Looks like a ‘42-’43 Buick Roadmaster. Eighteen feet long, but cars like the Continental later got to over 19’ long.

Bad photography. Should have used a longer lens. Check out the second to last picture (screencap from video) for comparison.

Looks like Maple burl, SG 0.55-0.72.

Depends who you ask. Syrian rebels and now the US say no:

A lot of the answers are more quick than fast. This is mostly fast.

Or, for a Ferrari, a “calendar”.

“I’ve never understood why engineers think it’s a good idea...”

Because it’s cheap, quiet, more efficient, and easier to replace. Ford is actually going back to a belt, but bathed in oil, on the new 1L - it should provide the best of both worlds.

Well, the choker was the Nascar fan; the Indy fan was the chokee.

The first popular electronic album - 250-y.o. music adapted for awful-sounding synth piano. Walter/Wendy Carlos made a lot of popular music/soundtracks, though. You’ve probably heard some and liked it, whether you realize it or not.

For a Southern Catholic author whose voice is cynical-to-hateful and who seemed to use missing limbs to symbolize missing morality, etc., you find this surprising? I criticized her in 11th grade for this stuff, without knowing about her correspondence, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least.

The iso-octane they’re making is 100 RON and MON by definition, so also 100 AKI. There is not a consistent difference between RON and AKI, except with current pump gas where 80+% of it is the same regardless.

“does not have local gravity as a factor” for pounds-force generally. For pounds of weight, local gravity is always a factor. At neutral gravity in space, the ISS would weigh 0 pounds.

The tuna oven death was in Oct. 2012, it’s just that charges were filed recently. Far more gruesome industrial accidents have occurred in the US in the meanwhile, I assure you.

Assuming you’re just going on the stories you see, it’s probably because there’s less of a story when the driver dies. No charges, no remorselessness, etc. Particularly if only the drunk driver dies.

It’s intertwined. A spoiler is attached to the body and thus adjusts the overall flow off the back to create less lift and/or drag. A wing is separate enough from the body to have its own flow, producing downforce (and some drag).

Someone who thought the only problem with the Veneno’s chin was sharpness.

The mystery engine looks to have an aluminum block, A series is cast iron.

Thanks for that. Somehow a google image search for “Cayman GTS rear suspension” turned up no useful pictures. I did get the impression that they were passing off a system with multiple lower links but no upper link as “multi-link” but I thought they didn’t have the chutzpah.

Not sure why you’re assuming it’s <2000yds from a video of unknown zoom. There’s a minimum of 11 seconds after the cut at 1:02, before impact. For a 300m/s TOW, that’s 3300m. Well beyond HMG range. If we use the first cut, 5400m.
