They should get Mark Walberg to pitch it. Then he could be called the

Using ramps is cheating.

There are a few similar acts on the US airshow circuit that both take off and land from the moving vehicle.

So you just row in a circle, until you go mad. Simple.

Nope. Just typical Americans.

Weight of these is ~3200 lbs. not 4,000,000 as stated above, especially without a sunroof which is kind of an unusual configuration for a factory turbo car. With the turbo keeping up with modern traffic is no problem. Stick shift is more fun, but with the auto you don’t lose boost between shifts and Volvo never…

I used to do this in my truck (‘79 F-150) when in order to eat and drive.  Not too hard if the shifter is in a position that you can reach it.  Expert level is doing it on a downshift without using the clutch.

Stratolaunch is a competitor to Falcon Heavy in the same way that a Fiat 500 is a competitor to a Freightliner FL86. They are both technically automobiles that can carry some amount of cargo, but nobody thinking of buying one is even considering the other as an alternative.

Thank god. It’s bad enough having 4.0 I6 jeeps tailgate me and drive aggressively. I don’t need Fred Durst lookalikes roaming around in 700hp mall-crawlers with 6 inch lifts ok, I can’t just watch someone crash and not stop to help. Don’t make me help Fred Durst or people who look like him

When I was a kid growing up in London I would often see Concorde coming in over the city on final approach to Heathrow.

Some of you haven’t been here long enough to gather up these delicious, delicious memes.  And it shows.

I can put my butt on a 6 foot breaker bar and generate 1000 ft-lbf of torque. But I cannot generate more than 1/2 HP for more than the half-second it takes to belly-flop onto a carpet so I won’t be towing anything anywhere.

Not seeing any loud pipes. How are they gonna save lives?

Straight to Hell.  Obviously.

That thing is two wheels away from being a Rascal-style mobility scooter.

1:19 The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
1:20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
1:21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be…

Mono Ego only pawn in game of life.

You may be surprised to hear that a Porsche 911 is extremely good at racing off road...

Mach 1 was a sexy number. it was the freakin speed of sound! 1000 mph is just mach 1+ in the eyes of investors...what’s the imperative? Put another way, who remembers (top of the head, no cheating) the name of the jet and pilot to break Mach 2.*

I was ready to click the NP button. I wanted to click it. But then so many things leapt out at me.
