I've found that silver metallic duct tape does a better job.

Damn. They're going to stop building these in 2015, after 67 years, due to 'legislative reasons'. And they haven't been sold in North America since 1997, because of all the nanny rules the DoT enforces to protect stupid American drivers from themselves.

Gaudy as hell, but I'd still love to have a Unit 2 version.

There's also some great cosplay at Fan Expo, Canada's largest con (and that word can be interpreted in a couple of ways ... ) and of course at DragonCon, the monster con held in Atlanta this time every year. I hope the editors manage to showcase some of the costumes from those events, too.

And ended up o-for-three.

Damn, I'd give you another star if I could.

Bah! You think she's small.

When it was first set up in Odiba in the park in 2009 you could walk all around it and between the legs. There's an amazing amount of detail on the whole thing. Lots of little labels with stuff like 'NO STEP' and replacement component serial numbers and torque values.

That's not really fair; they went through a major civil war and a NATO bombing campaign.

I know places like Istanbul, Baku, Bariloche and Addis Ababa would kill for an Olympic Games.

You don't buy one, you lease it. Then the costs are deductible expenses. Either that or you timeshare with 10 other rich guys. Or a combination of both.

Da book says, "Keep RPMs below 4000 RPM for the first 1600 km, and avoid sudden and drastic braking" or words to that effect. So I set the upshift light to 4K and try to make sure it doesn't come on too often. :P

Can I submit my '86 Honda CRX with a 4 cylinder, 1.5 liter CVCC (Compound Vertex Controlled Combustion) engine? It had a carburetor, a pre-combustion chamber for each cylinder, and a vacuum system to control the whole bloody thing. All this to make a whopping 76 bhp.

So no Sugar as Rini/Sailor Mini-Moon? *Sob*

*Sigh* It's easy to hack. Just Google it.

From what I remember from The Making of Star Trek, there was no tape involved, just gravity and a marvellous physique.

My brother! I'm the same, and I have no problem getting in and out of my FR-S. It gives other people a bit of a pause, though.

Pretty sure that's 'Gran Fury'. My Dad had one, about 30 years ago. Huge goddamn engine.

Yeah, no. Go with this:
