@Alfisted: Damn you, you stole my idea! Ha ha ha... :)

@TheAntiCat: Ewe just had to ram that one in there, didn't you? You can't pull the wool over my eyes — I see how you're trying to fleece everyone in this entire flock.

@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: Perhaps the most morbid HC I'll ever give on this site...

@TheAntiCat: Sorry for the probable ad first, but...

@$kaycog: Looks like FoMoCo found a way to solve torque steer!

This reminds me of that old joke...

@lordofstrife: Yep — all of that is my doing. I guess my pent-up rage about "over-square" engines (anyone who knows about piston engines in airplanes will get that reference) had to come out. Seriously, Cadillac, 270 HP but only 223 pound-feet of torque in the 3.0 CTS? And at 5,700 RPM?

I have a friend named Torque. He's a good friend of mine, and in the past we always shared plenty of laughs. Today, though, he's...changed.

@tonyola: And when I say "these" below, I mean all of the GM C- and H-body cars from 85-97 like yours and mine....but I think you know me well enough by now to know that. :)

@tonyola: I. Miss. These.

@LandofMinos. Wonders why F1 has a garden gnome walking around shaking hands before each race: I actually drove a CVT for the second time today. My first was in a Dodge Caliber, and today I drove a Nissan Sentra. The Sentra was fairly impressive, and if all CVTs performed similarly, then I wouldn't mind having one…

Greetings! It is I, the Count. They call me the Count because I love to count things. In fact, I am looking for some things to count right now.

@revdrkevind: Yeah, but in the first picture above, the plane is turning right — that probably threw them off.

Avay-o.

I had a hunch there was a second shooter on that grassy knoll.

Sounds like I need to make a trip to the coast this weekend.....

Federalization my ass. I'm sick and tired of hearing that excuse. I've always hoped that the sealed-beam headlight debacle would spur on some international standardization protocols, but I guess not.

This set reminds me of one we have at home. My grandfather worked for NASA in Huntsville (building test stands and other such structures) and over the years he gathered all sorts of neat photos and other memorabilia from the time. I absolutely love looking through it, and I got the same feeling flipping through some…

@Brian: Cogito Ergo ZOOM!: I'm going to go out on a limb here since I didn't look at every single photo, but I can probably say within a decent margin of error that the B-52 is the only machine in the collection still flying today.
