My elementary school principal had an MG-B with the big black bumpers. When he felt he needed to reward or motivate student, he'd take them out in it to turf the soccer field. God, I miss the 80s.

The guy who rear ended me most recently was talking on his cellphone and lighting a cigarette while making a left turn through a tricky intersection.

I don't know. I got rear ended once and jumped out to yell at the guy. All I could manage was to call him a "fuckhut." Adrenaline is a helluva drug.

They tried that once. It didn't work.

Or inertia.

Good lord. I was going to ask what happened to it, then I saw the Quebec plate.

Send me you keys and I'll convert them for $500 a piece.

There's a small company outside Philadelphia that was working on a proof of concept aircraft along these lines about a decade ago. I wonder what ever happened with that project?

I drove from Allentown to Philadelphia leaving at midnight on Sunday in the worst of the weather Pennsylvania saw. I was driving an AWD Subaru Legacy with all season tires.

I'll jump right in and take a stab at explaining anything to do with fixed-wing aerodynamics, but I'm mystified at what control inputs get these maneuvers out of a helicopter, particularly a stonking big one like that.

This guy looks like he's had an engine failure.

Thanks for the advice. If I were a single guy with a couple of cars and a garage to work in, I might think about it. But my days of wrenching on cars are on hiatus until I have time for a hobby and the luxury of a vehicle being out of service for more than a day. The car in question is my wife's commuter and it's…

Since you sound knowledgable on Subaru repair, I want to ask whether you can recommend a source of advice on a routine maintenance item on which different shops are giving me wildly different quotes. In short, I need a t belt on an '11 Legacy and the prices range from $370 to $1,100 with varying opinions on what…

Careful. They become fragile with age.

it's unlikely list there is a mug shot, since it appears she was not held on bail. Mugshots in Pennsylvania are usually taken only as part of the prison processing system. Since she was only charged with misdemeanors, she probably wasn't held longer than it took for her to have her first appearance before judge.

It's solid VFR, but it looks like a front is moving in as everything gets hairy and they release.

When I took a few soaring lessons at a local club, the instructor explained that the reason for the lower accident rate among glider pilots was that they tend to fly only in excellent weather unless they have lots of experience.

It's really about the most fun you can have with your pants on. Especially the part where he's burning off his altitude to land. It's the closest you can come to flying a jet fighter without joining the Air Force.

it looks like an Antonov AN2, which is really sort of a small airliner or large bush plane. Think of a massively scaled up Stearman with his seats for 12.
