3.) $25 Million Chinook Rotors Are Held To Body With Two Jesus Nuts

It would appear that I don't pay attention! I'll still take that Jack Daniels, though!

Freudian Slip much?

It may actually be a 180 degree V12 like the later Testa Rossa. Would need to see the crank to be sure...

If I find one... I'm gonna hoard it for myself!

Duct tape and self-tapping screws!

I've been fascinated by these things for years! Thanks for making me want one even more... jerk!

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH

It's beautiful, isn't it!

My nominee is a day late... but awesome nonetheless. The Rocketdyne F-1 (and a bonus Olds):

It sank. We sank it. Sorry, world :(

Plus, bomb proof. Like... it might actually be. I'm too afraid to try on mine (I don't want to waste a perfectly good bomb).

We love the XJ and the XJ is 'Murica. Stand down... mate.

I didn't realize they were that clean. That's definitely important! Sounds like the shape of the engine type probably means it will need to have a vehicle designed around it, like a Tesla battery pack? You guys should write an article about it on Oppo!

They're so cool looking and... German!

Awesome! I've seen a few opposed piston concepts and they always seem pretty cool. Besides them being pure engineering porn, what's the advantage? Power to weight?

This Callaway truck probably has a water-to-air intercooler, which means part of the equation is also how well you can move air through that additional low-temp-radiator out front. Also, since there is now an intercooler coolant loop, the thermal mass of that coolant must be considered. I'm a thermal systems

So a 10 degree rise over ambient really isn't that spectacular... especially considering the basically unlimited packaging space available in a truck. Not sure I'd be bragging about that, Reeves.

I suppose it beats the defending champion, Merkur Scorpio...

Now THAT is what a Navy bomb truck is supposed to look like!
