Nice vid!

Ninja cat.

Juan Brown did a good vid on the incident.

For some reason the second pic won’t load full size. Trying a smaller copy.

Alan Johnson and John Thomas brought a couple 1974 Porsche RSR’s to a Porsche club event Ontario Motor Speedway. I got a ride with John for a session.

My only concern is why the hell is it not already gone.

Yeah, I know. Been insufferable around here ever since Gawker got sued into oblivion. NPOCP oops... NPOND is the last safe space for folks with thick skin.

Interesting. Makes sense.

A few more crack smokers have joined the chat.

Next door neighbor had a TR3. You could pick a dime off the ground without lifting your butt off the seat.

Amateurs.

Where was all the outrage when LAPD dropped ten mil on a bunch of BMW EV’s?

Upon further review... I’m an idiot. FL100 is just about where they’re pressurized to. They aborted their climb right around there so the passengers didn’t experience anything different than a normal flight.

Anyone who has been on a flight that had a bird strike would figure it out pretty quick. The aroma of baked seagull wafting through the cabin is a dead giveaway.

I scuba dive. If folks aren’t actively equalizing on the way up (or if their head is stuffed up)they would quickly get to the point where it is impossible to equalize. It is much more difficult to clear ears when the outside pressure is dropping. Basically relying on the flexibility/tension of the ear drum to push air…

I bought a ‘72 back in ‘77. It had the same motor as my race boat so I was very familiar with it. Ford had a recall going to install a “fix” for the fire issue. I had them send me the part and I installed it.

They’d quickly put the fire out first, then wheel it out.

Plane are not air tight like a balloon. Without the cabin pressurization bleed off the engines (or if someone left a window open), cabin pressure is going to drop as the plane climbs.

That was just a dodge to get us all to go read yesterday’s NPOCP again, and see if Rob mentioned taking the day off.
