So i was having a discussion with adam, and this is what i decided needs to happen.
Automobiles will be put together with 2 size bolts throughout. They will not have sizes, instead they will be called "Big" and "Small". You own 2 wrenches, congrats, you can swap a motor.
If anyone can tell me why the fuck in a jeep there are 10mm and 11mm bolts present, they win a cookie, and im all the fuck out of cookies.
Is the 11mm really that much more structurally sound than a 10mm? Or is the 11mm really that hard to make work instead of a 10?
A one millimeter difference in hardware size. One. wtf people?!?!

They do things like this to make us ask these questions. Why are there metric and stardard bolts? Why do we even use standard? Who'd want to do fractions when decimals are so much easier. Oh gee, i need the next size up from 13mm what could it be. Oh duh 14 mm.

I dont understand why the valve cover bolts are 11mm. Why cant they be 10 or 12?
