Hallelujah!

Yeah, and god forbid you have to get out of your car quickly. If you don't forget to stop and let the little shoulder-dagger slide out of the way before exiting you get a nice big bruise for your trouble. Hooray!

YOU WILL PERISH IN FLAMES!

Ready to confuse all of your animals? This is a 2014 Mustang GT designed to look like a Thunderbird plane, which, of course, is actually a Falcon.

I almost didn't recognize Mr. Badass Salvage Yard Explainer Man with his shirt on.

I thought Pete Best was the fifth Beatle...?

More or less, yeah. It's stopped occasionally to let the mosquitoes top off.

I assume all Bobcats within the borders of the Motherland have had this or similar modifications.

"I'm gonna crash my slowmobile!"

Great article, and a great perspective. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the swap!

Hear, hear. This behavior should be encouraged heartily. Anyone dumb enough to emulate it is a back-of-the-pack weakling who deserves only a culling.

My favorite part is about 18 seconds in, when the instructor (left seat) says, "Lemme see the helicopter one second." *YOINK!* "I got all three." I like to imagine he flicked his cigarette out the side at that moment, too. Cool as a cucumber in a coal mine.

It's hard for this Yankee to tell with the accent, but it sounded to me like (after the sound cut out), the instructor sort of rhetorically asked the student, "Y'think I have permission to land?" As in, "what, is he going to tell me I can't land after he watched me pluck his P-51 model out of a tree?" So I figured he…

I was taught that ABS was more about maintaining directional control during a panic-stop rather than decreasing stopping distance (on dry pavement, at least - it seems obvious to me that in wet conditions ABS would decrease stopping distance).

This is precisely why I believe that all driving instruction should be performed on a Caterham.

I've always thought that it's fascinating to watch Grumman's designs evolve from the F2A to the F4F and then onto the Hellcat and Bearcat. You really can see how they learned what worked, and how they adapted new technology. The F8F is a stunning machine. Whenever a reporter would ask Neil Armstrong what was his…

Yup. Modern fighter planes have millions upon millions of lines of code in them.

Why would the right wing stall at low approach speed?

Yeah, I think I recall reading somewhere that it wasn't just the slip; the British pilots came up with the idea of actually flying a curved approach to the deck. Coming straight in the pilot couldn't see the deck over the engine, but with a long, left-hand turn on the approach the deck could be kept in sight as long…
