Either way, they're both laughing all the way to the bank. The cynical side of me almost wants to think Floyd will let himself take a 'surprise' hit and take the fall. That would certainly set the stage for a very large Connor/Floyd rematch but maybe I'm just getting more conspiracy prone later...

For those that don't know about Massdrop, this is an online website where individuals can go in together to purchase specific items of interest in bulk for reduced prices. I came across this one that I thought would be of interest to this community. You'll see there is an offering for the Ford...

Chip, You really are an excellent "story" writer and I agree with others, I think you missed your calling in life. I'm sorry that you were never given the opportunity to fulfill your dream of flying for the Marines, the Marines certainly missed on the mark by letting you go. Based off what I...

I'm not a red car type of guy but that liquid red is stunning.

$.94 at WalMart. :) I've already picked up several NFGT and Shelby GT350 Hot Wheels from there.

Actually, I like your line of thinking on this one. I could see it being a TT 3.5L V6 making big power and if it had AWD that would put it as a possible GT-R competitor (with a cheaper price tag but definitely higher than the current GT350?). For some reason, I just have this feeling that a TT...

Ordered. Thanks for the heads up!

You're not alone.

Good points. I guess I'm looking at it from a rotary wing aviation background where any kind of high frequency buzzing or vibration in the flight components/airframe would be immediate cause for concern and an emergency landing in someone's yard. lol

I completely understand your sentiments and coming from a rotary wing aviation background I completely understand the importance of vibration dampening. My comment wasn't directed at anything or anyone in this thread. I'm also a member of SVT so I could certainly have posted my comment over...

Looks like they didn't retain the stock dampeners. Interesting.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't believe in frivolous lawsuits but there is more to this story than meets the eye. I was one who used to joke about this too, until I took a law class. As Paul Harvey used to say, "... and that's the rest of the story."...

I just picked up a 2015 XLT FX4 with the 2.7EB motor in it last week and I'm loving it. I would never have even considered buying a full sized truck with a V-6 in it up until the last couple years but these EB equipped trucks are really impressive. I bet if you let a truck guy drive the thing...

Here's the Boeing B-314. Here's the Martin M-130. The Boeing 747. My grandfather said they lost a lot of tools when conducting maintenance on the Clippers. :lol And yours truly with my Grandparents with a 53 at MCAS Miramar. This picture was taken right after 9/11 and I got...

Amen brother. My grandfather, who was my inspiration to become an aviator, was an employee for 40 years. Sadly, a couple of years after he retired, they went bankrupt and he lost his retirement through them. I never once heard him complain though, he went right back to work and spent another 20...

You're right, never trust an aviator, especially a naval aviator. lol

The story is actually much more interesting than that. ;) p.s.-NASA didn't spend any money on developing the space pen, contrary to popular belief. http://history.nasa.gov/spacepen.html "Fisher offered the pens to NASA in 1965, but, because of the earlier controversy, the agency was hesitant...

Awesome picture. Speaking of Lord Nelson, I was just watching Master and Commander last night. What a great movie.

Wow, Coalinga? That's where I went to high school! Most people have never even heard of it.

This is one of those threads with so many great stories and pictures. We really need an aviation thread/section! If I remember right, according to Ben Rich who wrote a personal memoir on his time at the Skunk Works, the J58 was originally designed in the late 40s but due to a lack of an airframe...
