I believe they also attach bombs to the rotors and blow them up to see how well the explosion is contained, and to see if rotors don't fly out of the engine. It's pretty sweet, they rev it up to full thrust and detonate a rotor or two

This video normally sees a huge amount of outrage from people but I don't think it's that bad. Those troops have probably been told to keep moving no matter what. It's not like they're just driving down to Arab-Mart for a coke and some M&Ms, they're on a patrol or heading somewhere for a military purpose, and if they stop moving there's a definite chance they might well get blown the gently caress up by some dickass with an RPG or some kind of IED or any number of things.

Indeed. There's a video on youtube of a convoy in Iraq getting blown to bits for making a wrong turn. Gotta keep movin'.

Not nearly enough Paris-Dakar truck love. Despite the kickin rad 80's music, the TurboTwin was a combined 1000hp pants-making GBS threads car-passing beast.

Was there a death involved? :smith:

Yes. From DAF Trucks on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia posted:

# 1988: Two trucks were entered into the Paris-Dakar rally. Jan de Rooy's truck was at a certain stage at the third place overall (!), beating the Peugeot 405 T16's on speed. The other truck, driver by Kees Van Loevestijn, was involved in a crash in which he died, and almost taking the lives of the other 2 occupants of the truck. DAF withdrew.

X1 is in a museum I think, and X2 was scrapped.

Erlkönig means Elf-King, and is the name of a Goethe poem. That's all I knew until a quick google revealed that apparently it now also means some class of prototype or something. Or maybe just prototype.

EDIT: in the poem, the Elf-King basically takes a farmer's kid's soul while the farmer's trying to get his sick kid help. I have no idea what this has to do with cars.

It's also a song (lied) :eng101: composed by Franz Schubert

Here's a photo I shot at the local competition (which I dominated).



I did awful in the state competition because my booze hadn't fully metabolized from the night before.

I still hate you for this because my university doesn't get federal funding for our transit system and thus aren't able to compete :reject:

Ahh..we got quite a bit of federal transit money. The year I left, we got 14 new 40ft Gillig lo-floor buses like the one pictured above. Very nice to drive.

We have buses that the school bought second hand from IndyGo because one of them caught fire and damaged part of their bus barn.
