Turning a flying vehicle will cause you to lose some altitude. A large number of fatal plane crashes result from pilots trying to turn at low altitudes after takeoff. I suspect that vehicle is even less maneuverable than a common airplane. His decision to go straight was correct. Another foot of altitude and they…

I agree that every runup should be done after testing the engine at full power, but I suspect they didn’t want the dune buggy kicking debris into the propeller, or ropes tangling in the propeller. They should have at least done a full power test before moving, though. If you can’t do that, the design is flawed.

“...they give the interior the look of a lamb chop abattoir.”

A week or two ago, David mentioned that the staff is no longer allowing him to use Jeep as his go-to answer.

But you aren’t paying for the rider. You’re paying for real estate. You’re paying to reduce road crowding, to get to work sooner, and to have more parking when you get there.

No, you don’t put on long gloves that way.

I was a tourist driving in the Houston area, and the public highway turned ‘private pass only’ with very little warning and poor signage. (It didn’t say, “Exit here’, it said, “Exit here for road such and such”.) I exited as soon as I figured it out. Damn notice in the mail threatened to impound my car if I didn’t pay…

Every person on that bus is one less car in front of you and one less parking space for which you need to fight.

IF that money is actually used on infrastructure. Politicians will raid any budget they can once the doors are closed to the public.

I see the misbehaving kids are not shown on the front of the box. Good move for Monogram. Mom’s preview some purchases.

It IS a manual, and black is just a very dark shade of brown.....

Everyone knows Seattle is for living on boats, not busses!

That’s a good point. I guess not having haggled from a non-cash purchase, I can’t say if you’d get a better deal or not.

Okay. I can see that.

The Ruf Yellow Bird 911 helped me realize that flared turbo 911's aren’t all of that. Keep it nimble!

I’ve taken an interest in the Lancia Fulvia Coupe and the Dino 308 GT4. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be buying them and painting them red, because “Italian car means red”. The Italians had fantastic color palates for these cars when new, it was only their racing cars that were red!!! (Ferrari and Alfa just didn’t…

This would fit my classic car bug quite nicely. I’d pay extra for it if/when I was buying. An e28 M5 would be in the next stall. 

Why didn’t I go looking for one of these in 2006, when they were $9K for a good one??!!! I’d even strip out the bad electronics. I just want to drive it, and occasionally bring the family.

I like the 964, but my nostalgia button is definitely those accordion-bumper, 80's 911s. Put a slim whale-tail on it and I’d hold my breath, while slowly walking or driving past.

You get a star for that GTO in a color other than red. Sweet!
