Thank you for mentioning Steve Ferrone, the guy is a monster. In addition to anchoring Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers for a time, he played with Clapton on 24 Nights, nailing the whole thing down, and remains an inspiration to my own drumming.

All of my wants for the Vista Cruiser wagon, that is too cool. While I’m at it, I’ll have the Sulam UrQ as well.

Ferrari the Ferrari would like a word.

Rental car battle. It is the only way.

This is especially damning because the article was very clearly titled about getting it up.

Mine’s air cooled, problem solved!

Probably, yes. There’s nothing happening out there.

They probably did. They’d have to drive across miles of farmland to get on anywhere else, the base is in the middle of damn nowhere.

As I would expect for my tax dollars. There’s a lot of really important and expensive shit in there, including personnel, that randos shouldn’t have easy access to. But Lemoore is so damn sleepy that some kook in a Jeep running the gate couldn’t be further from the imagination, and in so doing they exposed a…

The gate guards themselves likely couldn’t have done anything directly but sound the alarm, so to speak. But it’s not like it’s just a chain link fence and you’re on the base. There are several layers of security failure here, probably because nothing ever happens out there.

Don’t know myself, but wouldn’t be at all surprised if not.

It’s the least I can do for you, thanks for bringing us such amazing imagery from the places we can’t be.

Yep, or out to sea. I see 18s overhead at the coast pretty regularly.

I wondered about that, thanks for clarifying. I'm a civilian so I've never been anywhere near the flightline and didn't want to speak up without firsthand knowledge. I've been through there so many damn times that I had to suspect that it wasn't hiding a lake and more trees than are in the whole Valley. GIS shows…

NAS Lemoore is quite possibly the most unassuming Naval base on the planet, it’s surrounded by farmland and taquerias. This was probably the most exciting thing that’s happened there (I mean, other than flight ops) in some time. No wonder the gate staff was caught unawares.

Anyone suggesting anything that is not a prewar racing car is wrong.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the FIA Passport system is full of holes. The existence and ongoing production of “continuation” cars with magically found “old” chassis numbers, and their subsequent rubber-stamp for vintage competition is all that needs to be said about that. I don’t mind that they exist, or even…

Hahahaha, disposable income! That’s a good one. Good thing I kept my old sets, which my kids can now enjoy.
