In 2009 The Horsemen Flight Team hooked up with the Blue Angels at an air show. The Horsemen were flying the F8F Bearcat which was the second aircraft flown by the Blue Angels. Besides their own demonstration flight they did some flying with the current Blue Angels in the formation. They also brought the last living…
Danny MacAskill and Claudio Caluori in one video? This is good stuff.
Speed skier crashes at over 200 kph (120 mph). It’s crazy watching the ski just delaminate as it comes off.
Today is the last day if you want to order one of these.
The local Ford dealer called today. They have a new head coming from Ford and should receive it within the next day or so. Apparently someone at Ford figured out that they’d better get my car fixed before they end up buying it back. Frankly at this point I don’t trust the car to survive a 20 mile trip, so I was hoping…
Turns out cylinders tend to misfire when the fucking valves don’t seal because they’re bent. On the plus side there is a 99% chance I’m taking this car and shoving it up the dealers ass, but on the down side I’m out one damn fine 2007 STi and one nice shiny new but cursed 2017 FoRS. Waiting on the flat bed to come…
What a day. It started with a part that had been machined by a local shop. They’ve been jacking us around lately and doing piss poor work. The last three jobs they’ve done have been shit and they’ve basically told us to piss off. First thing this morning I show up with both pieces of the part they had machined for us.
So last week I dropped my FoRS off for the headgasket TSB. They called me up Tuesday and said it was ready. Two hours later they called me back saying after a test drive it threw a CEL, so don’t bother coming to pick it up. This morning they called to say it was ready so I picked it up at lunch time. It cranked for a…
Off the coast of Somalia...
Why did you decide that it should take two clicks to get back to the account summary screen? Seriously, it should take on click to get from an account detail view to the summary view. Did you just lock a bunch of drunk monkeys in a room and tell them to develop your UI. It is horrible and getting worse every time you…
Audi manages the rare feat of making a cool car commercial. Though it doesn’t actually feature any cars.
Just picked up Dirt 4 for $30 with Live Gold. It’s like $35ish if you don’t have Gold. Forza 7 is on sale for about 20% off. Lots of deals if you’re looking to pick up some new Xbox games.
WRC puts out some excellent videos. Here is the aerial special from Wales Rally GB.
Trying to arrange shipment for a customer and he sent me an email. In comic sans. Really? Seriously? GTFAC.
It is a very blue and truly excellent thing. A month later and I still giggle when it pops and crackles. Since it needed to be broken in and then the weather turned I haven’t really abused it, nor do I actually intend to. I can tell you that it is fast, pointy, relatively comfortable and completely awesome.
My wife’s Explorer is kind of a mess. After running it through the touchless car wash yesterday I clay barred the bugs off the front of it in preparation for wax. On the hood there is some nastiness that didn’t come off with the clay bar. Looks to be tree sap, bird crap and/or bug crap. There are also tiny specks of…
NFG tire as buffer image to represent the stupidity of the phone call I just had to make.
I was afraid that nail in my wife’s tire was too close to the sidewall to fix the tire, and it turns out it is. Looks like the Explorer needs four new tires since the ones on it are pretty close to worn out. Time to put the winter tires on it for now.
