True story: The breaker kept popping when the test pilots cycled the landing gear on the XB-70. The engineers figured out that they needed to bypass the terminal with a jumper. Pilot Joe Cotton saved a 750 mil (5.5 bil. in today's money) aircraft from destruction with a paperclip.
Dagon*Con was this weekend. I wasn't able to go, but I've been following the news feed. The professional costumes are always amazing (and should be). Sometimes the homebrew ones manage to be very well done, too.
As I work on the Passat for the third day I thought i’d share this image with you. Rotors are 345mm diameter and 30mm thick and weigh just over 26 lbs each.
car has gotten new control arms, ball joints, struts, end link, pads, oil, filter, transmission fluid and filter. I’m about done!!
In reply to Donebrokeit :
A "re-imagined" Lancia Delta Integrale from Italian company Automobili Amos. Basically, a normal Lancia that got gutted and turned into a tribute that they want to charge $350k for. Jalop Link
or...at least it's a rendering of one....

It's my favorite of all of these.. .the rest look like they're trying too hard, it almost has a Ferrari look to it. Elegant.
