For number 2: What year is that render from? If you look at the Honda HSV that races in the JGTC (Japnese Super GT series), the render looks pretty accurate considering the HSV was supposed to be the NSX's successor. Just not the NSX hybrid concept that was introduced last year.
Besides the Prowler and that Murano abortion, every one of these cars is bad ass (Even the Robin for it's heritage as Mr. Bean's nemesis). Not everyone needs or wants a practical car. I drive a '52 chevy with 150 horsepower, a 2-speed transmission that allows for a top speed of around 65, a straight-pipe exhaust…
The UAE... The only place you will see a 1000+hp Nissan Patrol breaking off a Murcielago.
Just because it is a visual approach does not mean pilot error. That's a pretty incredible leap of logic, and crashes like this usually include multiple items going awry not just a simple "pilot error due to visual approach" statement.
As a pilot, this infuriates me.
The insurance company might drop him, but comprehensive coverage is called that for a reason... because it is comprehensive. They'll replace the car. That is the reason people buy insurance (beyond legally mandated liability coverage). It's the company's job to price the policy correctly considering factors such as…
Another cool video of aerodynamics at work. Check out how long the wingtip vorticies persist after the C5 passes.
Still can't believe I happened upon a virtually new 959 at a local shop last year:
"Generally considered [a] death trap" by whom? No one I know. The 737 line is the single best-selling commercial aircraft in history, in the entire world. It's a workhorse, and by passenger miles, it's also actually one of the safest. There's a reason it's sold so well... and I'll give you a hint: airlines don't buy…
Yeah I recognized the Bugatti blue shade, just had never seen a solid Veyron. Nice that you could see one in the flesh, despite a general apathy about them, I would love to see one on the road. Best Ive ever seen in the flesh was a Ferrari Testarossa.
The only one I ever saw in the flesh was blue on blue like the one at the bottom of the page, in Amsterdam. That color works amazingly well on that car and sort of pays homage to Bugatti history.
737's don't have inflatable slides over the wings, only at the 4 doors at the front and the rear.
Some additional information for those wanting to speculate:
Seems like as good a time as any to use the inflatable emergency egress ramps, no?
Planelopnik.. you must be new here
Forced induction helps reduce the oxygen starvation seen at higher altitudes, so power may go down a bit but not as much as on an NA car. Dennis Palatov's blog talks about it a bit if you'd like a read.
Elevation - in simple terms: an engine needs air and fuel to make power, at 14,110 feet above sea level there is a lot less air and naturally aspirated engines suffer significant power loss. A forced induction engine compresses the air, so even if the air is thinner a turbo can compress that air and not loose…
Ah, Cobra 11, loved that as a kid! I mean just look at the intro, they destroy a bridge for pete's sake!
