I bet. Back when she was there the MPs or Marines usually ran ppl off the hill at night. Definitely not supposed to be there back then.

Actually you did back 40 years ago. The whole project was labeled Top Secret. No one went near the hanger unless you were in the program and it was guarded 24/7 a number of Marines. It only took off and landed at night. The CIA was very touchy on this back then.

My mom was stationed at Kadena way back during the Vietnam War. She worked in radio traffic interception listening in on the Russians. A couple of her friends and herself would go to this hill that overlooked the airfield and watch the planes take off. One night when they decided to go there. That’s when they saw it.…

Do we have any idea if the Navy is moving more assets into the area? One ship seems like a small token.

Actually no. Just read a lot and watch a lot of stuff on the subject. Aerodynamics has always been of interest.

The cars that have taken flight at Le Mans in the past and recently in other races all stems from one issue and its not low downforce setups. The car is designed so that the body work literally sucks the car to the track. Once you upset this balance by going over a crest or small hump in the road the aerodynamics work…

Or stupidity...

Its not a bad car at all just not enough to compete with the likes of the GTI, Focus ST and other hot hatchbacks today. I thought to myself I still cant believe they only increased the HP rating like 2-4 HP from the previous gen... This was after I taught a local high schooler that he shouldn’t rev his new SI at my…

He looks rather bored....

While this is a great technological achievement its also very worrying. Not in the sense that its going to take over the world ala SkyNet but that once you remove the human loss from warfare you also remove the moral implications and loss of life involved with starting a war. It becomes something you don’t dread and…

My 08 had the exact same thing when I leased it.

So one removes this system if they intend to drift. Sounds like under normal driving its probably pretty effective.

Hagerty is an excellent company. The company I work for has “dealings” with them...

I was watching the new this morning and there were three clips of interviews that they were showing, one of the President saying they were their to send a clear message, one of the State Dept person saying that they were not there to enforce anything at all and one of the head of WH press dept person who refused to…

The one thing that I really don’t like about the new Golf lineup....no cloth seats. WHY?!?! I don’t want fake leather....

That was a Hellcat? You’re shiting me...

what about the heat and noise?

Wish more F&I people were like this. More than likely the F&I people aren’t paid off of of what they can sell. The dealers that I worked at the sales people and F&I people for kick backs for every warranty and other add on they sold. That’s what causes them to be pushy with the warranties, they want the kick back.

MEDIC!!!

You were in my neck of the woods. I work on the other side of Richmond and live around 10 min from the RIC airport.
