Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

I have an advantage when it comes to aerobatics: I have inner ear problems, which makes me a klutz on the ground, but I can't get dizzy, an extreme advantage in the air.

As spotted in front of the train station in downtown Bangkok.

I was sifting through a local car lot's inventory for funzies when I spotted this:

Factory equipment, not an oil filter. I think it may have been a resonator to quite the intake.

Makes sense. I forgot to mention it was on a '76 Lincoln Mark IV.

I can ride through anything in a plane. Family friend took me up in his T-28:

With that giant bubble canopy you're basically hanging out in the sky (albeit with a fair amount of airplane wrapped around you).

Half roll at 8,000 feet into a vertical dive pulling out at maybe 500 feet? No problem. Flying up the Chesapeake Bay low enough to leave a wake? Sure. Rolls, loops, Immelmanns? Bring it on. Strafing run up the road to my parents' farmhouse, looking up at telephone wires? Yeah, man!

But put me on a 20 foot ladder and I'm like this:

Yup, that could be any of us.

A Hurst? Looks like a Hearse.

I believe that Karl Childers called for a Hurst to pick up Doyle

Old, but maybe not as old as you think. Bull Durham came out in 1988. Is the B&W to give it that nostalgic feel or is it Art?
