2. Lancia Stratos Rally car. Because race car.

Came for these.

Sporty McSportface

Makes sense to me.

BMW E46 M3. Mine happened to come with some tasteful modifications from Dinan and a few less pleasant ones from the owners dog. For $15250 I ended up with a 470hp go-kart that’s comfortable drive 500+ miles at a stretch. After I finish spending countless hours of labor and another $500 installing a reinforcement kit,…

I make approaches to ships in a helicopter all the time and I can tell you without a doubt that guy was coming in way too hot and shallow. Rushing an approach to a pitching and rolling object that’s moving along at 12 knots or so is not something you want to rush.

My primary concern is that the New WRX drivetrain has no DCCD and it has a cable-actuated shifter (which may be less robust than the old 5-speed as it appears they have squeezed an extra gear into the old housing). The old STI still beats the new WRX lap times as well. Although the more I look at used STI’s, the more…

What are your thoughts on the 2008 gen STI vs the new Wrx? They are pretty close in price but I am leaning towards STI with its DCCD and linkage derived 6 speed. Plus the STI is on the cheaper end.

I always head for the last car, fluorescent light black-out.

1993 Ducati 900SS. Got it for free because my dad didn’t like it (thanks dad!). I picked it up from the dealer for him and rode it from Oregon to the Bay Area. He decided it hurt his knees and let me ride it instead. Eventually he gave me the title. I love the way it looks, sounds, rides, everything about it. I figure…

That’s mostly a matter of economics. Helicopters can land in a parking lot with the engine shut down without much trouble. Try doing that in your citation. The reason you see so many EMS operators plowing into the earth is primarily because they use aircraft ill-suited to the task and don’t provide adequate pilot…

Aren’t most MANPADS passive devices? I speak only from my experience as a simulated F16 pilot, but the only real defense against infa-red guided devices is keep your head on a swivel and dump flares like confetti after you release your munitions. Do they have more advanced sensors these days that pick up passive…

but how do you get the cabbages out of the condoms?

In the Army they call them planes, just think of the havoc that would wreak.

I was picking up a bar pilot from the fantail. We use a hoist and winch him up into the aircraft.

Here's a quick link of the 109 in action.

I fly the 109. Not signed off on the 902 yet as it is our back-up ship and not often available to get time in if we're not actively using it.

Funny that you should mention the 109 and 902 in the same article, I happen to have a pair of them right here.

If Kerbal Space Program has taught me anything, it's just a matter of strapping enough concentric rings of garbage cans filled with rocket fuel around that thing to get me where I need to go.

Look up Harmy's despecialized edition. 15GB of awesome.
