    Is there a combo garage door opener / Car key fob?

    They’re not obvious on GMs…three unlabeled rocker-switch style buttons, typically on the overhead console (at least for full-size trucks). My 18 Silverado has them and I’m relatively certain my 07 did as well. I’ve never used them, however, as it’s my understanding they still function without...

    Sub lost contact over Titanic

    Yep. All joking aside, it’s stunning to consider the similarities of this project and the Raptor with regard to safety, rules, and the head cheese’s’ willingness to jettison anyone arguing against their ill-conceived plans. Unfortunately, this clown took it a step further by selling seats.

    Sub lost contact over Titanic

    But he’s “okay with that.” Oh wait…different idiot.

    Oops Mooney forgot to check TFRs

    Maybe the Mooney pilot thought he was going the opposite direction due to his backwards vertical fin? (Ducking for cover with you):D

    Buying a composite airplane with a significant damage history

    I think the key word (when considering the credibility) is “salesperson”…

    Blood-Covered Pilot Continues Flying Plane After Bird Slams Into Cockpit

    Reminds me of a joke I heard a long time ago… Q: what’s the last thing to go through a bug’s mind when he hits the windshield? A: his butt.

    FAA Caused Flight Delays

    Also difficult to convince many folks (myself included) to spend money on either type when there is such a ridiculous level of funding waste on any project being run by the government.

    Well lubricated

    I had never considered that until I built a stroker for my Camaro. I was researching all kinds of options, displacements, etc and came across the issue of crank to cam interference…never occurred to me until I went out to the garage and looked at the block how close those get.

    Shop tries new payment techniques. Block aircraft with tug!

    If you steal my car it’s unlikely you can present anything legitimate in appearance to show that you and I had a civil ($$$) arrangement for parts and/or service. Much different than here, where there is a business transaction that was arranged. The dispute now over billing does not allow the LE...

    Shop tries new payment techniques. Block aircraft with tug!

    Not sure about laws there, but here (WA), the absolute last thing LE would do is force the airplane’s release. To do so would place them right in the middle of a civil, not criminal, situation. The only issues LE would have authority to address would be keeping the peace, and investigating...

    Report, or let it go?

    I wouldn’t report him/her…I’d try to find contact info to chew his/her $&@ for being stupid and/or an alpha hotel. No reg violation required.

    Does anybody have any experience with the Ford 5.0 L with cylinder disconnect?

    I’ve had two GMs (07 and 18 Silverados with the 6.0 and 6.2, respectively). Both have GMs version, AFM (active fuel management). My 07 made it to 105K with nothing more than an occasional lifter tick on cold start in the winter. My 18, which I still have, is another story. Despite religious...

    FAA internal affairs office? (Physician heal yourself)

    The most frustrating aviation scene of all time?

    Not as much of a scene as the whole experience…We went to see the movie about Reno Air Racing (can’t recall the name-came out years ago) when it was making the circuit on IMAX theaters…was most excited about hearing Strega’s Merlin on theater surround sound. Instead we got mostly narration.

    Is this bad?

    That picture made me think of when Kelsey Grammar got assigned to command the diesel sub in Down Periscope… “You’ve been selected for a very special mission.” “What’s that, Sir? Turn her into a museum? The Wonderful World of Corrosion?”

    The greatest aviation movie of all time!

    How could you all leave out Iron Eagle, complete with realistic touches such as deploying full flaps for maximum speed? :D

    The greatest aviation movie of all time!

    The end of Reno

    YT has a two-part video of 79, although it’s the gold race where Hinton Sr crashed in the Red Baron (so possibly not the best example to show her, although he did survive it). Sadly, although Reno has a ton of cool stuff other than unlimiteds, the reality is that planes like Dago, Strega...
