The plane was fresh off of an 18-year restoration and may never fly again. Read more

Yes, that was a revolution in design. However, as a roughly-average height person, I can barely see over the hoods of the newer full-size trucks these days. I imagine drivers could run over small animals and children without even knowing it.

1990 Eclipse GSX that my dad bought in November 1989. I was only 8 and that thing was a GOTDANG ROCKETSHIP. And looked super cool too. Orange dash lights...pop up headlights....graphic equalizer. Turbo AWD goodness.

Between that and our 1984 Toyota Van LE (5 speed), I think it’s clear where my love of all things… Read more

1996 Dodge Viper GTS. It started a life-long obsession for 10-year-old me, and although it took a long time for me to save up to get one, I still smile every time I open my garage and see one sitting there.

Ingenuity has no scientific equipment on it, so it’s not really useful for anything other than testing the possibility of controlled flight on Mars. So while it’s possible they will find a use for its one tiny black-and-white camera, there isn’t really much it can do that Perseverance can’t at this point. Read more

The 1994 Dodge Ram front end was a complete departure from what other manufacturers were doing with pickup trucks up until that point. While it is pretty ‘meh’ nowadays, it set a trend that almost all other manufacturers started designing toward in the years after and still carries on today, 27 years later.

The LaFerrari is a mild hybrid, not a battery EV. It’s less electrified than a Prius so I’m not sure what your point is.

6+ years of development, completely autonomous operation, 2500rpm coaxial rotor system with needed motor and battery system, control logic for flying in atmospheric pressure that’s 1% of earth atmosphere, ability to stay alive in -90deg c temperatures in dusty conditions, all packaged in 1.9kg.. not to mention… Read more

That attitude isn’t “eat the rich” enough for this site.

Have you noticed how clickbaity and intentionally misleading the headlines around here have gotten? It’s all to make you click the article and expose you to more ads. I’m done with this place. They’ve lost their good writers and all that’s left is mediocracy.

Details, details!

Isn’t that kind of where they are already? Read more

In the sequel to “The Martian”, Matt Damon, who is stranded on Mars again, can take the abandoned Ingenuity apart, charge it with solar cells, and use its motors and blades as a Weed Wacker on his potato farm.

The fact that the Zodiac Killer has not already been recalled and thrown out of office for his bullshit means to me that Texas has no problem with him gibbering whatever bullshit comes to mind and will certainly have no issues with him leaving the state the next time they are suffering. Read more

Holy crap I never noticed that wasn’t Satsuki until this morning. Read more

Actually it’s Totoro’s latest victim, just look at his eyes. He uses that bus stop to pick out his prey before he follows them homes like an ‘80s Slasher.
