Definitely an afterthought, I considered the lid option. I found that the storage in the console was useless and noisy as I predominately drive mountain and canyon roads. The console cupholders only get used when my son and I go out for lunch (he HAS to get a large drink to go).

Yeah, I ended up with one of these. Slips into the cupholder and can be shifted into several positions.

The U-234 citation is in reference to:

Dropping the oxide to the ocean floor would have been preferable to spreading it over the South Pacific or Nevada.

Unfortunately, U-238 was sunk on 9 Feb. 1944 and U-235 on 14 April 1945. So neither was available or large enough for the mission.

U-234 was sent to Japan with 540 kg of uranium oxide aboard. The sub surrendered as ordered by Adm. Doenitz on the May 10th of 1945. So, Fascists were helping Imperialists to build the bomb.... Unfortunately, that uranium was used by the US for bomb production.

I’m surprised that it took the Luftwaffe almost 2 months to retaliate for the May 15th RAF bombing of Germany.

Never tried the 1 or 2 coupes - were they on the market in 2012? Maybe I’ll look at them when the BRZ bores me.

No roof will give a roomier feel! I never feel claustrophobic on a bike - cramped on the rice-rockets though...

Wierd, I got the BRZ because I couldn’t fit in the S2000 or Miata. What’s the difference between quite cramped and can’t fit?

45k miles and counting - no issues other than on my 4th set of tires. I’ll probably put a supercharger on when the warranty expires - more low end torque would be nice. Here is the BRZ in its natural envionment - Big Tujunga Canyon, north of LA...

Buckys Dymaxion - rear wheel steering, FWD , shaped like a suppository and totally out of synch with its time.

Always been partial to a Baja’d Ghia...

Scarcity of material in wartime....

The swept (and delta) wing had a lot of low speed stall problems early on. Stall/wing fences saved many of these designs - the Saab has one mid-wing. The Mig-15 had 3 per wing.

Looks like an offshoot of the Messerschmitt P.1011

Yes - I was a Heinlein junkie as a kid.

Fascist tech sharing with Reds says differently.

Wow, I must be old as the phrase ‘That’s a Bozo No No’ is used at least weekly around my staff.

I bought the issue when it came out but, unfortunately have since lost it. VW demanded a retraction (using their logo without autho) - it was:
