Cars using transverse leaf springs in their suspension are not to be confused with older cars and trucks that use solid rear axle/leaf spring combinations.
The system is used in some high performance sports cars. Instead of using 4 coil springs, the cars use two single ply (instead of the multiple plys used in trucks/cars with live axles) leaf springs mounted transversely. Using a single ply makes them immune from the friction problems seen in multiple ply systems and also makes them very light (a single transverse leaf spring weighs 1/3 of the weight of the coil springs that could have been used). These cars often use double wishbone or multilink suspensions, just like any other sports car, just not paired with coil springs over the dampers.
Transverse leaf springs have the benefits of being very lightweight, moving more of the cars weight towards the ground, easily adjustable, and rarely (if ever) needing replacement.
They have the disadvantages of being more expensive than coil springs, and since the springs are often made of a lightweight composite material, they are sensitive to damage from harsh chemicals.
Modern Corvettes use transverse leaf springs paired with double wishbone supension on all four corners.
F1 used transverse leaf springs until they switched to the use of torsion springs.

A phrase to describe a mood or emotional condition that is partially lucky and partially unlucky. The name comes from the fact that four-leaf clovers are often associated with luck.
It was a two-leaf clover kind of day for my sports teams -- the Flyers won but the Phillies lost.

Type of cocaine made specifically by adding Altoid paste on the Coca leaves as they are processed during the making of the cocaine. The altoid paste is made from using an Aloe leaf to cut the altoid particles into fine dust. (Giving it the name leaf blade). This releases some of the Aloe particles into the dust.
Wassup mang, i got some of that Leaf Blade Moonshine shit, you want a bag?
To place a condom on your partner's dick before taking it up your ass
Person 1: I didn't put in a bay leaf.
Person 2: Wow, you're really living on the edge here. Be careful.
On St. Patrick's Day four guys cover their erections in green frosting and place them on a fifth party's face, the "Four Leaf Blowver" is the process in which the fifth party member sucks the frosting off each erection. When all the frosting is sucked off of the erections the "Four Leaf Blowver" is complete.
Person A: Who do you think performed a better Four Leaf Blowver last St. Patrick's Day, Dave or Stephanie?
Person B: I hate to say it but I think it was Dave who performed the better Four Leaf Blowver!
This year's Four Leaf Blowver was amazing! Our cocks were green, our semen was white, and Carrie's hair was orange; her head looked like the Irish Flag.
Mindless insights that come when you are cutting the grass, weeding or walking outside.
Hey! Great thought ! Another one of your leaf blowing ruminations?
