First I have ever learned of this, thank you for the simplified but successful explanation. I'm a helo fan, love watching them take off and land, but am also a bit scared of them. Something for me to consider.

Public school textbooks in history and science are works of fiction, and now they are trying the same with the new math in Common (Commie) Core.

Lumping one entire category of people together under the guise of intellect or lack thereof, is a sign of ignorance in itself. I have friends who are active Dems, Repubs and random other smaller parties, they are all individuals, each of varying degrees of thoughtfulness and intelligence. You may be living inside an…

So judging by how the carbon body shatters in the video rather than bending like metal would, is it safe to assume that any pedestrian who does meet the angry end of one of these will get diced like an onion in a infomercial for one of those choppers. Fiberglass tends to rip and break in uneven patterns but this thing…

At 00:55 it sounds exactly like a Pod Racer from Star Wars (Episode 1 sadly).

Click here to see it on Google Maps, next to a giant communist star on the left.

Exactly, plus the training would not accurately replicate a carrier landing since they tend to pitch and roll because of all those Pacific Rim fights going on fathoms beneath them, or waves, they can do that too.

AdBlocker Plus works wonders. It's just a free extension. I forgot how annoying it used to be seeing ads everywhere, but I don't see any on this page or most others now. If you use any type of forum, I'm on lots of automotive ones, it really speeds that shit up.

Here's a close up... they didn't exactly excel at glove box door gaps in this era.

The first vehicle I recall with matte finished wood was the "oiled wood" dash of the Holland and Holland edition Range Rover, the first one. It emulated the shotgun stock of H&H and the chrome was switched out for blued steel finishes. Unbelievably lovely.

I'd actually guess an AMG V12 or similar. Sounds like more than 8-cylinders to me when he revs near the end, listen between the throttle blips. Maybe there's a separate 4-cylinder running the A/C, it is the Middle East after all. (Last part is a joke, but I do believe it's a V12 or better.)

I have been told by many owners of newer Japanese cars that the price of repairs for them is much higher than it used to be owing to all the technology and options on new cars of every variety.

Reminds me of the fat cars some artist made, except this one doesn't look nearly as good as those... and they are horrifying.

He can relate:

Didn't this same thing happen with the 3rd Gen Impreza/WRX hatch? I seem to recall the WRX version originally only had a hood scoop to differentiate it from the standard Impreza (which we own presently and love), but after much complaining from the public they went in and added the various fender flares, aero bits,…

"Vezel"? Is this more of the same from manufacturers who like to repurpose whatever happens to be hot in the car world, ie: Sebastian Vettel?

Ahhh, a Subaru owner. :)

Excellent point I was coming to suggest, take "vignette" shots like the one you showed of some of the more notable cues of a specific make, or even some obscure design element that will truly be appreciated only by super fans of the model.

Is this the same road (the one he paved) that is featured in the opening credits of The Shining? I heard they used a stretch in Glacier National Park for those beautiful long helicopter shot. (I live near the Timberline Lodge here in Oregon, the hotel used for the exterior shots of the movie version, the "Overlook".)

Where do you live? I'm in Portland, OR and we have four that I see often as well. A black car, one in white and two red ones. I wonder if they are this common in other larger cities, Portland isn't even that big.
