husband when all this Greek and ouzo business was going on?" I had to laugh because: 1. I am Greek. 2. Yeah, Greeks will try to sleep with anything that moves. Married, single, young, old. Dont matter. Im not so sure they would do it with the help of ouzo though. 3. Did she actually imply a threesome? And adultery? In a 60s movie? While drunk? 4. Yup, this movie was made in the '60s, not today with all the #metoo awareness. 5. I DO think it was consensual regardless of all the ouzo drinking BECAUSE she talked about it like she would repeat the drinking and the threesome with these 2 Greeks. My random thought for the day. I will be watching the rest of the movie now. Talk to you guys later.

Precursor to today's 'floating screens' ?

Just trolling extra hard this week huh? He clearly clarified the custom aspect of it and was stating that frames could be built like this from the start, which would not even begin to be the issue you are making it out to be since he is not referring to that exact frame above, only using it for visual reference. Read his post again and then see why your reply was not even necessary.

There is a zero percent chance this frame is as rigid as it was prior to holes being put in it. I'm not saying there aren't ways around making more interior space (although I think the hump in SUVs is grossly overblown) but this is not one of them. Where's the GIF of the Tundra dancing over bumps?
