Yay I made front page again. I am the most famous person I know. Unfortunately I am also the (un)lucky new owner of this POS. After spending nearly 2 hours today filling up 2 garbage bags full of trash that was left in the car by the previous owner I got some better pics of the mystery device.
Sure looks like a Blow and Go thingy’ma jig for DWI drivers. Old car so maybe they just had to do a “CUSTOM” job.
I truly found a human tooth with filling wedged between the dash and the windshield in my red 318is when I pulled the windshield to do the headliner. Text to girlfriend “found tooth in e30 :(“
I have one just like it. It’s a Turbo Encabulator.
That was the original version. In this version power is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance, not with a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing.
That’s the ambifascient wainshaft of an digitally synchronized gram meter.
Hard to tell when it’s been inversely mounted, as such.

The flight engineer looks a little under the weather there; hope he kept it all down. Some people here mention that it looks like not a big deal. The problem is the wind is only stratified and at speed but there are unpredictable vortices in the walls. NOAA 43 took a lot of Gs and made it through for being tough. It…
Nice pic of both hurricane hunting planes from NOAA
A guy from my office was on that plane. His father was killed in a lightening strike yesterday in PR. God bless those pilots for being able to get him home.
This is not a big deal, as long as the airport was safe in terms of wind sheer and cross winds then there is no real safety issue. NOAA flies WP-3D Orions from the 1970s and the Air Force flies WC-130s through Hurricanes, including into the eye throughout the worst parts of the storms. the 737-900er is more capable of…
If you were on this flight, please contact Jalopnik before finding shelter. Also, make sure you include a Verrit code so we know you’re story is true.

I’m fucked. This hurricane is coming to rape Florida and judging from the path on the news, it’s coming straight for me. Oh well, nice knowing y’all.
Are they still flying the P3 Orions? Damn great aircraft.
Picked them up on radar around 10:30 pm last night flying through the storm.
The NOAA Hurricane Hunters could very well be one of America’s most unsung heroes.
I’m a C-130 pilot and although I don’t and have never flown for the Hunters I have a friend who flys for them. The wind speed in the hurricane isn’t a huge deal as it isn’t unusual to encounter 200+ knot winds at altitude but it’s usually constant and in the same direction. In a storm the winds are obviously gusty…
