@Xander Crews: ...and sprinklers. If you need to *make* it exciting, you might as well go all the way.

Typical corporate mentality and lack of foresight. To be successful at racing you need a driver, a car, and money. Red Bull had the money and the car but they kept going with B-rate drivers. Now they have Kasey Kahne and in 15 races not only started 15 races but got 5 top tens and 2 top fives. And it's a new team…

@Turbineguy - Minister of Awesome: Speaking of "disposing" of bad beer, My wife used to work for a trucking company that hauled beer. Every so often one of their trucks would get in an accident and if the load was compromised in any way the entire load would be written off. They would tell the Police department…

@Turbineguy - Minister of Awesome: Needs less turbo and more tubine:

@LordFTGDofLondon: Today I had a lady say to me "that was quick!" Of course, we were talking about me repairing a machine, but it still hurt :(

When I read 'heavy machinery' and 'adult toys' the first thing to come to mind was the jail scene in "Top Secret."

Can't we all just....get along?

@pauljones: Some mindless, yet somewhat related trivia...when they were first recruiting pilots for the F-117 program they certainly couldn't tell them what they would *really* be doing because it was secret. Instead they put out a call for volunteers to test a new advanced avionics package for the A-4 Skyhawk. So,…

@Orange Exige (formerly the illustrious crd22): If you're seeing a kitty avatar, I put it up when my kitty died 3 months ago. I've changed it several times but Jalopno5.0 is wonky. I haven't been able to change it reliably for months :(

@Streets_Ahead: One thing that impressed me about Range Rover, in their "Accessories" catalog along with the dog fence and the shotgun boxes they also sold touch-up paint.

@Shamoononon: I'd hit that.

While it has no muffler it does have an exhaust collector ring which does mitigate the sound to a nice, pleasing roar.

@the_punnisher: I was at an air show where a P-51 did a flyby at speed. My ears were ringing, my head was throbbing. Most everybody else had covered their ears. I consider myself one of the lucky ones who didn't.

And you thought the "maintenance agreement" on the Frozen Gray M3 was ridiculous...
