I’d say it was the fame

They were all test pilots...they got to see cool shit that other’s don’t get to see long before Apollo 11

In the sixties we could put a man on the moon, but it took another SIX DECADES before GM could figure out how to put an engine behind the driver*

Collins is a class act, I’ve always been impressed with his roll in the missions. random side note - i remember when i was 12 (30th anniversary year i would guess) I got one of those calls you used to get from actual telephone surveys and it was a single question: who was the third member of the Apollo 11 crew?

And worst of all, they would have to wait fifty years before the Corvette C8 was released.

Last night NASA ran the entire uncut video of the moon walk in real time (Armstrong says “One small step for man” at the exact time he did 50 years ago. It was the first time I’d seen an unedited version of the walk and it was fascinating.

Poor Collins had to sit through quarantine along with the other two guys and didn’t even get to walk on the moon for his trouble. Imagine if they’d picked up some deadly moon infection and gotten him sick, he could have died just for being their chauffeur up there.

No no no. It's "I blew 2 trannies on my way to Moab." Followed up by the next book "I transported 2 trannies to Moab, always be prepared"

I could buy one actually, I have a union job, I was in fact in charge of Toyota at the auto show.  

Oh, that driveline’s definitely ending up in some FFR GTMs and replicars somewhere.

If David Tracy wrote an article headlined “I Blew Two Trannies This Weekend”, I’d click on it without trepidation and read it happily. Glad you’re writing about the first Corvette I actually care about, instead.

My friend has a saying about not arguing with some people. He says “don’t play chess with a pigeon”... If you do he says before you are done;

I hate avocadoes with a deep, all-consuming passion (they taste like inedible trash paste) and that doesn’t change the fact that DopamineFiend’s ageist reply is hot garbage. Do better, OP.

Dang Bradley, you brought the Boomers out with this one.

Go back to yelling about your grass grandpa.

This tells me two things.

Ford set a bunch of goals and then fucked around and didn't come close to achieving them. THAT sounds like a shitty Boomer stereotype of a millennial to me.

Sorry, I can’t pay attention long enough to read this.

Not really a millenial thing. Ford themselves put a date on it, and missed that date.

“Cars?”
