The suspension travel and damping setup over the major bumps and dips is impressive.

So drag comes before my happiness!?! I wasn't advocating for more aisles on smaller planes, just that I prefer to fly larger aircraft sometimes. Perhaps I should have put my comment in context: You know when you land at a large airport, gates for the big planes tend to be together, and further down there are the…

I take it you don't celebrate International Homonym Day. It was last Friday. At 11:23PM ET.

As a child I looked forward to the various types of aircraft I would fly throughout my lifetime. When I'm 80, I hope that aviation will have moved beyond the 737, and A320. Single isle planes are depressing.

Mens' arms do not photograph well, no matter how nice the watch.

I gave you your first of many stars.

Agreed with everything you said about the Torsen. Just for clarification, the Torsen is a differential, whereas the viscous coupling in the R8 is a power takeoff (which is very different than a differential with a limited slip viscous coupling) that transfers more power the more slip there is at the rear wheels. While…

The one-wheel-off-the-ground "problem" with the Torsen is actually a feature that is designed to identify the amateurs from the professionals.

I would argue that its VC AWD system is ideal for this kind of car; it's progressive, predictable, and is relatively light. Electronically controlled clutches and other fancy mechanisms can create more problems than they solve. That's just my opinion. I also believe that all the world's problems can be solved with a…

He has a duty to the truth.

It takes a big man to admit when he is wrong. I am not a big man.

Does nobody see that this is not a genuine P-51? It's a 3/4 (+/-) replica.

It'll be "luxurient"? Lush and green like a tropical rainforest? I was expecting "luxurious" but either will distinguish the brand.

It's an impressive installation given that they had to cut into the pressure hull of the plane (not shown in the video lest people freak out about safety).

If my taxi in Cairo a few years ago didn't smell in 36C heat with no A/C, then no taxi should ever smell.

Please god, make this smell test mandatory. I am flying into San Diego in December.

Shaped charges do not eject molten copper, just copper. The temperature of the copper has been measured to be only 900C or so. The impact sites look melted, but they are not.

My older work colleague once took his Chrysler minivan to the dealer for an oil change. When he got the vehicle back he saw that they did not change the filter. He had put an identifying mark on the filter which enabled him to uncover the dealership's trickery.

WTF is that girl doing to that car?
