This kind of voodoo math would be typically corrected by an editor before an article is published.

Vents still look like a puckered anus 👎

You can’t just claim that without a source

This is a really nice tribute. Thank you for sharing your interactions and memories.

My favorite Dan Gurney story:

The man was an absolute legend. Anything that could be done in motorsports he did. I don’t have many heros but Dan was one.

Dan Gurney is one of the select few drivers who excelled in nearly everything he drove. F1? No title but he won races. NASCAR? He has 5 victories in 16 starts. IndyCar? 7 wins in 28 starts. LeMans? 1967 Winner. Daytona? Won the first endurance race there in 1962. Other than Foyt and Mario, I can’t think of anyone as…

That is Carrol Shelby it Dan.

Take a peek at the adjunct small side overlap test. Alfa Romeo’s developed one hell of a firewall/a-pillar/door post structure, actually crushed the front wheel between the barrier and the door hinge structure. Maybe the wheels are light/”flimsy”, but seeing one crushed to pieces by an unyielding door frame is…

This happens in my FJ more than I’d like to admit. The thick vertical A-pillar blocks pedestrians approaching the crosswalk in some situations. Luckily it isn’t a stealthy vehicle, but I’ve got in the habit of moving my head around to check my blind spot when I come to an intersection

He was a thrill seeker.

These things are a scream. The trouble is finding one these days. Time wasn’t kind to them. They were cheap enough to be thrashed, rare enough that there weren’t many to begin with, and old enough that time and neglect have chewed up a bunch of them.

My uncle spent two weeks in the North Atlantic in a lifeboat after his ship was sunk by a U-Boat in WWII. His Parents got a telegram, Your son is missing and presumed dead. He died about 10 years ago.

We have friends who LOVE to take cruises. I don’t like gambling, over-priced booze, or Legionnaires’ Disease enough to bother.

1st: I never thought I’d see the price of GM cobalts go up.

Just looked it up and I have to say it’s the first airport I’ve seen that could be easily mistaken for a Kroeger!

So did everybody have to exit on the stair truck and walk across the cold tarmac because they didn’t have an airbridge for it, or was that just getting access to arrival paperwork before arriving at the terminal?

Piston slap. Classic cold weather behavior!
