I Hate Metric

Try working on a Jeep from the last 20 years... they're a mix of Metric and Imperial (hex and Torx!) as well. What fun that must have been for the guys/gals on the assembly line! :p

Whats Imperial, tools? Like 1/2"??


I remember buying Imperial Gas,
it was 5 USA quarts., what a bargain in 1974. :)

Now gas up in Canada is in liters, and is more money than in the USA. :(

How about bolts that are close, like
you can use a 14mm wrench on some 9/16th hex head,
some 17mm, for 11/16th, etc....... 11mm, for 7/16,
but 10mm needs its own.

Another thing annoying is the different threads,
Metric fine thread/coarse thread,
uss fine, vs coarse, and sometimes the fasteners are very close in size.

Ugh.

LOL then there is a 2 liter engine vs, my 2 liter Pepsi, :coffee2:
whats up with that? :scratch:

And my old snowmobile engine were rated in CC, like 700cc,
while it was 100+hp, it sure looked small.


Haha, almost anything is likely to confuse me.
So simple even a Caveman can do it. ;)
