Old cars don't have enough brake for modern traffic. Saying that, in 1939, I could build a 32 Ford roadster with them newfangled juice brakes.

Ironically, Tony Rudd claims they were trying to simplify their lives by bootstrapping what they knew from their very good 1500cc V8.

A liar is a liar. He's just a well paid liar.

The "work" she could do to pay for her flying, instead of promoting her own fame, might allow her to buy a ticket on a commercial flight once a year after she covered her living expenses. A plane like an Electra was $50K—$100K in 1930's dollars.

I could do it. It's comfortable enough, driveable in modern traffic, etc. If upgrades are allowed, I'd have modern engine power and AC.

Back in the day, Bob Cumberford says he prototyped a 289 Ford swap and pitched it to Volvo a la Tiger and Cobra.

Germany dedicated the needed resources to air production. As a percentage of the military budget, aircraft were a higher priority for Germany than the allies. Germany's problem was pilots:

I think it's great looking.

This level of service is what you get with most $60K purchases. The difference is that Tesla doesn't have local dealers and local experienced techs to subcontract it. If your Escalade doesn't start, Cadillac can have it flatbedded to the dealer's shop instead of flying an experienced mechanic from Michigan and…

Did he play for some other team after he left Florida?

A man who is secure with himself could buy a sweet Miata.

Hickory Farms usually has huge discounts on their online products immediately after christmas, if you aren't fussy about the kind of stuff you eat.

As a nice evening out, that's a decent deal for someone who wants to do it.

IIRC, the Pres actually was a qualified pilot, tho I don't know exactly how you qualify to take on an artificial moon with a plane carrying a few air to air missiles. Failure of the mission probably meant the end of the nation-state anyway, so he'd be the President of Nothing.

There's nothing particularly wrong with the Ford guts currently used in Lincolns, but there's no compelling reason to buy a Ford with "Ford" scribbled out and "Lincoln" written over it.

We're already headed that way with the top 40 football schools, more or less, choosing the teams that will join them in their superconferences. After that, the basketball schools will settle into other conferences. The NCAA is powerless to control the financial operations of the big football schools.

The state of Indiana shouldn't have 3 of 64 slots.

I think they should throw a great party with the money and send UMD pictures of it.

I remember Sniff Petrol's headline summary of McRae's Dakar run: "McRae crashes into only tree in Africa."
