    Blue Angles in Pensacola.

    Didn’t want to post this before I was sure this was not AI. It is not! While living in Montgomery, I have spent a lot of time at NAS Pensacola and pretty much watch Blue Angles every year during official shows or training. But, this flyover is something. I personally haven’t seen Blue Angles...

    AN 124 escape from Kyiv

    On Friday, AN 124 was seen flying over Kyiv, which, to say the least, was very strange. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/56178 However, that An-124 was stuck in Kyiv since February 2022. It managed to avoid the fate of An-225 and has been repaired numerous times since then. Then yesterday, July...

    Invest money into mountain towing companies!

    It is very predictable every year, but this one is really something. They had off road tires, so I guess they thought that traversing one of the most dangerous mountain passes, IN WRONG DIRECTION, in the US, is than OK, with, pay attention, Chevrolet Blazer! I wouldn’t do the Black Bear pass...

    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    OK, this will turn heads: (MOD note - link removed) I get an argument that, considering the number of vehicles, there are savings in CO2 emissions. An estimate is 10 billion tones annually. But here is where the problem is: until China and India seriously tackle pollution, all that is...

    Post your seasonal tire change!

    I see we post seasonal tire changes in many topics not related to that particular “activity.” I just swapped tires on wife’s Tiguan. Off: Bridgestone Blizzak WS90 215/65 R16. On: Michelin Pilot AS3+ 235/50 R18. They have this season left.

    Stop your purchases, forget that new Tacoma or RAV4 or F150, the YUGO is back! I am not sure whether it will have writing under door panel: “the quality resembles the paycheck,” like some had, but the automotive world is declaring a comeback to good ole days...

    Finally! Morrison speed camera is destroyed/vandalized

    Absolute speed trap that became for some time national news. Speed limit was 25mph in an area where 45mph might be slow. In article one can sense that revenue is the point, safety is secondary. I knew about this camera and was careful when in that area. But Morrison is where Red Rocks...

    Tesla has the highest death rate of any manufacturer

    OK, we were talking about this before, but here is the new study. "Autopilot," "Full-Self Driving," and other fake advertising are IMO big part of the problem. Another part are other things where Tesla tried to reinvent the wheel: only screen in the middle, no turn salks, etc...

    So, in my attempt to avoid buying 2nd generation Toyota Sequoia (will happen, still, keep reading) I am renting these 3 row SUV's every time I need to rent something. We went to Hawaii for a week since kids have a two-week fall break (our district has that, but they start school two weeks...
