I drove one of those one evening. Loved the turning radius.

And I just realized this is an old post and I shared the same information when it was published. Heh.

I regret I didn’t make note of the publication date, but here in Indianapolis around the same time the Local Council of Women declared the bicycle a menace to morality.

Certainly not now that the cars disintegrate instead of the drivers. I don’t know how often it happened in the early days of racing, but those cars were very tough.

I seem to recall that in the old days, race cars were robust enough that if a driver died during practice or qualifications, it wasn’t all that unusual for someone else to drive the same car for the race.

I don’t know about that. Airplanes are obscenely expensive to design, test, and manufacture, e.g. It’s hard to imagine how Boeing could do what it does were it small enough to be allowed to fail.

Thoughtful, somber, respectful piece. Nicely done.

Erin covered it this past weekend.

The other channel I watch on a regular basis for film analysis is Implicitly Pretentious, in case you haven’t found him yet. Very thoughtful takes on the Marvel universe in particular.

One of my favorite movie commentators had an excellent take on the film. If you haven’t encountered Mikey Neumann yet, here’s a good opportunity to do so.

...in 1934? Just how old are you?

That looks amazing. So jelly, but I have no PC nor game console.

In some retirement communities they’re practically essential: much cheaper to operate than a car, much more sociable than a car, they have their own pathways, perfect range for getting around, even (usually) the electric ones.

What kind of brave man does it take to beat up a woman?

There was a pretty cool pickup at a car show in Madison, Indiana last summer. Very sweet setup.

Can’t find anything but frontal impact data on their website. Dunno.

I assumed it was because they didn’t want it to sound like a guarantee it would protect in the case of a rollover, since it’s definitely not as structurally sound as some aftermarket roll cages, or at least wasn’t prior to the JL.

You are right, I don’t get the Jeep thing.

That’s why they all have roll cages.

Friend of mine owns one; after all this is over I need to start bugging him to let me take a ride.
