Buys a fake Ipad, wears fake glasses? Must be a trend I'm not aware of.

Rockets. Rockets everywhere.

A long time ago, my dad took me to an air show at the Toledo airport. I don't remember much of it, as it was probably 30+ years ago, but I do remember waiting after the show was over, as my dad wanted to see the F-15's take off. We weren't disappointed, as they rolled down the run-way, pulled back on the stick, and…

Ok, good point. Thanks for the info.

How is that, exactly? If a certain plant, say wheat, for example, is modified in order to resist certain insects, wouldn't a farmer need to use less pesticide, not more? The same would be said for plants that could grow with less water usage, or resistance to disease. Just curious as to why GMO's would lead to more…

This car is all kinds of insanity in package that beats almost all other cars in its class. Car & Driver posted a review recently, and stated it had the shortest stopping distance (126 feet) & highest cornering limit (1.19 G) of any production car they've ever tested, regardless of price. If it were my money, I'd…

Don't pretend you don't know why a 300 HP Volkswagen isn't coming to the US. We all know the reason...

The Trabant would have to rank near the top of any car design, being made out of non-recyclable Duro-plast.

The earliest guns & cannons didn't have much of an impact on the wars in which they were used, and were thoroughly ruled by the bow & arrow and catapult, but I'd argue they fundamentally changed the way warfare was fought after their introduction. The same applies to the Monitor. After it's first battle, the age of…

I submit the USS Monitor, which heralded the end of the wooden hulled sailing ship as the absolute ruler of the seas.

Nope, V-6 Mustang

One of the best parts of my Saturday is listening to Car Talk while on appointments. I know both Tom & Ray have been retired from broadcasting for a while now, but I still like to listen to the show. Probably the best episode is when a woman asked if the engine in her Hyundai was shot, and they asked her to start it…

Route 66? Check

something tells me that those figures aren't adjusted for inflation. Gas in the 1940's was rationed, and during the gas crunch in the 70's, gas just could not be had sometimes.

Posted because most of the kids here don't know who Don Rickles is.

Odd how I've seen that blue Dodge Magnum with black rear hatch around town, but I've never remember seeing a Aston Martin Vantage Roadster. Oh well, nice to see RCR up in the nicer areas of Toledo. I hope he got to drive the Aston more than just tooling up and down Central Avenue and around Wildwood Metro park. Just…

Actually, I was referring to the police car that was sitting in the parking lot to the riders right after he jumped off of the bridge. But, oh well, it let me post a funny Hitler video.

Man, it's getting to be like one of those police states around here. Just like that group in Germany back in WWII. You know who I mean, the ones with the really snazzy uniforms.

Oh, Hi officer! What was I doing? Well, the sidewalk was all crowded with pedestrians, and it's so unsafe to use the roadway, so I thought using the bridge arches would be easier. Their almost as wide as a sidewalk anyway, and someone conveniently put some boards over the gaps, so it was easy peasy lemon squeasy.

Yeah, that statement about never moving the Wrangler production has been replayed several times in the local press in and around Toledo (local resident here). The idea of relocating the Wrangler line to a new facility is akin to moving Ferrari out of Maranello , as a fellow Jalop wrote a few days ago. If this actually…
