Just an amazing machine.

Do you like black ones, too?

Hey a cross over thread!

The Saturn V rocket (7.5 million pounds of thrust, still unsurpassed)
The Porsche 911 (what a design and too much fun)
The microwave (helps to leave more time for other stuff now)

+1 on the helicopter... for all the good guys who are alive today (and will be tomorrow) because of what they can do, have done, (and will continue to do) under the most hostile conditions imaginable.

All the rest come in a distant second, but I gotta vote for HVAC, the refrigerator, and the internal combustion engine... especially 12-cylinder Italian engines.

Hummm let's see,
1. 911's (no brainier)
2. electronic devices (computers, tv's, radio)
3. beverage dispensers (beer, coffee, jeaigermister, beer)

There once was a man from Eugene

who invented an effing machine

concave or convex

it would fit either sex

But it sure was a mess to clean.

That Pump Machine that they advertise on TV...the one that makes a man all he can be...

Blender

Hovercraft

Porsche 911

Flush Toilet with full roll of toilet paper

Rolex/Valjoux 727 watch movement

Porsche 911 RS

Steam Engine Trains
