The top pad on those stands is about 16 inches of high density foam. It's not intended to have the airframe dropped onto it, but it is intended to support the weight properly. You can be sure that airframe has been taken off of flight status until it can all be properly scoped.

In the hangar deck they have several "jacks" that are intended for use with these stands. The stands themselves are normally used for maintenance on the landing gear, not really for this situation - but it isn't really a stretch from their intended use. You'll find similar stands in most aircraft maintenance hangars…

looks like she is trying to push it into a lake to be rid of the evidence

Just found this.

It's not jealousy that makes people hate BMW drivers. It's the fact that the douchebag-to-goodguy ratio of owners has hit a critical level.

It won't because you can be sure that the Fire Dept will have the Police Dept issue a citation so the driver can pay for a new hose(s). They will not use it again as the glass might have weakened the hose. So the answer is no the insurance company will decline to cover the vehicle in this situation.

Women are frequent and easy targets for violence. Too many guys look the other way when men they know beat women. Campaigns like this are made to stop that.

You're dead wrong, on both what the 2005 had, and the entire notion that CVT=not into cars.

Fun to watch, but not an accurate depiction of the Outback wagon. It is a great car, and I wish I had bought one. The EJ 2.5 NA is not ferocious, but it's far from a donkey show. I had one as a rental for two week vacationing on the East Coast for Thanksgiving. We had three adults in the car plus our stuff when we…

The first step should really be "start reading Jalopnik".

So does this mean Internet Explorer was really okay after all this time?

No MR2 burnout crashing into v-dub meetup? It's a great one.

"use the "Best" oil. - False. Cheapie walmart oil works just as good as $23.00 a quart royal purple racing for your street car, how about actually changing your fluids like the tranny fluid, brake fluid, etc?

Umm...how about a great set of brake pads?

Hello. My name is Fred. I write about motor racing on Jalopnik all the time and have done live blogs for the three largest endurance races in the world (Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona) for them over the past seven months. I know a little bit about sports car racing.

Well, the power third rail isn't some extra-malicious being. It's going to find the nearest path to ground, which happens to be the rails themselves. Getting between the two would be bad news, as would touching the rail and reaching for the third.

In the real world, you can't drop a power line into water and turn an…

I'd rather go even older.

The frequency range of Bose does not come close to other "high end" manufactures. Not to mention they cost 3 times what the competition does.

It's almost as if there's something more to games than their graphics. What could that be?
