Jensen FF was driving up ski slopes before driving up ski slopes was cool.

It was actually useful for the passenger/spotter when offroading (yes, they were good little offroad vehicles).

I don't want a display. I want either the voice of Douglas Rain or William Daniels telling me what's going on:

What if the late 1960s "stock car aero wars" had taken place a few years earlier, say just after the end of WWII?

How about... an extra $130* in you pocket every month for 5 years from lower payments, plus less money at the pump, plus lower insurance rates?

While not having to worry about shooting off your propeller, you did have another problem with jets: engine flameouts due to ingesting gas from the guns when firing. Early MiGs tried to solve this problem with a deflector on the intake.

Because Ferdinand Porsche "looked over the shoulder" of Hans Ledwinka at Tatra.

British_Looks ironic list of the 15 worst cars of all time:

Neither the Stutz nor the Mercer were one offs, both were regular production cars.

Duesenberg's base was Indianapolis, not Auburn. The factory remained there after E.L. Cord (of Auburn and Cord fame) took over.

As soon as Ford starts making a pickup with F-150 capability that I can fit into my old, tiny garage (yeah, it goes inside since I don't like scraping ice off the windshield on winter mornings), parallel park in the city, and drive into parking garages, I'll trade in my Ranger.

I'm sensing a Ford commercial here:

Aviation related example of the same:

777 is just a really good a/c. Very comparable to the A-330, just a little faster, a little more fuel efficient, etc. FedEx, for example, has orders and options for over 40 of the freigher versions.

An interesting example of this was TMI (Three Mile Island) in 1979. The pressure gauges kept going up, and the system vented as it should. After pressure was relieved, the command to close the vent was sent, and an indication of this was shown on the control panels. Note I said the indication that the command was…

I read a book recently (sorry, can't remember the title) that had a lot of this in it. Basically, Boeing's philosophy assumes if you're a commercial pilot, you're well-trained and will only need reminders if you start to screw something up. Airbus, on the other hand, has the philosophy of making the plane "pilot…

Having driven a long wheelbase E-350 V-10 both unloaded and way overloaded, as well as short wheelbase E-350s towing fully loaded dual-axle dump trailers, I'll say this:

By sheer numbers, yes, I'd agree with you.

Stutz owner: "There's nothing worser than driving a Mercer."

Packard vs. Winton.
