"When all else fails, brute force prevails."

Usually what I tell myself immediately before beating the hell out of something in a way likely to irreparably damage it. Best used as option of last resort.

We always put this one as:

And another one that goes fits the rule of three model--

"Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a crayon, cut it with an ax."

HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit something....TORQUE is how far you drag it.

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of your car. OVERSTEER is when you hit it with the ass end.

From an old hot rodder: If you can't fix it, fix it so can't NOBODY fix it.

Never hot rod your daily driver.

Never run out of grip, real estate, and talent at the same time.

and of course : It was faster at the test and tune. Must be the altitude today.

Drive fast around a lightly-sanded corner with a passenger. If you panic, it's understeer. If he panics, it's oversteer.
