When did $kay get a pilot’s license?

Unrelated, but funny.

And it’s amazing!

Agreed.  You must see this in person.  The fluid in your eyeballs will vibrate.

The most important dimension is the height from ground to driver’s seat. Crossovers have a comfortable seat height that doesn’t require the deep knee bends to get in and out of a sedan. When crossovers achieved fuel economy nearly equal to sedans, the public switched over, because CUVs offer more utility, more space,…

It’ll literally bring tears to your eyes (from the nitro) and recalibrate your sense of what “fast” is.

Truth! The first time you are in the presence of a Nitro funny car or Top Fuel dragster doing it’s thing is almost a rite of passage. You ain’t never heard or felt anything like it. Ten thumbs up.

This x1000. It’s impossible to describe the full-body sensation that is NHRA nitro class racing to someone who’s never experienced it. When we take newbies to the track we always watch them instead of the race, because the expression on someone’s face when they feel that punch in the gut is priceless.

I don’t watch NHRA on television, but I will absolutely go see Top Fuel in person when it’s possible. If anything, it “shifts your internal baseline for mechanical power” because it literally shifts your internals when they open up. Feels like someone kicking you in the chest.

When you do have a chance Elizabeth, you’re in for an experience that shifts your internal baseline for mechanical power.  There’s not many more visceral experiences than standing 100 feet away from a Top-fuel car at full launch.

If you have not been to an NHRA national event, then you have never heard a loud car. You think you’ve heard a loud car, BUT YOU HAVE NOT.

Electric leaf blowers are the ones you really want to use for this. Gas powered leaf blowers can sometimes have very small amounts of oil in the air coming out and that all ends up on the paint. 

Man, we really, really need some adults in the room for these shit for brain politicians to go to for advice on how to understand business.

Neutral: Manufacturers have to make money and change with the times, else they will get left behind (see: bankruptcies in 2009). If politicians attempt to force them to continue to make unprofitable/unsalable product, they will not survive. OR, they will survive, but not in the US.

In all honesty, just draw two or three hours a day for a few years. There are books on basic techniques and perspective and whatnot, but practice is the single biggest factor.

Spelling matters. Grammar matters. Proof read the fucking comments before you hit “Publish”, or accept the well-deserved ridicule.

You’re reading a whole lot into a remote hood button
