No, you’re not far off. The company I work for did something similar, to prevent bad press, and then pressed the advantage into a nice little tax deductible gesture while they were at it. A commercial grade park bench is around 750 bucks, a cast bronze plaque is around 200 bucks for a fairly large one, and it might…

Well, in mid 90s ford vans and pickups with 5.8, 5.0, and 4.9L engines and the digital LCD odometer, the Odometer will go to 299999, then reset to 200000.

With ‘preproduction’ licensed technology from an ODM on their development platform and firmware with 0 integration work done or modifications for safety and compliance.

Yeah, I was thinking those test-drive numbers are pretty low. With Oregon’s relatively low speed limits, I routinely do over 50 MPG in my Fiesta 1.0. Even in California, where my average speed is 75 (and plenty of higher speed bursts when passing) I’ll still average 46.

Not really a secret. At the time, Lamborghini was owned by Chrysler, and they had experience casting an aluminum engine. The early prototype was made in lamborghinis’ facilities before Chrysler had their own up and running. Lamborghini did a lot of design work on the motor too to make it more compatible with…

Other than being V10 and around 8 liters each, the truck and viper engine share no other characteristics, or parts. The truck v10 is iron, the viper v10 is aluminum. Pistons, cam, crank, intake, conrods, heads,, injectors, and ECU have no interchangeability in any way. They are both descendants of the LA engine,…

Maybe a link to the recall? Or the dates for actual information content for readers?

They most likely took the water. It was the 60's, they didn’t leave radioactive stuff laying around, and the reason they left the site was the moving/growing ice crushing the facility. But the containment for the coolant might have been left behind...

If there is any waste there, it would be low level, and is probably quite contained. I suspect it will be more components and equipment that is contaminated, rather than large quantities of material. Nuclear weapons don’t exactly ‘leak’ a lot. Plus the ice would have added more containment on top of that.

It’s got no radioactive materials onboard, there are no yellow trefoils on the hazard placards. Since most of them are blank, I’m guessing the truck is empty, other than the generic ‘dangerous’ placard on display.

I was just using Space-X as an example, since that seems to be the commonly discussed other company. ATK and ULA also both compete in the COTS space launch arena, and arguably have better track records than SpaceX.

They don’t publish too much info about anything, though.

“And its weight is so low that Blue Origin doesn’t want to publically disclose it”

Respectfully, it’s coming from a company that has never launched a rocket into orbit. They, in fact, haven’t even come CLOSE.

Since Jalopnik now has proper media-connected overlords (Univision.. who owns stuff like the onion, among others), they most likely must have RIGHTS for every stock image they use that are properly documented. This would include releases from models, etc. Since Univision sort of got stomped by a few of the major…

Problem.
