I had the pleasure of seeing this in person. We saw it driving in Monterey and eventually found it again. Very cool.

They've sold just enough t-shirt to get on LegalZoom...

That's cool, at least we can buy Slingshots in my conservative stronghold of Wisconsin.

No saddle? GO FUCK YOURSELF!

It's 2.0l and it still made as much hp than the 5th gen mustang 5.0 v8

I can't find an old post where I explained this. Basically it is not as stealthy as a block flying wing, but it has good cruise economics and wing loading etc.

We need a Red Flag type exercise where fourth and fifth gen aircraft go up against an enemy that consists entirely of UCAVs.

The only way it could look more legitimately like a stock Camry, when "closed up", is with an outdated political bumper sticker and a dent in one corner of the rear bumper.

I don't know if it's how you meant it, but I totally read that in tune with this:

Yeah, I'm almost never one to say too soon, but that qualifies.

Not a rocket, that's a turbojet engine. A rocket's thrust is not controllable, but a turbine has a power lever. At any rate, it's batshit insane. I like it.

When I bought my 944, the previous owner had the timing belt go on him and it bent the valves. So he redid the entire motor. Pistons, rings, gaskets, head, etc. And he did the clutch while he was at it. It's only gone 5k miles since he did that. So I'm lucky I haven't had to do anything yet.

Regarding the rental-spec street version:

How did I survive my childhood without all this PPE? In a communist country nonetheless.

I hear they already shut half its water off.

It probably is a retired police car.

No, its not an annoying side effect, it is done on purpose. You have to choose to roll coal, it doesn't just happen. You tune the truck to make it happen, stock diesel passenger trucks do not just go shooting out clouds of black smoke anymore, and they have not for some time. If you do not turn up the injection and…

Rolling coal... The worst thing since stainless steel ball sacks for your trailer hitch.

The Blue Angels and Thunder Chickens are military sponsored demonstration teams that doen't participate in any sort of series. As a child of the NAS Pensacola area, and a former member of the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB I can confirm that neither make a profit from their appearances.

However, they are a great recruiting…
