I have an image as this being like the Giant blobs in the lakes, and  would be subject to abuse.

I’ve got a raging clue right now

Thinking about it, if you put a 2 of the guys from my work in the front, you would need a wheelie bar in the front.

All I think is “Saturday morning cartoon vehicle” when I see this. Like Scooby and Daphne are going to step out and solve a crime.

I think I’m in love.. but it makes me kind of nervous to say so

I lived in Pittsburgh, briefly, in an older house. The foundation wasn’t a rectangle - in fact none of the outer walls were parallel to each other, I guess they followed the outline of the lot. So inside there were lots of weirdly angled walls and bizarre architectural flourishes to disguise the fact that the walls

7 more seconds? Well now I’m definitely not buying one used in 15 years.

Yeah, he just needs to pull those bootstraps just a little bit harder!

How about more Targas in general. It’s this...or the Miata RF.

Am I the only one who wishes it was just a removable panel?  Not everything needs a complicated powered mechanism.

It’s always interesting to look at the aircraft data sheets from back then. There’s a fair amount of variation even for a single aircraft just because of environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, air pressure. Plus, even the pilots flying style could make a percentage in range. Things like carburetors or

Something about the Zero that isn’t talked about a lot is the insane range it had. The long range fighter of WW-2 that everyone thinks about is the P-51. The range of a P-51 is 1650 miles with drop tanks. The range of the Zero was 1929 miles, or nearly 300 miles further than the P-51.

Maybe the owner had been shot down by one and this was his revenge.

Here’s one of TWO airworthy A6M zeros left in the world (both in the USA). Next to one of 12 P-40Ns still flying. They did a mock dogfight. With how rare these birds are, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
