What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Dunno, I'm not much of a gearhead. If I had to guess, I'd say it stiffens the frame in a unibody-type vehicle.McAvoy wrote:So it prevents the frame from warping during high torque or something?
