That’s a terrible waste of a car

I shit you not, I know someone who does this with his 355. The dude never drives it. He does start it up in the parking lot at a show, waits 15 minutes for it to reach operating temps, revs it a few times, allows for a cool-down and shuts it off.

At the end of the show, he wenches it back into his enclosed trailer (he…

This whole situation is a mess of “he said, he said, they said, these other guys said, video cut #1 said, video cut #2 said”.

I honestly love Michael Collins, he’s been a hero of mine for years. I’m fascinated by the bravery it took to be the only human on the dark side of the moon, with no contact from anyone. While up there, he actually had to tell himself “ok, if things go wrong on the surface, I definitely won’t kill myself, though…

Collins is a class act, I’ve always been impressed with his roll in the missions. random side note - i remember when i was 12 (30th anniversary year i would guess) I got one of those calls you used to get from actual telephone surveys and it was a single question: who was the third member of the Apollo 11 crew?

There’s that great bit in his Giulia review where he spent an entire afternoon trying to drift it through a cardboard cutout of the car. And in the end he did it!

Harris could show up at a round of Formula Drift with a loaned press car and be competitive after learning the rules. Man can slide. And I still pine for that Valkyrie vs AMG ONE super-test.

I think this is literally the only thing that could possibly redeem this wannabe strongman’s bullshit partisan takeover of the Fourth of July.

The child was brutalized ON CAMERA and the parents had to get social workers to advocate for charges?? And they claimed that there's equity in law enforcement. Bullshit. Let this have been a Black or Latino man pinning a white child down like this. He would've been executed swiftly by the police upon their arrival.

Please don’t drive around your newborn baby in a 60 year old Corvair, unless you really have no other option. I feel like that should go without saying, but here we are.

What the US really needs is a fleet of far less costly AIP/diesel boats, TO COMPLIMENT the SSNs.

Can we stop paying attention to this mediocre women’s who’s literal, actual, only job is to get people to tune in to see what asinine, backwards shit she says? Meghan McCain exists only to get blog posts about her, like this. That’s it.

Everything you’ve been saying seems to stem from a few anecdotes instead of actual evidence...

The old flying wing designs, without the aid of modern computer flight control software, could be very dangerous in all but straight and level flying conditions. It was especially difficult for pilots trained in conventional aircraft (with dedicated aileron, elevator, and rudder control surfaces) to hop into these…

Amateur Race Driver is an Egotistical Prick

the me 163 still suffered pitch issues at lower speeds when going in for landings,

No they actually have poor pitch stability mathematically speaking which these days can be augmented with fly by wire so the pilot probably has to be really attentive at all times when flying something so vintage. That being said I don’t know anything about this particular aircraft.

Flying wings in general have problems with pitch. But a control failure would also be fatal with the lack of any backup controls.

“and without it, he’s now threatening to close the border entirely.”

Quite sad how the race went from spending money along the route for humanitarian projects to racing for the highest bidder.
