This happened to me on a truck I bought. Dealer said there was someone earlier, they had trouble with financing, and went to go get their own money together. Thought it was BS, but it was a deal so I bought anyway. Years later I’m at a stoplight or a gas station or something, and a guy pulls up next to me and says…

Torch, Thank you for this. I’ve worked with families of people injured and killed by industrial machinery, including loading equipment, and it is usually more gruesome than anything.

No, check out another shot of her. She’s definitely a bird.

Well, there was the ‘Spruce Moose’ which could supposedly carry 200 passengers, and was fast, too. It could go from New York’s Idyllwild Airport to the Belgian Congo in seventeen minutes!

I like the call on the FF. It’s a wagon, so you can fit an amp and some bass guitars in the back.

Is the plane called “Flora-Bama”? There is a beach on the Florida-Alabama line referred to as Flora-Bama that looks just like that. It would be funny (well, sad funny) if it sunk on its namesake beach.

I hope they can save her before she gets too beat up.

I’m actually interested in the TireRack deal, but it just takes me to the ebay deal page, and there isn’t a TR deal on there. Any updated link or is it gone?

Some of this depends on the vehicle you are driving. I nose in with a car, but I back into a spot when I’m in a truck. The front wheels of a truck are much closer to the nose than the rear wheels are to the bumper, meaning you can pull farther out of lane before hitting the stall bumper if you back in. Not only does…

Thanks! (Of course it is.) Don’t know why I was having such a problem ID’ing that.

Here’s another shot from Google Earth from back in 2012 if that helps:

Slightly off topic, but anyone know what this is under the tarp? Found this a while back while poking around on Google maps out at Palmdale. (Don’t judge how I want to spend my Saturday nights.) Hard to tell because of the plastic wrap, but I thought it looks kinda like a mix between a RQ-170 and something with a more…

Now I think they are just trolling us:

Could be, but probably not, since they guy with the camera had time to run up stairs and still get a shot of it hitting the ground. More likely, because everything forward of the inlets is missing, the gear came down due to lack of hydraulic pressure and damage to the aircraft.

“Weather was also an issue with high winds and cold temperatures, along with dense fog, being a regular issue at Vandenberg AFB.”

Yup.

I can’t tell if you are joking, trolling, or if you really missed that he changed the headline to suggest complete incompetence by Takata, not just related to recalls.

The pre-merger XM was awesome. Now it is all replay and DJ’s. Really bummed me out.
