Actually, mine isn’t ridden hard and put away wet. 2003 VIII. 157K on it. Bought it brand new in Auguest 2003 with 12 miles on it. Original clutch. Adult owned and maintained. My wife hauls the kids, and the groceries in it, as child seats don’t fit well in our Mini. Below is a post I put up on Oppo earlier today. The…

I’d just let Motley Crue plug in direct and go to town. On the plus side, they would likely get shelled, so it is a win-win.

10/10 would hoon. Given the option I would go for a Goose, but that Widgeon is awfully nice.

As would be expected.

I said smaller and not small. They have 90+/- airframes now and are looking to order 250 more. That is rapid growth and there are a lot of things that are needed beyond just airframes to make that safely and efficiently work. I really do wish them well and Indian market is fascinating, but history is littered with…

Who is financing the deal? While Indigo is doing well, and I hope they continue to do so, that seems like a risk. We’ve seen a number of smaller carriers make these big orders only to read about them being pulled back or canceled a few years later.

FAR is old terminology. 14 CFR is the new deal.

I think they had a bird strike at about 3:34!!! I imagine the view from the boats was epic.

NASCAR allows blocking in dangerous situations. Bumping has been encouraged as part of its lore. I suppose that if you enter one of their races you know what you are getting into.

I like the TIEs and X-Wings mirroring each other in count and location.

Just think of the cool stuff they could have done with the tanks! Insulated pressure vessels ready to go. Almost in orbit.

Assuming you have a week you could take that magnificent car and drive to Montana and Wyoming and play on amazing mountain roads. I know Pebble is a great event, but a week with one of those warrants some driving!

Aerospace Engineer here. Evo and Mini in the garage. Two of my engineers have MGBs, one had an Exige S up until a year ago. Another engineer friend in the company drag races Mystangs. There are a number of muscle cars in the mix. I think you may work with the wrong engineers.

I’ve preached this here a number of times. People can live with fun cars. Have lives and careers. I’m 40, work as a white collar engineering manager at a big company. Meetings, vendor visits and all the baggage that goes aling with that. A respected member of the industry. A wife, a five year old and an 8 year old.…

I would agree with you. The flying bits did what the flying bits do. That said, this isn’t a question of the wing generating upwards lift, but the horizontal stabilizer (tail) producing a downwards force sufficient to raise the nose. Most people don’t realize that the horizontal stabilizers push down and not up to…

I was noticing that as well. I imagine it is good fun to walk on the top of the Space Needle.

I’m in 047! Right near Parkview

Lilburn here...yo! (That’s what you kids say, right?)

It’s an L-39, but I am right there with you.

I haven’t seen either, small kids in the house syndrome, so I can't speak to the quality of either film, but could your connection be related to the fact that you work in the media and something like Gawker Media isn’t hat far removed from the magazine world? Honest question. I work in aviation and I tend to remember…
