That’d be an escalation after Man from U.N.C.L.E. 

And as many jump jets as that chassis can carry.

To be extra-nerdy and persnickety, the water isn’t the fuel, but only the propellant. The water merely provides the reaction mass to throw the rocket in the opposite direction of the water jet, while the compressed air provides the actual energy that gets converted into this momentum. Separating the roles of…

Spatial awareness, that’s what it’s called.

When I switch from a narrow car to a wider one, my sense of the car’s dimensions gets thrown off and I’ve curbed more than my fair share of wheels as a result. The most egregious example I’ve experienced was scraping the front right wheel for a full 10 feet after a mis-judged left turn. In my defense, going from a…

He needs to follow the paths of Vin, The Rock, and Arnie and do a kiddie comedy movie. His scene with the baby in F8 felt like an audition tape for that genre.

You’d be surprised how many ships have design flaws like this. Some German warships in WWII had fragile sterns that completely fell off post-torpedoing.

Just a bit.

It’s weird, each phase of Saab has been really different from the previous one, so I can completely understand. It’s definitely a big change from the classic 900, and in turn going from that to a GM-chassis 9-3 or 9-5 is also pretty drastic. 

Kinda, also it’s when UK school exam results drop.

Ouch. I should be offended, but it’s a non-Aero, so that’s fine.

Meh. For that price I’d rather get a 2003-upward one if you can find one, removing it from the sludge danger zone that was the early 9-5.

They didn’t let you build pneumatics? That blows.

Love Strandbeests. Saw the exhibition when they visited Salem, MA and realized that they’re basically mechanical transistors, with their valves doing the same jobs as and/or/nor gates in processing signals. Introductory computer science classes should use them as literal object lessons.

So I’ve heard, and you’re one more data point to support that statement. Makes me hesitant to do too much to my B205 9-3; I may get the bolt-ons for stage 3 but only upgrade the ECU to stage 2 to keep the stresses down.

Damn; I had a stage 3 tune on my 9000 Aero and it’s still running strong in the hands of its next owner. Good to know what to not do with a B235.

Especially right now with Costco because they have 1-cent installation on top of their usual $70 off of a set of Bridgestones, so right off the bat you’re saving a ton.

Unf, dat V6. 

Sludge? I have an ‘02 9-3 as my daily and it’s just ticked over 140k with an open-checkbook previous life, so I’m the alternate scenario of what could happen with an older Saab. Up until Feb. of this year I was dailying a 9000 with 246k miles at the point I sold it, so I am definitely an outlier.
