Look again at the back hub. It looks like there is a 7-8" motor tucked away in that yellow bike. Yowza.

We are almost #1..

lady receiving service at a station in Oklahoma City in 1950







The naturally aspirated engine in the Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA) T.50 is a masterpiece of engineering, integral to much more than just propelling the supercar forward. With a staggering redline of 12,100 rpm, it produces 654 hp and 345 lb-ft of torque. While these figures might not seem groundbreaking today, the true innovation lies in its design and performance. Weighing just 178 kg, this engine significantly contributes to the T.50’s impressively low curb weight of 980 kg—about a third of contemporary supercars and hypercars.
The T.50 embodies decades of Gordon Murray’s expertise in aerodynamics and mechanical engineering, drawing inspiration from the legendary Brabham BT46 "Fan Car." This innovative design featured a giant fan powered by the engine’s camshaft, creating an active venturi effect that effectively sucked the car to the track. This allowed the T.50 to achieve astonishing cornering speeds and grip levels, redefining what performance cars can achieve.

This is a Cormorant, the hood ornament for the 1930s Packards that doubled as the radio antenna, too.

1849 - The oldest known image of the Alamo. This Daguerreotype was made just 13 years after the battle of The Alamo...


Chevrolet has built an incredible 113 million small-blocks since its introduction 70 years ago. And it's sill going strong


Aerial view the Alamo, San Antonio, Texas, ca. 1930




The garage to house ratio is just about perfect
