Hey, how come you guys don’t have a big post about the one YOUR guy crashed this weekend? :-D

My mongoose is continuously variable.

Oh Lord, yes! How is it that anyone is brave enough to go into that business?

I don’t know why any company would want to be in the business of making safety devices like air bags or seatbelts. I’m not saying Takata isn’t negligent, but even if you do everything right, the liability tail is so enormous and unending that you can’t possibly charge enough for your product to make it worth the risk.…

Gibson has a long, sorted history in production design and art direction

It’s almost cartoonish, the way the management is trying to extract every last dollar from this facility, to the point of doing stuff like this because who cares if anyone complains? It’s not like they’re coming back...

They didn’t just ignore it - they actively rejected it! This is why you record law enforcement, all the time, no matter what they are doing, no exceptions.

“With the Jetfire, Oldsmobile stuck a Garrett turbo on their V8 which gave it exceptional performance. The problem was cooling. Olds devised a solution called Turbo Rocket Fluid (!!!) which was a mixture of water and methanol to cool the turbo.”

“How about we wait for her to have a meltdown and then she is crying and tries to scratch — and then you’ll want to help her.”

Great read! Keep up the good work. The only constructive criticism I have is that it would be nice if it was made clear earlier in the article that the B/D models are two-seaters, typically used for training.

Left-handed drill bits are a much, much better option than extractors.

Proofread, Jason. Proofread.

You are the hero Jalopnik needs, not the one they deserve...

He has a GoPro on the fender! Orlove, FIND US THAT VIDEO, YOU LAZY PUNK!

Fun fact: A modified passenger-carrying belly pod was proposed at one point

The proposed concepts specified heat exchangers in place of the combustion chambers in a typical jet engine. Reactor heats working fluid (probably sodium, for efficiency and temperature reasons), working fluid goes to the “jet engines” and heats the air, lather, rinse, repeat.

I’m the Emperor of Ice Cream and have been for more than three centuries, and you’re still a huge idiot.

You have humbled me with your logic. I had never considered this!

Well, you can’t control what some other person does. But you can do the right thing yourself in a bad situation and not make it far, far worse.

Yes, those are the vapors OUTSIDE the tank and exposed to ambient air, which will burn fitfully and probably go out by themselves in a moment. The flame won’t make its way INTO the tank, past the evap flap and all the rest, even if there was a burnable fuel/air mixture in there anyway.
