I flew out of john Wayne or Burbank whenever possible. So much better.

The Herk's ability to remain slow but not too slow. One of the cautionary notes is not to let indicated airspeed drop below 105 knots, because the drogue that stabilizes the hose will droop. A CH-53 is a 40-ton Cuisinart, and the main rotors get incredibly close when the hose is in refueling range. (When you run out…

I suddenly remembered how much I need this to be my everyday reality:

Washington Dulles International Airport

Who buys a car like this for its offroad capabilities? It’s all about its perceived image and/or sparing the worn out hip joints.

how is this a pedestrian overpass?

Speedway Motors drops a video every year, right before the season starts, of the previous year's SCCA Autocross Nationals. If you have any interest at all in AX, these will get you PUMPED.

Richard Hammond driving an F1 car. Gives an interesting overview on how complex F1 machinery is .

I travel with a water bottle anyway. I like that many airports now have these too, an easy way to fill the bottle.

They even have these fancy deals at airports now, so you don't have to do the annoying low-water-pressure tilt & wait.

Take an empty water bottle or two and fill them at a water fountain after the TSA checkpoint. Problem solved. As for the bar, I will pay the grossly inflated alcohol prices because I'm an airport junkie and like drinking at the airport. I'll get a longer layover just so I can sit and sip my expensive beer. Hell, beers…

... I hope you went to the SoCo "ghetto" HEB.

Sick burn there. Really, top work.

He did say he was "just asked to do the interview".

Only if they're electric, and don't forget about the power lift gate that "works" by swiping your foot under the bumper...

I fee bad for Richard and James. They don't deserve to have their show canceled.

So many, extra commas.

I've never worked with him, but being difficult to work with and being generous aren't mutually exclusive. He could certainly be both.

I say they air the cancelled episodes with Hammond or May filling in for Clarkson's studio parts just to see how it goes. I'm getting bored with Clarkson's antics anyways. Maybe they should do a few episodes without him in at all just to see how it works.

At speeds less than 30 MPH, the Regera will run on electric power alone. At speeds above 30 MPH, the internal combustion engine comes into play thanks to a hydraulic coupling that acts like a clutch, but only slips a tiny bit. Most of the time it is locked. This sounds similar in concept to a torque converter.
