A *paraprosdokian* is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.

It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax . For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists -.

Examples are:-

• I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

• Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

• I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

• Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

• The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

• Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

• If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

• We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

• War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

• Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

• Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

• The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

• Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

• To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

• If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

• A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

• If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

• How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

• Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

• I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks.

• A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it.

• Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

• I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.

• I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

• Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but still have to touch when you say the paint is wet?

• Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

• Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

• Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman.

• A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

• You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

• The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

• Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

• Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

• Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

• I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

• Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Does anyone know who to speak to about getting stuff from Japan, which aren't car parts?

After some items from Yamaha, and the only contact I have atm is in the UK. No one from yamaha AU seems to want to help / nor care to get a part for me (been told its discontinued, which it isnt)....Id like to avoid going through the UK to buy something from Japan if its possible someone has contacts...

cheers. :thumbsup:

Which one did you get ben? I love my new 5puk ceramic. Make sure you get the nismo slave and braided line, your left leg will thank you. I opted for the nismo bracket also but the standard one can easily be strengthened even further

I don't need that. I didn't go for a ceramic clutch. I'm doing under 300kw so Organic was my choice

-D

whether a clutch is ceramic or organic has nothing to do with pedal pressure

Well naturally it depends on clamping pressure (which the NPC is marginally heavier), however I have no problem with the feel of the clutch at the moment - if anything its always been rather lightweight, so I'm not about to spend money on stuff that can be done later, with the box in the car. If it becomes an issure, I can replace it at a later date without much hassle. I just don't see the need for it before I know how the new clutch feels.

I'd rather spend my money getting my dual synchro, 15,000km r33 s2 box installed, converted from pull to push, nismo reinforced pivot bolt etc etc

-D

If you can get more enjoyment out of your without spending extra coin, youre on the right track i guess

Thats my general thought... you don't need to drop the cars guts to replace the slave or fit a braided line or the reinforced pedal bracket... After this I need o2 sensors and another tune so its all about priorities

-D

Guts? What guts? Coin? Chyeahhhh righteo won't be seeing much left of that :laugh:

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
