When we were leaving Sacramento, CA to get to Las Vegas we took back roads and went out through the desert. We were on a road like that one, and the speed limit was almost too fast for my 911. I would almost get airborne over the humps, and the suspension was pretty much bottoming out on the bottom. It was a wild ride.

Yuck, what an ugly wheel.

The first one looks perfectly safe and structurally sound!

Gotta agree on the fugly wheel.

I was just in the local HW store and saw these. I think they're pretty close to 18" square (not quite square, maybe 16x16x20?) and solid. What the hell would these be used for? Make a few REALLY big bowls on a big lathe? LOL!

There was a little backstory. The photos were a joke, but I don't remember what it was.

“CAUTION - DO NOT DIG.” https://bit.ly/3VT4H2n
Located in Willow Springs, Illinois, this epitaph marks the burial grounds of Chicago Pile-1, the world’s very first nuclear reactor, as well as other reactors that were built and then buried under the watchful eye of the Manhattan Project. The site is open to the public, and poses no danger to visitors, but just in case, leave the shovels at home.

The Gulf "lollipop at the top of the Gulf building. 53' rotating Gulf logo.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1713644397.JPG
"It was the end of an era on this day in 1973 as Gulf Oil went ahead with dismantling the "lollipop" atop its building downtown.

Since 1965, the 53-foot-high, rotating Gulf logo had served as a distinctive downtown beacon and advertisement. Blame the need to conserve energy for its removal.

"We did some homework and figured the amount of kilowatt hours it uses a year could heat 30 typical Houston homes in the same period," Don Pratt, a Gulf spokesman, told the Chronicle.

"And, to be perfectly frank, there had been some concerns about the sign, aesthetically.""

The William A. Clark House in Manhattan, New York City.
The mansion was completed in 1911 at a cost of $7 million (equivalent to over $200,000,000 today). It was reported that Clark bought a quarry in New Hampshire, at a cost of $50,000 (equivalent to $1,454,000 in 2021), and built a railroad to transport the stone for the building. He also bought a bronze foundry employing 200 men to manufacture the bronze fittings. In addition, he imported marble from Italy, oak from Sherwood Forest in England, and parts of old French châteaux for the interior.
The mansion was demolished in 1927 and replaced with a luxury apartment building.

April 15, 1897 – The first commercial oil well was drilled in present-day Oklahoma. The Nellie Johnstone No. 1 was drilled after George B. Keeler noticed oil seeping from the ground on the south bank of the Caney River near Bartlesville. The well produced more than 100,000 barrels of crude oil before it was plugged in 1948.

Discovered accidentally by a farmer in Namibia Africa, the Hoba meteorite remains a mysterious marvel. This mammoth slab of iron, weighing a staggering 60 tons, is Earth's largest natural chunk of iron. It's estimated to have impacted our planet some 80,000 years ago, and one of the most fascinating aspects of the meteorite is that it left no impact crater, despite its immense size.
