I thought large aircraft such as airliners could manually retract/extend their landing gear?

True, but I think that would only apply to a smaller aircraft like this. I imagine that on a jetliner that much mass coming down at an angle would be far uglier.

I'd say that qualifies as pretty damn scary. I wonder what the runway looked like after that.

I have a question to flying experts regarding number one.

Nice bit of Sony advertising for their water resistant smartphone.

I was referring to Mustang enthusiasts. Some are insistent on that "64.5" designation when '65 is referred to as the first model year. Sometimes so much that it annoys me as incredibly nit-picky and untrue.

I've always wondered why they called them that. I know there are slight variations between the early cars and other '65 model years, but so are there with numerous other cars that people don't differentiate with a name like that.

Damn, I just remembered this and don't recall if it was suggested yesterday. http://jalopnik.com/james-bond-fly…

Good advice!

Thanks!

Sweet! Much appreciated.

Hell yeah, dicking around with the propane forklift at my old job was the absolute best part. Smooth warehouse floors when wet are endless fun.

Those seem to be hit or miss from the reviews. Any one out there you know is good?

What? I think they covered real time gauges for everything, music, most entertaining drives and how to avoid speeding tickets as well. What more do you need to enjoy your car?

Goddamn do I love dicking around on forklifts. When it rained the smooth warehouse floor was an endless source of fun. I also loved it when the wood floor of a truck on the slanted loading dock was wet and you'd lock the brakes and slide all the way out again.

To be fair, this was actually a convertible and not just a simulated one.

This is just pathetic, someone simulated a simulated convertible top on a Civic.

It is essentially a simulated convertible look. Back on coaches and early cars the canvas tops folded with that S shaped bar as a styled pivoting mechanism. Look on a hearse or limousine and you'll see a completely useless style bar shaped as such with no purpose at all.

Trust me, she's not going anywhere if I can help it. She's incredibly supportive of my car obsession and even drives a 2010 Mazda 3 that she insisted must be a manual transmission.

I can almost understand why they'd put them on a Cadillac as older buyers apparently loved them on previous models.
