When my wife read me the Kevin Hart headline, my reaction was "was his booster seat properly installed". Glad it wasn't just me.
Unrelated to your post, but the pic was timed perfectly. My daughter took this today on her way into class at University as a freshman. Way to go on inspiring the future of the country dip wad.

He looks a little old. I never did understand the 'free speech zone' at LSU which might be gone now and every other campus due to FIRE.

From elsewhere.
Tommy Ivo started building the glass side trailers because he got tired of rolling the car out at every highway stop for fans to see. Theres almost another complete cars worth of spares inside the wedge, chassis and all, depending on the year.
At least, that's the way the Garlits museum tells it.
He also carried a Vette with him sometimes...

Why is there a Fokker sign next to the King Bugatti engine, it was an allied design that never entered full production? What's the Fokker got to di with it?

That was fun.
Great episode. As soon as they started saying they had no fuel pressure I knew what had happened, because I remembered a story my father told me. He has a '69 Pontiac LeMans Sport Coupe (real odd bird, 1 of 50 built with a 350 2-barrel but with a TH400, Rallye IIs, power steering, power front disc brakes, bucket seats, console floor shift, Matador Red with a red interior and black vinyl top) and in the '80s it lost a few teeth of the timing sprocket. So he put a timing set in and was in the process of putting it together and got called away for something. Came back and put the cam bolt in and put it together and forgot to put the little tin cup fuel pump eccentric between the bolt and the front of the gear, just like somebody did with their 400. Went to fire it up and no fuel. Then he spots the little eccentric on the bench.

Oh how quick we judge...
I think that is an Opel Insignia (weird extra tail lights under the rear hatch). I'm going to guess that the picture is from Germany and that the shadow at the bottom left is a big ADAC truck, blocking of 2 lanes with big warnings lights and warning signs. Looking to the right and at the signs up ahead, the truck probably escorted them to an area with reduced speed (for entries and exits to the highway) so they could block 2 lanes where cars are not doing 200km/h. Looking to the right there is clearly a highway entry, so pulling over there isn't an option.

The new hanger has Presidential Airplanes and a lot of experimental airplanes, the centerpiece being the XB 70.
Just testing to see if this works.
It didn't.
It's pretty cheap. It has a 155 hp jet drive in it. Jet Boat Mk2 is tempting me.

The XB70 is my favorite example of pre-space excess, and I'm so gonna go see it this winter.
Anybody know what building this is? Extra points if you can tell me what album this sleeve is from, and if you can include one of the locations where it was recorded you win the internet.
Guegenheim ? Spell check please?
