Maybe Engineering diverted emergency power to the impulse drives at the right moment to escape a Romulan warbird attack.

The license plate on that is rather ironic!

And they could be unmanned drone Nighthawks. You know, the FAA can't enforce the drone ban if they can't even detect them :)

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

I'll have to check them out someday when I end up with a proper gaming rig! Right now making do with office laptops that somehow came with discreet GPUs - they are good for retro gaming and reviewing PC versions of mobile games but won't handle anything more complex than X-Com on minimal settings!

Same here! Come to think of it many of those games are still runnable on my old office laptops with 32-bit operating systems.

You know what would be more insane? A trike with a 'front gunner' seat. A friend of mine drives a Can Am Spyder, one of these pictured below, and I joked the frunk is actually large enough for someone small to sit in. Just rip off the frunk lid, lop off the legs of an el-cheapo plastic chair and stick the seat in.…

I think astronaut or fighter pilot training and G-Suits will be required at F1 speeds with spectators following the action on maglev sleds.

I bet all those lateral Gs is like riding a subway driven by someone with no prior training and with the propensity to emergency brake for no reason every few hundred yards (as it is now in Singapore).

Let's equip these spectator sleds with Maglev technology allowing them to keep pace with the action at Formula One speeds!

What could possibly go wrong?

I'd imagine the alien agents sent to live amongst the human population are secretly amused at the ineptness of our large scale automotive industries. Aside from making snide remarks at all our reliance on such barbaric concepts as "internal combustion" and complete lack of counter-gravity capable vehicles.

I've seen my fair share of cars and bikes with badly rusted brake discs from sitting there too long. Other parts of the brake system may be affected by corrosion as well.

Ha! Good observation!
I guess I got too far into the spirit of "throwback Thursday!"

I tried to make a 'nemesis' to your US Navy fighter plane (dark blue!) and the most striking result I could get was a bright yellow Luftwaffe Fw-190.

I'll have one in pink with two round holes in the grille - making it a Pigati Baycon!

Wild angry kitty!

Like a cat pouncing.

Indeed.

The awesomeness of 16 cylinders, four turbochargers and enough radiators to cool down a nuclear reaction is completely self-explanatory. It's an engineering marvel and rolling art piece all in one, and should be appreciated as it is.
