Timely...we’re just putting the finishing touches on my son’s first Pinewood Derby car (he’s 6). Pure wedge, and it was totally his idea because “If it’s a ramp, it makes the air go over the top like this!” followed by a hand motion. And then you have extra room in the rear to drill in the weights, which I did last…

I guess you’re either missing the part where it says “a special design and color scheme used on the vehicles, aircraft, or products of a particular company”, or the fact that Gulf Oil used to be a company.

Thanks for the feature!

..and don’t forget the hexagons(!) wouldn’t be a truncated icosahedron without hexagons (12 regular pentagonal faces, 20 regular hexagonal faces) 

You get a star just for the Aerosmith reference.

I think he meant 10 lph. You know, liters per hour.

Alright Jalops finally a car maker is going to build a brown wagon of legend. Time to put your money where your keyboard is.

High speed rail makes a lot of sense, it’s just that you poor Americans have never really seen it. The Acela Express reaches the dizzying speed of 150mph for nearly 30 miles, but the rest of the time it’s not really any quicker than the trains that were traveling the same rails 80 years ago.

Many countries have trains…

I read that dealership as “Bacon and Ranch” and got WAY too excited.

I foresee a future where commuters are stacked like cordwood in the back of autonomous UPS trucks.

Thanks. It’s always amazes me how many models the Japanese makers produce in other markets, with not much differentiation. This thing really does look like a miniature Q45.

JASON NEVER CHANGE.

Not wanting to join the ‘hey look at my fancy watch’ crowd, but the B&R BR-03-92 suited my desires... clean lines, simple, not too big, interesting...

I am rocking my Hublot Big Bang today, its one of the few that actually look good IMHO. Not all of them are awful, check out the line up.

The “my $12 Timex does the same thing” is the most tired argument ever when discussing high end watches. Adding some smartphone features doesn’t make it any better. Trust me, people who buy a watch like this don’t do it because they need the ability to tell time.

You should read up on a period between 1933-1939. Were there was quite a lot of appeasing Tyrants going on. Before the invading of Western Europe, leading up to the Japs to get in on the action.

We voted for the same exact thing. Going back to the good old days. We have the same goal as Russia.

Biggest dump I took was 2 pounds.

...briefly!
