The oily bit of the Great White North. Alberta. There was a jet landing at a nearby airport, but I could’ve sworn it was about to land on my head.

It’s going to hit -38° here tonight. It’s so cold that the air has changed density and sound is teavelling through it differently. Even at this point, this looks like the dumbest possible shit anyone could think of. Okay, maybe not the absolute dumbest. We had a customer light a fire under their car to warm up the…

A lot of people eat Big Macs, but they’re still shit.

The lesson here is about over-engineering. It tripped up the Germans in ww2 and the US in Vietnam. Over-engineered weapons cost more, break down more often and are almost invariably in shorter supply.

True, but the operating and maintenance costs for this unnecessarily complex and pointless aircraft could be directed elsewhere with greater effect.

OH MY GAWD! Scrap the VTOL variant, simplify the helmet and focus on making a workable aircraft. For fuck’s sake this thing has become massively ridiculous.

I’m simply not impressed when someone 3D prints something, especially if the files were available. If they had designed and made something new and/or unique, it would be an achievement. As it is, it’s simply mimicry and model making.

I like it, even if it’s a bit (okay a lot) overpriced. You guys are old and just don’t understand what us young people are about.

It looks like a gen 4 Camaro fucked an AMC Pacer, while an Infiniti J30 watched.

Why couldn’t this have been the F50, rather than the flawed, plasticky, soft cornered, 1990s video game looking thing they sold? The headlights are still icky, but the rest of the car looks much more purposeful.

Let’s not forget, Hammond suffered a rather severe brain injury from which he’ll never fully recover. Perhaps his frozen treat lobe was affected.

Harley’s aren’t very good. AMF era Harleys are to be avoided, no matter how cheap.

Second Gear: Boo! I kinda wanted a diesel that’s not a truck next.

Most drum brakes are easy to replace. Sure, sometimes you’ve go to work a little to get the drum off, but I’ve done some supremely pain in the ass disc brakes, too.

If it was a 302 that was built to rev and had the right bits backing it up, maybe. If it had a good EFI conversion, not the weird Rd looking Ford crap, maybe. If the engine were aluminum, instead of cast iron ballast, absolutely.

Ten months?! Was this a coffee break (morning one only) project?

The company should be renamed Weasel. They never want to comply with any rule, anywhere. When they piloted the service here, the cars were not properly insured, the drivers not properly license, several vehicles were unfit for use and they refused to pay any fees whatsoever.

Are we sure this guy isn’t a Canadian that slipped south of the border before we build a wall to keep Trump out? We do this kind of shit. The advantage is that your beer stays cold.

Starred for dredging up an ancient post and understanding it’s fully talented prose-like fuckery.

Okay. VanVan - bikes in th the 70s, did not tend to have big, fat rear tires. They were generally equal in size on most bikes, including your average schmoe’s chopper. Also, that massive, ugly exhaust pipe would have been dripping in low quality chrome and rust spots.
