College kids, or people whose kids are in college, or who have friends who are moving for one reason or another. That starts to describe a lot of people.

I’m sure the image has a lot to do with it, but what I’m trying to point out is that people buy more truck that they need because it’s a much better deal. You pay less, get better mpg, cheaper to insure, and you get more capability as a plus. So what if you might never use it, they are paying you to take it!

The last ridgeline got 15/21. Meanwhile the F150 gets 19/26. So you get a smaller truck with worse economy. Whats the point?

Will it ride better and handle better than a traditional pickup in a way that the average driver will notice? Because todays trucks ride and handle pretty well (for their size. The are a huge pain to park, in my opinion).

Really? You never helped a friend move from one apt to another, or had to do so yourself?

Sweet rocket ship bro!

Alright, suppose I am in the market for a pickup and I’m sold by your argument that I don’t need all the pickup the the F150/Silverado/Ram offers. How much money will the ridgeline save me? Far to often, the amount is far too close to zero. So why not buy a “real” full size truck?

I don’t know how you manage to forget this, but the average person needs a truck primarily to haul furniture.

Wikipedia has the stall speed at 126mph, and the c-130 115mph stall speed came from the manufacturer stating that it was “as low as 115mph” which leads to believe that it’s actually higher in most configurations.

I know what stall speed is, smartass. The ospreys is a touch over 125mph. A very cargo plany c-130 has a stall speed of 115mph. You’ll notice those are really close. If a c-130 can make an emergency landing with not power, the osprey has a decent chance of accomplishing the same feat.

That doesn’t pass the mustard test. Or the ketchup and horseradish test. Clearly, the osprey can fly with the rotors tilted forward. When the rotors are tilted forward, they do not provide any lift. Therefor, something else has to provide lift. I suppose it doesn’t have to be the wings, but some magical device is…

Roflmao. Been doing the same here!

Do you happen to know what it was made out of?

If that was the case, it couldn’t fly with the engines tilted forward. Something has to generate lift.

Unless you are using an extrenally powered supercharger, like a 2 stroke diesel, what’s to keep the exhaust from coming out of the intake port?

After ingesting an unmentionable ammount of drugs, I got an idea to make torches idea even crazier:

Just wish it would have had a story worth following.

Loosing party pays both parties legal bills

It’s not a very good search and rescue tool. But it could be a good rescue tool.

d’oh forgot where the engine sits
