"It could have attacked! It's like it was in the 'attack mode!'" Said resident neighborhood genius and military expert John Pasquinelli. "I go 'my god!' is this some cartel?"

Something tells me that throwback headlights aren't the only vintage technology sealed in the automotive time capsule that is the GM full-sized van. 4.3L V6? Check, Solid rear axle? Check.

The thing is like the Pepperidge Farm's of automotive tech.

I don't think I've ever seen a joke from Toyota before. It's a company I just don't think of as having a sense of humor. This thing is hilariously awesome, though!

Gotta get your feet wet somehow. Better a dump truck than a school bus full of kids.

It's a safe target, a relatively low-value, but also low-risk, target. I'm not sure when the last time was that the Canadian Air Force conducted airstrikes, but it seems better to start things off too conservative than too aggressive.

…

The rise of the guided-unitary rocket makes them dangerous against point targets, as well.

Scariest in action, or just sitting still? Technically it was never operational, but the T28/95 concept tank designed for taking out bunkers and pillboxes along the Siegfried line looks kind of scary.

That car is incredible, but so is the track! Remarkably technical with the opportunity to really wind the car out down the straights? A lot of unique sections for such a small facility. Those elevation changes are sweet, too. I'd kind of like to see some more action at Mas du Clos.

I'm willing to bet this is exactly why di Montezemolo bounced.

The Angles were polytheists, not Christians. Christianity came into England with the Romans and kind of stayed with the locals after their withdrawal. The Angles brought the something similar to the Norse pantheon during the invasion, not Jesus. (Although they were eventually largely converted by Celtic and Roman…

SLUF acronym notwithstanding, I always thought the A-7 was kind of pretty, especially in that forest camo.

Did anyone else read that as the "Mewling Hellcat" ? Somehow I feel like branding didn't help that thing onto the production line...

They actually did the same things the Soviets did here with paint. They'd take old helicopters and doctor them up with fake canopies and wing stubs to look like Hinds. Rambo used old Pumas, the US Army used old S-55s.

Didn't almost the same thing happen with Maria de Villota crashing into the back of a support truck? Then there was Juan Montoya into the back of a jet-dryer. What is it with F1 pilots (past, present, and future) with driving into the back of other vehicles?

It's a great way to murder a buzz-generating machine. Just look at the Ford Thunderbird.

I'm kind of digging the Generalissimo Lee up there. Nice!

Sliding across the hood seems like it'd be a great way to hurt yourself, though...

LaFerrarivan? I'm pretty sure Renault already did them one better... :)

I feel that schools that require helmets are always better. I'm tempted to start wearing random protective headgear to my Mass Comm Theory class now, just to see if it makes things more exciting.

BTW, at 4:50, the first pilot to hold up his assignment sheet, for a fraction of a second you can definitely see that he/she…

"Hey, David Cameron, smell my finger."

Looked like a good run, although he was definitely lucky not to take those rounds in the teeth. I can't find any confirmation in Soviet doctrine, but it seems like the MiG-21 would make a decent active SEAD platform.

Super ironic that the first flight was a Eurofighter flanked by two MiG-29s... I mean, I know that a lot of former Soviet bloc nations have since joined NATO, but are we really trying to intimidate Russia by showing them their own planes?
