What causes this type of rust? The rest of the car is pretty ok for a northern car

Tasty, delicious salt, and a small hole in the sealer.

Amazing. Though I imagine the deficit of torque makes getting that beautiful creation moving an exercise in patience and clutch abuse.

What kind of forecast is this? I guess it will hit somewhere in Florida.

Painting by Apollo 12 astronaut Al Bean (with Pete Conrad on the moon).



 

Al walked on the moon with Pete. Pete was Commander of the mission. Al was the Lunar Module pilot. All the astronauts leased GM products for a dollar a year. The three guys on Apollo 12 had identical C3 Corvettes:


 

Funky color design supposedly done by famed Industrial Designer Alex Tremulus. It was an awful color design. Only Al Bean's car survives today, owned by a guy in Texas for the last 50 years. Al retired from the the military and NASA in the early eighties to paint. He passed a few years.

Al Bean was one hell of an artist.  Pretty good astronaut, too.

I've knew I'd seen the word Eta before .....

Burakumin, (Japanese: “hamlet people”, )also called Eta, (“pollution abundant”), outcaste, or “untouchable,” Japanese minority, occupying the lowest level of the traditional Japanese social system. The Japanese term eta is highly pejorative, but prejudice has tended even to tarnish the otherwise neutral term burakumin itself.

Nah, supposed to do that.  In a thermal, you're climbing sometimes at 1200-1500 feet per minute and you know whatever goes up, must come down.  When you exit a thermal, that same 1200 fpm is headed back down the outside of the cylinder; it's called "going over the falls".  If not ready, you could be hanging from the straps looking at your feet.  The wings flex to accomodate that; I try not to look at the wingtips when flying for that reason.
