Introducing: the Hoonipigasus! This is the hill climb beast that I’ll be racing at this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. It’s a Porsche 911 SVSR, built by BBi Autosport in partnership with Mobil 1, and it’s a one-of-a-kind, mid-engine, twin-turbo, 1400hp, AWD, 1000kg, weapon. This meth-fueled monster is intended to be the world’s ultimate Porsche race car build with the sole purpose of trying to win the top class in the 100th running of the legendary PPIHC race.
Ken Block will have a drive ride to the top.

Looks and sounds like a great commuter car!

I think this is another great option. It's a "kit" for a mazda miata.

Opium. According to my Dad, who was in the Pacific in WW2, a lot of the Japanese were higher than kites. He brought home a couple of opium pipes, relieved from a dead guy, along with his bloodstained Rising Sun flag.

at first the videos were impressive, but then since they were basically just the same thing over and over, they got old. The AWD turbo mustang was pretty cool. It started off at 800+hp, and then they bumped it up to 1400+hp

Thanks guys. This is my 2nd Baccalaureate. This one is in Music Studies which is mostly music theory and I minored in Digital Music creation.

My kids initially couldn't make the ceremony given the where and when of it. Flatbutt-ette is too far away and FB II had commitments at his own school. However he found someone to cover and at the last minute made it to the ceremony. That made what was a nice day a GREAT one!

Just for me. I wanted to minor in music when I was studying chemistry in the 70's but the school didn't offer it then. So, when I retired I decided to take a few classes which went so well that I matriculated.

23 June 1942, Luftwaffe Oberleutnant Armin Faber accidentally lands his Focke-Wulf 190 fighter plane in South Wales, handing the Allies one of Germany’s most advanced aircraft.
Disoriented in a dogfight (which he won, shooting down his opponent), Faber mistakes the Bristol Channel for the English Channel; instead of flying south to France, he flies north to Wales. Waggling his wings in victory as he lands at RAF Pembrey, dumbfounded but quick thinking British ground crews, realizing what is happening, direct the plane to park. The airfield duty pilot, Sergeant Jeffreys, jumps on the wing of the aircraft and takes Faber prisoner with a flare pistol — the airfield was for training only and did not have anything more lethal. Faber, realizing his terrible mistake, tries, unsuccessfully, to commit suicide.
Faber will spend most of the war in Canada as a POW. Painted in RAF colors, the Allies will fly and test the Fw-190, helping to developing techniques to use against it in combat.

The Schooner "Wyoming" was one of the largest wooden sailing vessels ever constructed. Built in Bath, Maine in 1909 as a collier ship, she was designed as a state-of-the-art sail freighter. Using a donkey generator and automated systems and winches for raising and lowering sails, and a telephone system for onboard communication, she was 450 feet long, but crewed by just 14 men.
Like many of the 20th century sail freight vessels, the "Wyoming" was a support ship for steamboats. Colliers carried coal to coaling stations around the world, allowing steamships to refuel and travel long distances. Because sailing vessels didn't use any of the coal they carried, they were ideal for transporting fuel efficiently around the world. But in order to stay competitive with steam vessels, sailing vessels had to be efficient in crew costs as well, which is why the "Wyoming" had such a small crew.
