Diplomat used to test road barriers to funny results. clearer footage from this crash test was seen in a video called "How Road Barriers Stopped Killing Drivers". haven't been able to find the source though

Found a neat pic of Buddy Arrington's NASCAR Imperial with the rear suspension in (partial) view. Always read that the J bodies were the last NASCAR stock car to use leaf spring suspension but had never seen it until I found this pic.

Looks like an interesting rear brake set up too

Dialing in this sucker today. Photocells were way out of calibration for material feed. Was feeding material into the blade before it had raised up all the way.

Montgomery Wards special, circa 1976.
My dad brought me home one of these in 1996. By 2003, it was completely destroyed. Found one online and couldn’t help but overpay for an old familiar feeling.

Chicago is known for hotdogs. Far as I’m concerned, this is the hotdog. The Chilango. Grilled Vienna beef hot dog, bacon, tomato, grilled onion, grilled poblano pepper, zesty cheese sauce. The picture does not do it the justice it deserves. Comes with a big bag of fries and a drink (I go for the kool-aid on tap). It is my absolute favorite Chicago treat. Tommy’s on Grand.

Every region has its own hotdog tradition that usually makes no sense.

We have the Texas Hot, a Sahlen hot dog covered in a meat sauce only sold at Greek restaurants and has nothing to do with Texas.

In Rochester they have the Red Hot, a Zweigles hot dog, and the White Hot, a kind of weisswurst, which are both cut open lengthwise. Idk why they do that I think it's weird

if it turns two different cranks, does it even make any more power?

wouldn't it be easier to just buy a core airplane or corvair engine?
Depends on the gearing coupling them, but if the gearing is correct you’d effectively double torque out put but not particularly HP.
