That makes it even cooler.

It wouldn't be classified as a kei car if it had more than 67 horsepower if I remember right, if it's not a kei car it loses all the tax breaks in the Japanese market. I wouldn't expect to see them over on this side of the ocean, but during my time in Japan and Okinawa I always thought the Beats and Cappuccinos were…

With how much torque? A snowmobile weighs significantly less than a car.

I would think the reliability might take a dive if you double the output of the motor.

Pardon?

There are still some aircraft in the US military arsenal that use propellers. Like the C-130

I don't know why some people give Jay crap about owning so many cars. He works on them. He's knowledgeable about them. He takes care of them. He always loves his wife first. He's an all around nice guy. Props to Jay for being successful.

Your sound of freedom can't actually be heard. The TU95 is the loudest aircraft ever made and its successors like the An70 are banned in many countries due to noise restrictions.

TU95 Bear > Internet Patriotism

He is a died-in-the-wool car guy. Not only does he show up at all kinds of car events with some amazing pieces of machinery from his collection, but he also will actually talk with other car people about pretty much anything car related. I honestly don't know how he does it, because I think I would go insane from…

The Russians have nothing on the B-2, but they have more than just Tu-95 "Bear" turboprops. The Tu-22M and Tu-160 "Blackjack" come to mind. The Tu-22M is a "theater" bomber and is pretty much inferior to the B-1 in every way except for speed, but the Tu-160 is basically a bigger B-1 that flies faster, carries more,…

Fastest propeller driven aircraft.... Basically the same speed as a B52... Basically the same range too. I would not be putting the bear down...

That can be said for any aircraft. If you fly low and slow, you're a flying target.

I can concur that sentiment. I live about 2 miles from MCAS New River and you can feel them fly over as they will shake the house. One of our cats will hide behind the couch because she thinks it is the vacuum cleaner being used.

"poorly executed powerslide" is the preferred nomenclature.

I think of a burnout as a relatively stationary, straight line exercise. That was more like a bad drift. One thing you definitely don't do is practice drifting in the middle of a crowd. He's lucky he didn't hurt anyone...

Agree with the Ram brand completely, it's just confusing for no reason. I still refer to them as Dodge. They've always had a weird, everchanging role with vans and trucks. Sprinter is a key example, from Freightliner to Dodge to Mercedes in just a few years.

The Ram brand still seems silly, and Promaster seems like a really stupid name. I wish they'd just be called Dodge Doblo over here. (and Dodge Ducato as well). The passenger version of the Doblo should be the new Caravan

There is no chance that this program will get cancelled. The Echo airframe is life-limited and need an expensive SLEP program to continue flying for an extended period. The need for heavy lift aircraft is so great that all of the 53s were pulled from HMX and sent out to the fleet. The Deltas are being phased out and…

The King Stallion (crappy name!)
