Is there a reason the link for the Mir Mine photo essay takes you to a google search instead of directly to the page? Trying to drive up search results or something?

I wonder if I could just buy a couple of cabins and live in them?

Rob is the fat brother right? The topless swimming pic isn't really complete without his moobs.

Personally I'd take the 6 speed, mostly because of longevity and easy maintenance. When the 6-speed's clutch eventually goes out, it's a relatively simple repair, and the transmission itself will last for hundreds of thousands of miles if you don't beat on it.

I'd be really curious to know how the oiling system works...Maybe total loss like some old radials?

The Aaliyah biopic sounds really promising: Watch too many people pile into a Cessna. Watch the over-loaded Cessna crash. Go home.

Sad as this is for the birds, I can take a few dead pigeons to keep PEOPLE from dying after birdstrikes.

How does a modern car with a 1.5 liter engine make only 106 horsepower? Feeble. Pretty sure in the early '90s Hondas had more power even with similarly sized single cam engines.

In fairness to the panicked Jeep driver, F1 drivers make the same mistake:

Yes. I'm from Oahu but love the Big Island, this would be an even better island runabout than a VW Thing.

Isn't "seaplane" less descriptive than "floatplane" or "pontoon plane" though? Seaplane could mean either a floatplane or a flying boat, while a pontoon/float plane sort of means it's a regular plane with floats underneath. Just a thought.

I bailed you out, GM, and you give me this piece of shit!

Yes. This. I had the pleasure of renting a Trabant for a couple of days while visiting Germany. Let me give you some highlights:

Personally, I think the most efficient seating would be to have everyone law in long tubes, with their feet at the aisle and head at the windows. You could probably stake people three or four high, and you could sleep comfortably!

Man, unless you're real handy with wrenches, if you only earn minimum wage, DO NOT buy an older Porsche! You may be able to buy it, but you'll never keep it running on a tiny budget unless you do the work yourself...

Man, why would the USAF not love this?!? So badass.

It seems the guy took the video down, so I couldn't see how he was doing it.

I agree...but in fairness, isn't there only one AN-225 in existence? Perhaps "largest production plane" would be correct?

Ah ha. That would make sense.

Haven't you heard? Baseball changed the rules, you're now only safe when your head is on the bag.
