“HOA professional”

In other words, their HOAre.
Hehehe, master-planned community...

It’s not leaking oil. It’s sweating horsepower.

I feel for you, Autojim.

Ah yes, this is what I think about when I hear “HOA”. My dads buddy lived in a nice HOA neighborhood for a few years. He got a letter that said his bushes were covering his front windows and needed to be trimmed. I don’t have a picture, but there was less than one inch of the bottom of the window covered and the…

You are missing the important bit here. Did the community win the Village of the Year Award?

There is a good chance the dusting happened after the car left but the latent heat from either warming the car up or simply by the car being an insulating blanket of sorts caused no snow to accumulate in its shadow.

They SHOULD race on the same track, but each with their own podiums.

I did guess this in the post: “Is that grid-thing used for some kind of aero drag tests? Perhaps the grid’s squares can be sealed with panels to increase drag as needed?”

Worked for a company for about 4 years that did testing on mules similar to these in Colorado. Our trailers were identical to this, but with the addition of thick plexiglass on the ‘grid’. The purpose as I was told was to add additional wind resistance to the trailer to simulate worst case scenario for towing.

That ‘conveyor belt’ was meaningless to the lift generated by the forward motion created by the thrust of the propellor. The airplane was able to move forward to reach aerodynamic lift off, which can be totally independent of forward motion of the airframe. To wit; I once stopped for fuel in Cut Bank, Montana in my…

More unbelievable historical evidence suggests that the very first mass market car Honda made was a rear-wheel-drive two-seater sports car.

Yes they did...

Correct Sir! You get a cookie.

Jesus, what a basic novice rookie mistake. But, hey, they got the clicks from us!

Dee duh dee.

Allegedly the fastest car in the world is car referred to as “My Buddy’s Mustang”. I hear about it at every car show but have yet to lay eyes on it.

There’s some smarts in this design concept. In a shooting war in Europe (where this airplane was originally intended to fly), airfields would be prime targets. The side that could operate on unprepared fields would be the side flying the most...

That doesn’t look like any police shield from the area that I’ve ever seen. Looks like a wannabe, buff, or otherwise some form of impersonator IMO. Could have purchased the mini-shield off of Ebay.

Fwiw, I don’t THINK this toolbox is actually a cop. That wallet thing he’s holding is commonly given out to cops’ family members and contains a miniature version of the cop’s shield.

They will. An upheld palm will mean stay put, and a pointed index finger will direct you when to go. And we are equipped with radios so we can confer with both race control and the other stations.

Sometimes crashes are largely unavoidable...
