What about speed relative to Earth? We're all flying through the Solar System at 60,000 MPH relative to everything else, as we orbit around the Sun. Eskimos living near the pole aren't moving as fast as the people who live in Singapore near the Equator. They're moving almost 1,000 MPH as Earth...

It's very hard to wrap your head around this kind of stuff.

I guess I need to start driving faster.

So after I arrived and looked back through a telescope at Earth, I would see it as it was 2 million years ago?

How so? Speed is speed, and distance is distance. If you're traveling at the speed of light, and it takes light 2 million years to reach Andromeda, that's 2 million years regardless of how you figure it. Why would it seem less for the traveler? No matter how you cut it, 2 million years is 2...

I don't know if this guy is right or wrong about this. But how can the speed of light work going away, but not coming back, when both speeds and distances are equal?

It's becoming more and more obvious that the primary reason these "manufacturer recommended" thin oils were introduced in the first place, was because of CAFE fleet mileage incentives. Several manufacturers have since changed their "recommendations" to higher viscosity oils. Kia, Hyundai, and...

I'm not "recommending" anything. I'm just bringing it to attention in case anyone is interested.

Palmetto State Armory is running a closeout on Speer Gold Dot .45 ACP for just 44 cents a round. ($21.99 @ box of 50). That's not too bad. I've seen 230 gr. Ball for almost as much. Shipping will of course kick it up some. .45 ACP is heavy...

Something like that could be very practical for washing cars. Dirt lays on a cars surface, and it doesn't require a high amount of pressure to remove it. (Unless you play in the mud with trucks and dirt bikes). And it's a pain to drag out gas powered pressure washers, along with all the hoses...

I hear you. I just can't imagine anyone needing to drive that much. My 10 year old Jeep doesn't have 20,000 miles on it yet. My 7 year old Toyota is about the same. My 34 year old truck just rolled 167,000 miles. I'm going to Walmart tomorrow. That's about 16 miles round trip. So I gotta get...

Once they got on it, that thing didn't waste any time getting up over 200 MPH. This video is from years ago. But it was a much longer run in really smooth conditions. And they took their time with adding power.

I would keep it clean and well lubed, and continue running Ball through it. I would not hesitate to carry a dependable pistol loaded with .45 ACP Ball ammo for self defense. That load is responsible for putting a lot of Japanese and German military people in their graves. It's big and heavy...

Have you tried a few different magazines?

Another thing that is surprising, was considering how many cigarette butts he shoveled out of that thing, there weren't any burns in the carpet... At least none that I could see.

Yeah, they would have been in good shape had they attempted it this morning. It is dead calm today. The lake is like a sheet of glass.

This happened here yesterday during "The Desert Shootout" which is held here every year. They had just hit 200 MPH and it went airborne. It was pretty windy here yesterday, and that thing caught a ton of air. Both guys survived, but were pretty banged up. Wild ride for sure...

I think that guy steamed enough cigarette tar out of that thing to sealcoat an average size driveway.

I think the stuff that guy scraped out of the bottom of the cupholders should have been handled by a hazmat team.

We've all seen detailing videos. They're everywhere. But this is unreal. I can't imagine how anyone could even stand to be in a vehicle in this condition. It's a rolling landfill. The stench alone had to be nauseating. I'm trying to imagine what this guys house is like. Or for that matter...
