I post over at Oppo. I posted a few times on this concept: the turbo Offenhauser and the Novi indy engines. Those are works of art. However we can't ignore any giant stack of Hillborn fuel injection topping a 490 cubic inch Aluminum Big Block in a McLaren Can-Am car.

Something important to remember is how close the the early early days sof aviation we still are when comparing the beginnings of space flight.Civilian industry doing space flight is just like the Wrights and Mr. Curtiss and Mr. Whittle starting up their own airplane business. We are in the WW1 phase of flight in…

the lineage hasn't sold well. The legacy (145) is a perfect Swiss Army knife and has stretch out biz jet room but isn't the best in any one thing. Just real overall good. The lineage doesn't have gulf stream range or speed. Shoot, I can tell you the effect of flying from .74 to .80 Mach is about 30% more fuel…

Where the moller aircar fall on the list?

Dodge Stealth. Of course! It's named the Stealth.

another big factor is the ownership rules of the FCC. Used to be a limit of 100 stationary any company could own. That got released to 1000 right away when Bush jr. Took office. Now its killing local radio and making a system of national radio repeaters. No local DJs. Local newsman are also vanishing. I stream music…

I Wouldn't go as far as calling it Failed, but budgets and then implementation of it were all concerns. The Caspain Sea Monster will always be effing cool for what it could do. For example it took off at nearly 1.2 million pounds, into the air. World record material. Not very far into the air, but it lifted it off the…

Have to be a state resident to buy it in Colorado....from an approved source that is.

What about a production version of their LeMans v-4 drivetrain? It's not entirely flat but it's a very wide vee so it's close. I'm sure the note sounds close but definitely not subaru or cessna-ish.

I fully agree with the Mazda 3. I have an '08. I drive it 50 miles one way on the Interstate at 80mph to work and the not interstate back home the other 50 miles to avoid further tolls. It feels wonderful doing 80 and the other roads are just a real fun time. Add a Cold air intake kit and you have some nice sounds…

Everyone knows of the W8 vector. The front end, the design of the glass fittment, the windshield wipers-look at them! Especially the body crease of the side I could never get over those parts. the only downside visually is the read deck but honestly, such a monumental, and mental, design I so badly wanted to see…

Hooray! (says nobody)

Dad had an '83 chevy celebrity eurosport. Threw a rod at 96k miles. I had an '01 focus, fuel system started crapping at 105k. Had a '79 Volvo 242, fuel system started crapping at 120k-strung along until 145k and then i couldn't afford to fix. I want to believe, truly like Automotive-Agent Mulder I do, but luck is…

I hope someone mentioned the 80's Audi 5 cylinder quattro, that whole long 5 cylinder thing was mounted out there, so much so the radiator was moved to the side.

I wonder how many of these they would have needed to fight those fires. Honestly, the unit cost to produce vs. actual numbers needed would make the production possibly not worth it.

(next article) Response: "Modern F1 cars think Niki Lauda is bullshit." Now, I'm all for big power big wing corner exit power sliding and noise like the next meat eater, but Greg Moore and Bobby Allison and the final year of Group B kind of showed everyone that big power will indeed separate men from boys, but it is…

Next article for you. Convincing the wife to accept that she is indeed a full on Soccer mom and how to convince her to buy the Van. Skinny stretch pants wont make a very large person not look very large. In fact, the big A-hole SUV with the bejewled cell phone starbucks mom helping the kids down for the back seats…

*sigh*...I've got to quit procrastinating the floor replacement on my '78. He's right. 0-60 and power and 'ring time' means nothing. It's how fun the car is and that car feels like it's doing a thousand miles per hour everywhere you go-and it's really doing 40.

Recline your seat slowly. don't slam it back. it can actually hurt some peoples knees if they're not seeing it coming. with that said, the person on front PAID for that seat and everything that comes with it. that includes the ability to recline....just like your seat. Unless you are going to compensate someone for…
