Re: I coulda had an Antonov AN-2

The final chapter. Some sort of Haunted House adventure.

Dragged the Lincoln out of the way, aired up the tires, slapped the wheels on it and pulled it out into the street on its own gear. Must've been quite the sight crossing the Bay Bridge.

Re: 96 850R what to evaluate for potential bent subframe?

Plus one on replacing the entire package on the front, especially since you have a donor car. The strut with the hub will be a bit of an armful, but will cut down on the time involved - if you have some help. I've never had to deal with rear suspension stuff aside from shocks, so the advice above wo...

Robert had Covid again...

...And was hospitalized briefly. He's home now, and for those of us so inclined, stop by today's YouTube posting to wish him well.

Re: 96 850R what to evaluate for potential bent subframe?

It has been my experience that it's much easier to see issues once the obviously bent stuff is replaced, especially the front strut. Unless Brother Knievel got really big air, the suspension bits are more likely to bend than the sturdier parts of the car. Since there is a donor car on scene, swap th...

Re: Robert had Covid again...

Watching the video and hitting the thumb button helps with his visit count and nudges the Y/T algorithm, but we're likely talking pennies given the size of his audience.
Not only was he feeling poorly, he lost a weeks work too.

Re: 737 MAX-9 preliminary report

Keep in mind these aircraft are all flying on the original Airworthiness Certificate issued ca. 1968. Since it was designed and built using SAE specs, that is the standard that has to be continued to keep Boeing from having to start over - you know, like they should have anyway.

Re: 60 years ago today I went to my first live music event...

To be clear, I couldn't hear any music over the nonsensical screeching of thousands of tween and teen girls in bobbysocks. They never let up, not for the whole show. The reason the band said they stopped touring wasn't sound system issues per se, it was the mob mentality of the crowd making it hard ...
