A good friend of mine has one with a low miles LS3 out of a last gen Firebird in it. He added a big, lopey cam as well. The thing is a beast. I drove it when it still had the big turbos on the Nissan motor and it was a handful. Lots of fun for not much money.

Get there early, bring snack, some entertainment and enjoy the show. Great people watching at airports.

if you have an extended layover in the Atlanta head down to F concourse to enjoy the quiet and better food. There are some nice places to sit up on the second floor. There is also a Moes on A (I think) that is pretty good as far as airport food goes.

We've done both. We took a Carnival cruise over Thanksgiving and it was a damn good deal. $28/day per person. Like was mentioned above, we didn't take any excursions and just took the kids to the beach when we were in port. Food in the formal dining room was surprisingly good and even the buffets were better than…

The galaxy thinks my world is mostly harmless. Really, we are more than that. We have some of the best barbecue that you can find this side the Virgo Stellar Stream.

There is a big, big universe out there with amazing places to explore. Views that are barely imaginable. We need to get out there and see them.

Same thing is happening in the commercial environment. Many OEMs are pushing "gold care" packages and other initiatives to drive repair back to their Part 145 repair stations. This leaves the operator with limited understanding of the unit, nothing to drive competitive pricing and limited levers that can be pulled…

I was thinking more of riding in the back on a commercial flight. The Load Smasher's response is excellent.

Same deal as WiFi on the plane. Sure you can just surf fine sites like this one, but there is an expectation of doing "work" while flying while flying. Screw that. That is good, quality book time right there.

My phone with international data turned on. Just got back from a cruise and was able to use it quite a bit when we skimmed by islands. Didn't use it for work or to surf the web, just to find out where we were, what that island was and do some research on destinations.

Nice MWM shout out. One of the best motorsports podcasts out there.

Harley 42WLA. Wonder where the motorcycle subculture came from in the '50s and early '60s? Right here. Guys coming back from the war certainly contributed to the acceptance of motorcycles in the general population.

Came here to post the same. Light weight, "long range", motorcycle.

I think JB is a great race driver and an amazing spokesman, what I wonder about is how good is he at developing a car? I get the vibe that he can get in and drive the wheels off of a good machine, but when it comes to improving a car through the season that he may lack something.

It could be one of the first 380 3Cs and perhaps that is why it took so long. Tough to say. With the new maintenance programs where you just do heavy Cs and no real D (overhaul), maybe that is just what it takes with this beast. That said, it is too early for substantial corrosion to set in, so non-routine…

55 days? That is insane for a 3C. You can get a 777 through one in 3-4 weeks. Sure the 380 is a bigger plane, but damn. My guess, as you hinted at, that they were doing an interior upgrade and some STC work.

The Lockhed CL-400 Suntan, a design study that was a peer to the SR-71, was going to be hydrogen fueled. Mach 2.5.

Second stage on though. First was RP-4.

I've fried a bunch of turkeys for work. Works great. Once of the big hits I did was make cake donuts while the oil was coming up to temp. They were awesome.
