yup.... the 4spd would be the one thing this car couuld benefit from.

The friction is a factor YOU choose to ignore. That's conveniently selective. In YOUR opinion friction is hypothetical but yet the conveyor able to keep up with this known control is also hypothetical. Once again, I'm not saying I do not see both sides, but some people's wording is incorrect.

Thanks guys. I'm trying to find a balance. BTW: I've seen 2 yellow, two blue, one black & once orange production Zeta-Maros & I gotta say: _WANT!!! (minus B-pillar & glued in glass)

All THAT & a bag o' chips!!!!! The icing on the 455-SD/dogf-dish cake is the white leather.

Yes, I've been scarce around here. The reasons are many & varied. Prob. the biggest & most significant is that I've been trying to spend as much time as possible with both the girls. Amelia it seems is growing up twice as fast as Sofia did, sh is seven months old as of Sunday. The day before that she got her first tooth. I'm trying to get as much Q.T. with all three as possible, while catching up on a lot of non-C&G related parts of my life. I still love you guys, I love this forum. But I have to admit the news from GM these s NOT what I need to cheer me up. I get up at 3:30am, go to UPS, end my slave-labor there at around 8:45am and have to be cleaned up, fed & at my day job 18 miles away by 10:00am. By the time I get home from my day job at about 6:15pm it's more like an extended dinner break versus a night at home. Anyway I will post, in his thread in the next few days some photos & such of what it is I have been doing with my "free" time NOT spent on C&G. And as a first step to give myself a very deserved, self-administered ass kicking for my lack of activity on the B-59, esp.p the Nailhead 364 that is still sitting half disassembled, I've decided to write out a schedule, or "action plan" if you will and post it on here to keep myself on track. Peace & G-night for now.

triple brown does not do it any favors. how 'bout this?

Let me sum it up like this: If your legacy costs are TOO much to bear & your competition is driving you to extinction, what's the smartest thing to do? Mount an attack? NO! Your shrink. Or in other words, shrivel up & die, slowly. This country is on the brink of destruction. GM is just a symptom of the coming $h!storm that is REALLY going to shake us to the foundation. For those who think we've hit rock bottom, I think YOU are a part of the problem for your complacency, be it driven by apathy or ignorance.

A few years back XP-715 was eyeballin' a Red '71 Rivi with a white leather interior that was for sale locally but also on eBay. That car still drives around in the dark recesses of my mind from time to time & as much as I think most '70s cars suck, the Boat Tails, at least the '71 & '72 are just divine.

I saw it back in 2005, it was sleeping peacefully. Don't ever get rid of that G.P.

2nd one is vague & boring. 1st one is not bad, uphill text does not help the message.

In theory, we could be telleporting $h! by now. So says much of science. So why are we shipping goods on cargo ships & still flying on B-747s? Einstein's theory of relativity was the catalyst for the Atom bomb, and it also says time travel is possible. I'm still waiting. IF there is no movement of the plane as relative to the conveyor belt & ground, and therefore the air-speed remains at ZERO, the place can NOT fly. That's absolute fact. LIFT in a conventional aircraft "fixed wing" is not possible without a given airspeed.... Saying $h! like "the airflow/thrust of the propeller would allow lift in under the wings" is so dumb it makes my brain hurt. It's the aviation equivalent of the whole "you're in an elevator that is falling at terminal velocity so you jump just a split second before impact and survive without a scratch..." scenario.

What a day to pop in? I think my top five runner ups would be '59 Cadillac, '63 Corvette, (split window coupe) '57 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door hardtop, '39 Buick Roadmaster 4 door Bustleback & '69 Camaro ZL-1. IMO all very worthy, not necessarily in that order either. Here's my official entry: 1934 Cadillac V-16 Aero-Coupe * fat-fendered * recessed, floating headlights * silky smooth lines * 452 overhead valve Sixteen cylinder * tall grille * Art Deco detailing If I was a billionaire I'd commission a hardtop copy of this gorgeous girl and laugh at all the retards with their Ferraris & Rolls Royces.

LOL @ dodgefan's response. I'd still much rather have a Bf/Me109 witits inverted V12. Thank God Rommel did not manage to secure a guaranteed pipeline to the Germans because the only reason the Me109 is not remembered as VASTLY superior to the Mustang, Spitfire etc. is the German's lack of decent fuel. The Me109 was a force to be reckoned with, the Me262 Swallow was a novelty.

Balthazar: I must have dozens of tools I've acquired in junkyards over the years. Never found a complete set of anything but plenty of orphans. I love it when I find a useful piece of hardware at the junkyard.

Sorry to come off as a dick, but I agree w/ Purdue: It's all in the wording. DF: I was put off by your "people got owned" comment when in this instance Mythbuuster's attempt to solve the riddle was lame & not at all sufficient to be considered a tie breaker. A sheet of canvas pulled by a pickup is NOT at all even close to the hypothetical conveyor belt the original question describes.

you need to REREAD the thread. I KNOW what does & does NOT drive a plane. I was up on the ins & outs of aviation by the age of 11/12.

I'm not up on my inner-C&G politics.... I need one of these: http://englishrussia.com/?p=1019

Half my tools are nice & clean, but many are nasty, scratched up & oil stained with some surface rust. I'm a part time junkyard dog... that's jut how I roll. Any jobs I do just do NOT warrant clean tools. I like my tools similar to my trucks & women: The dirtier they get the more fun you're having.

I own a few from every one of those, but I prefer old rusty tools that can be bought at a yard sale. I love some of my tools that are 30, 40, 50+ years old and still serve their purpose.

That is a teaser video, the question is not answered, am I missing something? Once again, the propeller does NOT create lift, it moves the plane forward at high speed which moves air under & over the wings & that (& ONLY that) creates lift in a fixed wing airplane. (this obviously excluding the Harrier Jet, Helicopters etc.)

This principle is still 100% sound, and THAT was the point.

Propeller? Since when was this a propeller driven plane??? I thought it was a jet!
