‘Totally Shipfaced’...

Great article, and I gotta say, I LOVE mine! Granted, it’s a ‘94 wagon with a manual, 16" WRX wheels and 300k miles, but SWEET!!

Yeah! Like Mad Max, but backwards!!!

Ditto. I was a tech at a VW dealer. Why do we always hear about the disgruntled owners and how bad the cars are, but never about the poor technicians who (try to) earn a living trying to make sense of the most asinine engineering on the planet?

I’m 50. Started riding at 13. And I’m totally with you. For me, it was the fact that at 13, I had no means at all and my older cousin gave me a non-running ‘72 CB-350. After a few days, I was blasting up and down the alley. No plates, no license, no helmet, shorts and a t-shirt. Not a care and not a clue. I was just…

350, TH400, 9"....ah, modern technology at its finest. No wonder the two dudes at the end (presumably GM’s top motorsports engineers) are a couple old farts.

I was privileged to be allowed to sit INSIDE a Swiss F/A-18D for an engine start up and sys check after an engine replacement. The noises are one thing, but the vibrations and little shivers that go through the aircraft are spine-tingling!

Am I the only one who thinks Brokaw sounds drunk?

Ditto, same chassis.

Ouch. I gotta say, that’s some amateurish towing right there. A professional operator NEVER drives a casualty onto the deck. There are a myriad of reasons for this, the most important being that you are there because the vehicle has suffered a mechanical malfunction. You are NOT a technician, thus you have NO idea…

You spelled ‘beast’ wrong...

Thankfully, it wasn’t a REAL wig!!!

This is why I just boat everywhere. Nothing bad ever happens to boats. Definitely.

Sorry, Orlove. Let’s try “Ther ARE (and HAVE been) a lot of very important international events held here.”

Yeah, I think SOMEBODY has been drinking during their ‘launch brakes’!

...like my wife...

...and of course the Beech King Air checking his ground speed with the tower. Followed by a nearby F-15 checking HIS airspeed with the same tower! Followed by the SR-71 pilot....followed by... silence...
