Reply #117: Thank you for the common sense

It's not a small thing to switch systems entirely. There IS a high cost, in many small ways.

I have a science background, so can do the conversions from English to metric in my head, but it isn't second nature. Switching over a period of a few years to a system where even the simplest statement takes a hand calculator to figure out the "real" value doesn't make a good cost sense. My opinion is we're doing it the right way, gradually over a generation or so.

Even so, it is a little sad to see the old references go away - my kids will grow up thinking a 5.0L engine is awesome and give me a blank look if I refer to the 409 (cubic inch) big block...
