So much CP, but this gives me an opportunity to share this pic of a truck I saw earlier this year at one of the local mountain biking haunts. We don’t get a lot of cool old stuff like that in my parts. I don’t know much about these BUT I LOVE AND NEED THIS ONE

I once bought a Volkswagen.
Here’s how a Ford Focus clutch works:
“...and the shop’s selling it as 90 percent complete—the buyer would have to pay an additional fee for the shop to finish it, according to the ad. The car also, evidently, isn’t under warranty.”
Wow.. Just wow. What the holy fuck. Sometimes I Really wonder about this country.
Well.. would you rather us switch to public healthcare ?
Backlick for a dollar? That’s a good deal.
Being able to get places without needing a drivers license (in theory).
Super interesting data - the slope of the speed plot (i.e. the acceleration) is pretty much constant up to about 230kph/143mph - indicating that they were mostly grip-limited to that speed. After that, the curve matches what you’d expect for the significant aero load at such high speed. The car is also still…
Survive heavy fire? Armored fuselage? Where did you make that piece of information up.
Such a shit take.The tip of a rotor blade advances a hell of a lot faster than your car.
Living on the Hudson River on the Jersey side, I can tell you that the helicopter traffic in the area is absurd. We have been fighting for years to shut down the tourist choppers, to change the flight paths, etc. On a nice summer day, I once sat on my deck and measured only about 15 minutes of a full hour in which I…
Blackhawks are not armored aside from maybe some kevlar blankets designed to limit spalling inside the cockpit. The forward sweeping side of the rotor can be moving at speeds up to 500mph. And the issue isn’t just surviving the hit, clearly the blackhawk did. but any damage to the rotors means the rotor gets…
Only small sections of a Blackhawk are armored (under the pilots seats, around sensitive avionics, etc...), and the windows in most models are not bullet resistant. The skin of the aircraft is lightweight and easy to dent, damage, but also to replace. They are made to survive moderate damage, but there are many trade…
survive heavy fire? armored fuselage?bulletproof window?
>Implying the fuselage and windows are armored. LOL
They’re designed to take enemy fire and then land with minimal harm to the crew. If the aircraft takes enemy fire it’s going to need repairs. Same goes for impacting a solid object at speed.
