Can we please stop hotlinking pics?

The truly sad truth of Father's Day..

Damn Skippy. I type this as I can't sleep due to restless baby in the bedroom.

In reply to 914Driver :

Ouch. the car in my photo got similar damage the following year, but at least it was in competition when it happened.

Hoping it's a kit car, I saw a real one that was $1.6 mil.

In reply to 914Driver :

Judging by the body damage that appears to be aluminum not feebleglass your first photo is either real or a very good repro car. Photo below is Hal Keck at Rose Valley H.C. 1969

Awesome sunset tonite from the back deck.

Imagine going 136.36mph in 1907 on a motorcycle with an air-cooled V8 designed for use in a dirigible, with no suspension, no real brakes to speak of, the tire technology of 1907, and no transmission. Oh, and on sand. Yeah, the dude had stones.

I always had a soft spot for those.

I might get dragged for this, but I think it's better looking than the C-47/DC-3.

Also, really interesting museum. Glenn Curtiss is kind of like Tesla, really ground-breaking guy who doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves.

And handlebars that it looks like you stuck in your belt loops to steer. 

Hotlink for the thread. Suzuki Jimny with a G-Wagen body kit.

Spend much time on that and you won't have to worry about it. 

Photo related. My solution to this.

The Curtiss was better at flying the hump than the DC3.

That doesn't look notably worse than a lot of crap getting designed these days.

In reply to Duke :

They actually built that.
