    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    Valid point. I mainly used the portion you quoted as a counterpoint to consider. I tend to believe the guy was schnockered.

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    I’ve ridden/raced motocross for 32 years. Any successful motocrosser I know operates anything but recklessly. It may appear reckless to the uninitiated but it is calculated and although I push my limits, I don’t disregard them. The ones who are reckless are typically short-lived, and/or the...

    Man who crashed snowmobile into a parked Black Hawk helicopter suing government for $9.5M

    Depending on which Rx drugs, combining even a moderate amount of alcoholic beverages can have an effect greater than the sum of the parts. Also, .08 is just the level that most (all?) states have ruled someone to be presumed impaired. One can still be very much impaired below a .08...

    Really bad crud on spark plug

    Champion or Tempest? Sorry if I missed it, but wondering if you have some of the problematic Champions in there?

    Ferry flight lawsuit (mods please help with title)

    New to our courts system? It shouldn’t be this way, but it absolutely is. Same reason Lycoming was sued when a pilot flew a perfectly good airplane (and engine) into cumulogranite.

    Cheapest Twin on EBay Down

    It’s almost as if they followed the model of barn-find cars you see these days-fresh gas, new plugs/wires/cap/rotor, new battery, new oil/filter, and let ‘er rip. I would’ve hoped someone would have thought about the fact that you don’t get to coast to the side and push back to the garage in an...

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    Agreed…my comment was attempting to say that comparing her IQ to a toaster is unfair to toasters. Unfortunately more and more people seemingly believe that the only thing in life that matters and/or defines success is clicks/follows/likes. Sad.

    Wait…what do you have against toasters?

    Youtube Pilot and her dad perish in TN

    My daughter was shooting at age 6-7, closely supervised of course and taught the cardinal rules. She had zero issues other than the fact that she was shooting my dad’s old Marlin 22, which was a bit long for her to shoulder. I mainly wanted to take her shooting to allow her to feel and see the...

    Cheapest Twin on EBay Down

    That show made me want to poke myself in the eye with a fork. Hacking up a car, installing some aftermarket parts (poorly), a quick paint job, and calling it a “custom.”

    [NA]Microplastics; the latest thing to worry about.

    People living in fear are easily controlled for others’ gain/agenda. If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that a large portion of the population is easily pulled in to the “next big thing” to be afraid of. I’d like to take this post a bit further, but I think I’ll stop there in...

    Looks like a short distance aft of the wing in this shot. https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/alaska-airlines-flight-emergency-landing-portland-international-airport/283-3510ca7b-26ae-43fa-9b2f-03f387dc06b9

    How do you talk to a car mechanic…

    As an aside to the tech/write-up issue, those lines are notorious for leaking in the manner shown. For some reason, they never used to be an issue (the ones on my dad’s 91 Silverado lasted the life of the vehicle). However, somewhere along the way they forgot how to properly crimp them and/or...

    Rental Car hint/tip/gripe/trick/review/kvetch Thread

    If you want some entertainment, search for videos about Hertz by Steve Lehto on YouTube…several legitimate renters have had really inconvenient days due to hertz not keeping their inventory straight and reporting the cars as stolen. Overbooking and sending renters all over town because “branch x...
