The cross shaft on the MV-22 allows one engine to power both rotors in the event of a (single) engine failure, similar to the linked rotors on the CH-47 Chinook helicopter. So, redundancy.

My father, who flew may types of aircraft from the B-25 (Ferry Command) to the F-86, had a comment for this kind of accident: “Arsing around down near the ground”.

Says the rare old bold pilot. Guy probs eats RR’s for brakefast, “...piss in your dead skull!” etc. Go off, you Golden artifact.

Tapping nostalgia, obvs.

Better two doors rusting off than four. $avvy.

Exactly. Wrong sandbox.

Range Rover marketing dept. has determined that most douches live outside the USA.

Serious question: has anyone used cathodic, or even anodic protection on a rolling vehicle yet?

Now with rich man’s maintenance experience.

Impressive, for sure. But at the same time weirdly dismaying. Moving parts or not, these are desk art. Hollywood rpms. I’m with OP on this fizzle.

Art Deco original of (scale facsimile of) a Bugatti Chiron torque set is currently $200,000. Limited prints are $10,000.

If AJ was sweating a ‘baseball > child’s head’ reoccurance, he sure as fuck didn’t follow though.

Plus all the k’s and k’s of baseball kids rooting for kiddom. And all their families.

Heydays bring fame and names, it was always the racing and it’s prominence that mattered. Any decline of the popularity of NASCAR today, which I assume you’re referring to, is probably due to way more alternative spectacles (mostly via a screen) available.

Thanks for this. Sweet tune and a nice vid.

Test.

So, I’ve read way down into the comments here, and l see lots of passionate talk. Both some well reasoned debate and some inane inflammatory pronouncements. Rest easy, all you passionate people. I’m not here to turn any tide, I will rather say why I think you are all being childish.
