One sentence later: “It’s more pure in purpose than the hot hatches and more pragmatic than the convertibles, though it is small.” Which is true. At the end of the day, this is RWD and those are not.

I bumped something behind my steering wheel while driving my 328xi #likeaboss the other day and my car started making some weird clicking noise. I wonder if this was it?
I said, years ago, Reality TV would be the doom of our civilization. It breeds mindless drones within the viewers and elevates morally compromised, self-aggrandizing assholes to the level of role models.
“We want cheap, small, light weight sport cars!”
Your brakes create a force (torque) that works to slow you down. When the force (torque) of the brakes is higher than the power (torque) being applied via the drivetrain, you slowdown or don’t go to begin with.
When you “powerbrake” a car, you hold the brakes just enough to let the wheels spin. A “line-lock” is often…

As I was boarding my southwest flight earlier this week, I thought to myself “I’m surprised Jalopnik hasn’t done a “Here’s why there are spirals on airplane engine impeller cones” and poof it’s here.

I always like the saying that airplanes fly through the air, while helicopters beat it into submission.
Fake News! This was original image before it was edited. Everyone knows jet fuel can’t turn steel rotors!
Helicopters don’t fly but rather beat the laws of aerodynamics into submission.
I always thought that helicopters were just a large collection of parts in close proximity failing to throw themselves at the ground ... :-D
I said this on a previous article, but I do think his freaking out about this and members of his campaign the past few days all of a sudden remembering meetings with the Russian ambassador lead me to believe they found out there was a FISA warrant.
Robert Reich lays out the options as being threefold:
Nothing a little fiberglass and paint won’t fix...wait, that’s actually true.
Honest question: isn’t the F-16 pretty suitable? It’s about $20mm each and maybe a bit more maintenance, but we already have years and years of flight/fight experience and the associated tools, SOPs, etc.
I really want to get an old VF500F Mini-ceptor. Something about that little V4 is inexplicably really appealing to me.
Yup...came here to post the same.
We need some gear-driven cam VFR noise here.
Don’t forget Yamaha and the Venture, Royal Star, and king of the v-4, the V-Max.
