The original cold weather test facility was in Ladd Field in Fairbanks, Alaska but they found testing to be difficult due to the unpredictable weather. Plus Eglin AFB is also home of the 96th Test Wing.

You are assuming they only use it for cold weather testing, but it is also used for hot weather testing.

That’s because the gubermint would have to develop a set of requirements for snow tires which would take at least a year or 5. Then put out a solicitation for companies to bid on, another year. Then go through all the bids and select two for the final contest, another year. A year or two to run the contest. Then…

There’s always the one critical step that one guy deviated from the drawings and documentation that wasn’t properly documented. Years later, you’ll have a bunch of engineers scratching their head wonder how the f$*k that guy installed the part.

What if you are not in a county that requires smog test?

But how would they know? Lots of people have illegally modified cars in California and have not been caught.

If they want entertainment, run short 20 minute races, then reverse the order.

I don’t find calling our troops baby killers in anyway supportive of our troops.

I got to watch the Super Hornets launch in 2006. Quite the sight. I recall they also had an amphibious assault ship deploy Osprey and LCAC’s. Red Bull Air Race was that year also. Of course there was the libtard war protesters.

I did a 150 mile commute for 2 years. It was an enjoyable drive into the mountains where the office was located. When I got a new car 6 months in, I did the 30,000 mile service in 8 months and was just shy of 50,000 miles in the first year. Then my commute got cut in half, the same car now has 265,000 miles in 10…

The H2 driver would have been even with the front wheel of Gordon’s truck. None the less, you look at a fix reference point and let the passenger tell you what to do. You don’t look at what the passenger is doing.

The problem was Robby shouldn’t be the one moving over to get closer when he is sitting 4 feet from the side of the car. He should have just drove straight in his lane while the guy in the H2 got closer.

Only tree huggers would drive 1700 miles, burn 37 gallons of diesel in a polluting car as a sign of protest against pollution.

California Penal Code 632 appears to only cover recording of audio conversation, not video.

Here’s another bombshell, the show isn’t factual.

Remember, her primary job is a taxi driver. So driving and talking is an everyday routine for her.

The only reason Subaru is even around is because AWD. Back in the late 80's/early 90's, the FWD Legacy was losing out to the Accord and Camry. They made the decision to go AWD only throughout their product line to distance themselves from Honda and Toyota.

It’s interesting the Russians duct the exhaust downward, whereas we duct it upwards into the rotorwash to reduce the IR signature.

PT6 in the turboshaft version for a helicopter such as the AW139 is a bit of a mess. The exhaust is routed down the center of the fuselage and exits aft of the inlet. You have to do this to prevent ingestion of the exhaust. The major downside is the heat retention in the exhaust causing a lot of cracking in the…

I remember watching one year where they had a river crossing, one of the motorcycle went into a huge hole in the river and hydrolocked his engine. He did his best to fix the problem, but couldn’t. While waiting for his support vehicle, he waved at people to avoid his line into the hole. Most were able but one of the…
