Testing with the arresting gears have proven thus far that there are only 25 landings between operational mission failures. The Navy’s requirement is 16,500.

Another well written and photographed article Peter! How long did this project take in total? Was it hard finding parts for this old gem? I can’t imagine finding things like the fuel sender and fuel cap seal(I would NEVER have thought it even had one after looking at that picture!, I would have assumed it was like…

Sorry, this isn’t 2016, its 2017, verbal from the big Cheeto is all you need if your’e using your own funds. Why, I have a nifty teleporter I plan to unveil as soon as Musk is done with his piddly little tunnel thing. NY to DC in 22min? How last year, my teleporter will be virtually instantaneous! I can’t wait till I…

Weak.

Rats! I forgot its only PC, GTLM, and GTD. Glad I took pics at the Glen!

At Watkins Glen.........

I guess I will have to take extra pics of this beautiful racer at Lime Rock this weekend!

This looks like a job for Roland the Headless Thomson Gunner!

At our potential wedding caterers:

Way to go Stef! Well done, it must have been a blast. That’s an experience I would pay loads of money for if it was even available. I guess getting those carbon brakes take alot of effort before they get to a reasonable temperature. Great article.

New York also...........Just another reason why we suck (I live on Long Island).

What a great way to start my day! Haven’t laughed this hard in a while. Thank you, O’ Bot of the Cases, you are truly doing the lords work.

5th Gear. I told all my friends way back in the 80's, that if the Chinese ever stopped riding those adorable bicycles and started driving, that we would all die from the pollution. Fast forward; yeah, and its way worse than I expected. No one thinks about what it takes to produce a Li-Ion battery, or the huge amounts…

Yes, thank you. Nobody seems to grasp this important point. Even if populations begins to decline in 2050 or whenever they say, it will almost be too late for the poor fish in the sea, and the trees, and the rare earth metals, clean water, etc. This tiny planet can only sustain maybe 2 billion humans, more if we stop…

They have been trying, but, just like any system that is exposed to sea water, corrosion will eventually destroy everything. All of the flooded tunnels that have exposed rebar, the steel linings in the concrete for the wiring to go through, switches, control boxes, etc will all need to be replaced. It would be…

Wish we had a design, prototype, build cycle like they had for THIS!

I’d like to see how they cast and machine these heads! Technological advancements in CAD, casting tech and machining tech have made this possible, but I NEED VIDEO!

This is the best explainer for how the MTA, and pretty much ALL govt. agencies work. The golden age of functioning infrastructure is long gone, time to settle in for the looooooong sloooow end.

Are you going to put some crazy big carbon wings on the car, because I’m sure that will take some time to design, fabricate and install. Great articles so far, looking forward to the rest.

Excellent comparisons, thanks. This will make it much easier to choose a successor to my aging 08 Subaru Outback Sport. Savings mode, ACTIVATED!
