I've seen articles on this over the years and the whole incident seems to have one of those "We didn't have anything happen here move along" vibe. In 1994 at RAF Boscombe Down a dozen or so people saw what looked like a diamond shaped aircraft crash or have the nose wheel collapse on takeoff...

Hi All, With warm weather on its way I was curious if anyone on here has used one of those vent cleaner kits that disinfect and supposedly clean out the heater/A/C ducts vents? I've read everything from using a hadheld duster to the kits that supposedly are sprayed into the intake at the bottom...

I went downtown and had heard about this burger place called Illegal Burger. Not sure if its a chain or local but one of the best burgers I've had in quite a while. Unfortunately everything is ala carte no combos. I got "The boss" which is a pineapple bacon jalapeno cheddar burger with no onions.

Mods feel free to move this as I didn't know where to put it humor, automotive? I was watching some demolition derbys on YouTube and got to thinking about how the pickings must be getting slim. Not too long ago there were still a number of 60's and 70's malaise iron still around. With new...

Hi all, Apparently not too far from where I work there is a strip mall with a Vietnamese grocery store, and not one but three Vietnamese restaurants among pawn shops etc. One of the restaurants opens at 9am with the full all day menu as I don't really know what Vietnamese breakfast looks like...

Brand new article showing that the Hardware 4 that is supposedly will finally (wink wink nudge nudge be fully autonomous) is shorting out. "The problem is linked to a new version of Tesla’s HW4 (sometimes called AI4) onboard self-driving computer. Internally, some refer to the new version as...

I saw this pop up on my Google feed. I don't shoot or have in financial interests in either party but apparently some are raising concerns as CSG Group is Czech owned. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Back in March or so (I'd have to look) I replaced my set of worn out Continentals which I had no problem with for 60ish thousand miles with another set the same. It seems like there's a slight vibration wobble at 40-45 mph and even with rebalancing which helped some never has completely...
