God, I can smell the photos. I don’t even want to know what kind of parking lot swinging at the Foxfire this has been up to. 

Friend is a strong term lol ex-coworker and acquaintance/financial advisor takes way too long to type out hahaha 

“pretty sure she’s doing of” lol based on what, exactly? 

I quite literally had to debunk in real time when I saw a friend posted shite like this online. Like, a 2 second google search proved him wrong and he still was trying to say it happened. It’s bonkers. 

you’re white knuckling those pearls you’re clutching. nobody is saying loss of life isn’t sad, but this guy obviously didn’t lose anyone and, in the face of a lifechanging event, looking at a positive.

American airlines don’t generally dick around with maintenance tbh

I used to work with a company who did titanium investment casting and forging for aircraft landing gear, and they had one of, if not, the largest forge in the western hemisphere. The strength of these parts is bonkers, so whatever happened must be pretty fucked u

Other than the super super weird like young girls dressed like animals, Best Motoring is amazing

Neat!

Yeah, honestly, I wanted to feel the same but a quick google of Van’s Aircraft RV-10 shows you something that looks like just about every other small plane I’ve ever seen at the nearby airfield.

I feel like just about everyone involved in F1 is *Supposed* to be there, but Zak Brown is just happy to be there.

The other one that comes to mind is the current head of McLaren. Dude won the Price is Right, use that money to buy a go-kart, then never looked back. 

I watched most of the video yesterday and the only thing I could keep thinking was what a regular dude this Dicker guy seemed like.
