My dad was an executive engineer during Jacques tenure. All of the brits refused to call any engineer an "executive" so they started calling all of them "managers". He and his British cronies were pompous morons that cared more about the prowess and social status of a luxury brand than actually building quality cars.…

I love the assumption of immense speed implied by the almost complete lack of rearward visibility.

And yet congress cancelled the CG(X)...

Kirov Class Battle Cruiser: The World's Largest Surface Target

I gotta go with the P-61 Black Widow. It's like a B-25 and P-38 got together and made this hunk of sexy weirdness.

I LOVE the Beechcraft Starship (top). Too bad they failed to sell.

Anytime you have a plane that has NO windows, you got something truly odd looking. It is also deceptively big. without a reference point is is hard to tell how truly massive this plane is.

Because two propellers are better than one. Note: only one Do 335 survives today and you can see it at the National Air and Space Museum annex outside of Dulles. Its an elegant monster, not unlike the A-10.

One of my favorite flying boats. Incredible plane with a very interesting history.

Any of the Ekranoplanes

Easy! PZL M-15 Belphegor, the world's first agricultural jet. And worst.

The asymmetrical (but completely airworthy ) Blohm und Voss BV 141.

Under his watch, Ford bought Volvo and Land Rover, put Firestone tires on Explorers and spent billions on turning the world's most profitable car company into a consumer-products and services venture. Idiot.

A buddy of mine in college works for one of the Big Three. We were both mech eng students and he landed a job I was so jealous about. I was older (spent six years in the military) and pretty much had little chance of landing a college age kids position out of school. It wasn't just this company, I ran into this a lot.…

Bahar was a disastrous hire to begin with. He wasn't a car guy at all, just some smarmy "brand manager" who was in WAY over his head.

The Lotus Indycar effort perfectly embodies all the traits of Dany Bahar.

A stab of the throttle on cold tires equals a ruined front end on this yellow bull. It happens. So, if you're a Diablo owner, please please please don't crash it. We need your rear drive V12 wonderment to survive for decades to come.

Judging by the fact that the guy was rollin doors open, I am almost positive he is just a d-bag who can't drive.
