Any timeslips? What tire pressures do you run??

Didn't intend to revive old thread. Sorry

I've got Adblock Plus, free to Chrome users, and I get no ads on this site. However, if this site depends on ad clicks for survival I'm willing to turn it off sometimes and do a bunch of ad clicking or whatever to help. Just need to know what exactly triggers the payoff. Wouldn't want to be doing multiple clicks on the same ad on the same day and find out only one counted.

Choose wisely.

I spent five hours doing my Google best before I posted the question and then another frantic five thereafter and immediately posted my finding of it. Now that you've seen it do you remember seeing it before??? In car magazines?? Just found this: Hastings sticker Apparently they aren't big on sponsoring anything these days. Had an hour and a half to kill finding out why your,and mine, decal searches were fruitless. And now I know. ?

You're not his dentist.?

So would I be correct in assuming the final circular result has a diameter equal to the square mask side length?? Fit the bitmap within the square mask anticipating an inscribed circle crop? Would be helpful to know the dimensions of the forum mask.

I will be converting the image to vector. Found it strange that the forum crop guide box is square and the image comes out round.

I ordered a set within minutes of seeing Randy's post. Wanted two sets just to help support the effort, but then realized the effort wouldn't be needed and now feel guilty for buying a set only to study and admire them.

Hastings Piston Rings. And I used my own feeble memory and Google to find it.

I'm looking for a specific image that I want to use for my avatar on this forum and need help finding it. In the old car magazines there was one advertiser that had a cartoon mechanic with a square face due to having a 4-way lug wrench in his mouth and I can't remember for the life of me who the company is. Unfortunately my car magazines from the 50's and 60's are in deep storage somewhere. I vaguely recall there was a story about how this character came to be. This is driving me nuts.

For you guys that have a classic 1:1 garaged because you don't want to risk damage in traffic this is a good time to check it over and prep it for a just for fun drive taking advantage of the light traffic conditions and coming spring. Do a little something for the wife before heading to the garage. This kind of activity relieves stress and gets you away from the depressing TV news watching. Of course this is aimed at the guys that actually enjoy driving more than showing, but you could actually have a car show by gathering in an empty parking lot with certain rules like must remain in your car and if you park must be spaced at least two cars apart. Even a slow isle parade can be done. Bring your own food and get an OK from the store who's lot you'd be using.

Just for reference. I saved this one because of the pinstripe.

Love that car, had 5 of them at one time and always the wheels looked too small, but the wheels you chose look much better sized. Mine were same body but not Levins so no flares. KE 25's, one an SR. You made my day.

Wasn't a fair comment.

Assuming you want them. Better to see how they can crash in sparse conditions so they get delayed until I'm gone. IMHO

Good time for driverless car testing. Vehicular distancing?? No problem. Same goes for Amazon's delivery drone testing. No airplanes to crash into and nobody outside with notions to shoot them down. Good time to sanitize the entire N.Y. subway system. Good time to pressure car insurance companies to reduce rates. Vehicle accident deaths might be reduced enough to offset the virus deaths. A real patriot?? Doesn't matter how anybody gets their money so long as they spend it all. Our economy is dependant on consumer spending. Free money is quite different from free stuff, unless it's toilet paper, same as cash.

I took this to heart immediately, but forgot to thank you for it. Thanks Rob.

Helvetica seems primarily used for the pure text printed stuff. You know, the stuff you really need to read that gets printed 0.5 point type. For mechanical drafting blueprints usually have only one font. Engineers don't need no stinking artsy font graphics. The feature I like and will use is where you can have a group of favorites separate from the "big" list. I think it will also save a globally adjusted custom version as a new font. Like if I take a straight up version and adjust it to italic with a custom slant or changed letter spacing for example.

During the corona shutdown jobs are being lost. It seems to me this a perfect time to focus on every road construction need and doubling the workforce to take advantage of the empty streets. Road workers are normally distanced adequately, usually wear gloves, many wear dust masks and work outside in virus killing uv sunlight. Even fuel is cheaper now. Infrastructure money is already available. Am I missing something??

Astonishing to realize how many fonts there are in my house. Seems like 90% of the stuff has printing on it and most have multiple fonts, like six or more on a packaged food item. Making me nuts looking at them all. Then there's even a font identifier app for phones. On one hand the font art style adds beauty, on the other It's a form of subliminal mind control. Very foreign to my mechanical engineering mindset. Wanted to put the Ford script logo, which I dearly love, on my carburetor 3D cad model and spent a week trying to create it in Solidworks. These new, to me, techniques will make that previously frustrating ordeal a fifteen minute breeze. Did the Google search and checked out a few of the links including Pete ones. Finding out Corel has advanced font tools. I'll never be an artist, but I'll certainly master reverse engineering a graphic, eventually.

What is your favorite or most used font search websites???? Looking for one where you type in your text, choose a filter or two and scroll through the samples. "F" will be Peterized, "resh" will be Dave'd. Result will be when I get the Corel program installed on my separate laptop workstation with a dual monitor set up. I am wanting to watch tutorials and practice the exercises at the same time. Forever grateful to you guys letting me into your graphics candy stores and pointing me toward the chocolates.
