How to super clean your vehicle’s engine bay

Whenever I’ve gone to a vintage car show, I’ve often wondered how they get their engines so sparkling clean. Now I know! This comprehensive how-to video from YouTuber ChrisFix shows exactly how to wash, and then detail, your vehicle’s engine bay. It takes about two hours, from start to finish, to get your engine super-shiny clean. I think his “before and after” engine bay photos are particularly satisfying.

After 28 years, Sony resumes vinyl record production

Sony last pressed a vinyl record in 1989. And it’ll be pressing them again by March 2018, reports The BBC , proof of the mainstream return of the ancient format—once again a billion-dollar business. Folks always argue about quality (will mainstream product mean mainstream mastering?) but the reasons for vinyl’s resurgence are complex. It’s a nice thing to own, it’s a pleasing retail experience, it’s nostalgic, it’s a better gift, it’s big enough to hang on a wall, you can fend off zombies with it, and so on. There are seriously lame aspects to vinyl, though: quality deteriorates with use; easily damaged even when stored; no metadata; no controls; fiddly hardware. So whenever I read a “vinyl returns” article I dream of a new HD physical media format that’s backward compatible with it. An LP-sized optical disk with the grooves on a clear laminate layer, perhaps. Or maybe a vinyl with a hidden flash storage layer within and exposed metal rings to read it with near the spindle. Or some kind of bad-ass sharpened metal disk played the old-fashioned way but at nyquist-busting RPM.
