Around here, most of the ambulances have a red and yellow striped rear like the one pictured. In my hometown, it’s even more dramatic — they do the striping over the entire rear, including the doors. It stands out very well; unfortunately, it’s just on the rear.

Are they preventing him from coming through the drive-through in a car? No? Then what’s the problem?

Nice! I recently added a discriminator tap to my Uniden BC246T, which allows a program like Unitrunker to grab all sorts of interesting info about a trunked radio system.

Tangential to this, but just as an FYI to those interested in flight tracking, anyone with a radio capable of picking up the proper frequencies (police scanner, rtlsdr, etc) can pull ACARS data from plans within range using software like acarsd.

Taught my high school girlfriend how to drive on my MGB GT. The hydraulic clutch in it is easy to use. Last I checked, she still drives a manual to this day.

Came to post the Sia version, glad to see you beat me to it. It really is an excellent version of the song.

The Redbull team has a lot of other revenue streams, though.

There’s actually a Benny Hillifier; unfortunately the speedup isn’t working.

Is this Johnny T narrating?

Andrew S White took one on an adventure somewhat recently. Good read, good video:

That, and if you tell people 3 nice things, and one negative thing, an hour later they’ll only remember the negative.

This is for you:

My dad drove a 26ft, 1978 Winnebego Brave into DC with 4 kids (and mom) back in the late 80s as we took a cross-country trip. I have few recollections of driving in DC (I was pretty young), but he did it.

Reminds me of the story Jay Leno tells of driving his Morgan 3-wheeler. He rounds a corner at breakneck speeds, and sees a cop. So he pulls over, because obviously the cop will want to ticket him for such reckless driving. But the cop doesn’t budge. So he walks over to him (when you’re a celebrity, you can do that…

And Chrissie Beavis is a rally veteran. Those two ladies comprise a formidable team.

The fine print at the bottom of the screen in the various scenes are fantastic.
