I hate to go off topic, but every post I see about VAGer I never pronounce it vagger, I pronounce it vajer (á la vagina, or the slang, vaj) and it makes me life.

interesting read. Having no background in engineering, it's always a trip for me to try to understand how people manage to create a car that is able to not only function but maintain extended reliability.

Grambles - thanks for the informative post - it's refreshing to see something intelligent. I don't know about you but I'm a little weary of posts that go like this - "Doood, ny DP f'ed up my ZAZ and RFH now its LOL and shit." Eeesh.

Its tough sometimes, I know. My relatives call it "the vaj."

Care to elaborate? Just dimensional tolerancing in general?

Trust me it extends WAY beyond this, but this is a good start. Having to make a "foolproof" system to where ANYONE can install it is tough, but using fixtures we can accommodate various percentiles of human build. Honda loves to focus on ergonomics more so than the steps to make it. Mercedes was more concerned with the car than the individual. Differences in culture I guess?

I face palm sometimes looking at designs from R&D and ever wonder if they have even seen an automotive plant.

I totally 100% 10/10 absolutely-positively-without a doubt-kick me in the face agree.

Great article. Even though I don't understand the auto industry jargon, I guessed where you were going with "tolerance stack". I'm a Mechanical Engr. by education, but I don't work strictly in the ME field.

Anyhow, very informative.



As and aside, do you know why it takes the opening logo/banner/picture to load at the vager.org site? It used to load OK, but now it just fails to load.

I'm not sure. Bender is in charge of site functions and I cant find the origination of the picture. I'll check into it.

interesting. i'm half way through school (while serving in the Air Force) to get my electrical engineering degree... reads like this infatuate me.

thanks.

Good article, however it could use a good copy edit. Sometimes a couple spelling errors can take a lot away from the reader's experience with the piece. Especially if it influences the perceived credibility of the source.

For instance, I bet you're more likely to believe that a set of instructions left out a step if it was poorly translated from Chinese than if the same instructions were presented in perfect English.

I am not saying that these spelling errors influence my perception of your expertise, but let's say you wanted to leverage this blog to show a potential new employer your skills.

Just food for thought! I thoroughly enjoyed the post :)
