Maintenance is a separate issue, but there’s a reason why the R44 is the most popular piston helicopter sold today. 

And this is based on what? Maybe you should wait until the NTSB/FAA does its investigation.

Would you have accepted something snarkier like Earth’s gravity maintains its perfect record?  

What is life without risk? 

My first bike (of many) was a ‘74 Suzuki GT380; a 2-stroke triple that ran like a scalded cat and was just as fast as my friend’s Kawi KZ750. I can’t imagine what a 2-stroke 750cc would be like. 

Too many red flags. Buying this car makes as much sense as sticking your pecker in a box with a rabid bobcat inside and taunting it.

I’m sure there’s some MMA dude in Israel who’d show this jackass the error of his ways for a small chunk of that crowdfunding money. 

It must vary by state then; many states don’t allow any film on the windshield. 

Meh, semantics. The Karman line was just invented to sell t-shirts and coffee mugs. 

I’m a fan..

How do you innovate 100+ year old ICE technology? I’d think Mazda’s SCCI technology is taking the gas piston engine as far as it can go. What’s beyond that?

Well, there IS that new 9,000lb(!) Hummer EV coming. It might qualify to pay its own road tax.

Florida Man would like a word..

I’d think an LS would be a better choice here, but the 3-speed trans is curious. From 1983-on the 928 had a 4 speed autobox, so not sure why it was swapped. 

Is meth pipe more acceptable then? 

Yup. I asked about it when I had the windows done on my last car, and they said nope. I think they told me it’s a state law, no film on the windshield. But if it’s not a tinted film what’s the problem? Or for that matter, who’d even know?

Who leaves a job on a Tuesday?

Reminds me of an incident from many moons ago when I was in the RI Army National Guard. One of our HEMTT cargo trucks lost a wheel driving back from annual training and it took out the front end of some lady’s Toyota. Just completely obliterated it; these things weigh a few hundred pounds. It was a miracle nobody got…

Great idea if it’s not illegal. Maybe a clear film so not to get stopped? 

There was never any danger of the cabin door being opened in flight due to the cabin pressure sealing it against the door frame. But 8-year-old me is picturing the FA with the coffee pot screaming “HERE’S YOUR DECAF MOTHERFUCKER” ::whack:: ::bonk::
