He nearly fitted it in the space! ?
 

It looks like it’s short enough that it WOULD have fitted if he’d gone nose-in

I saw this at one of the local auto parts stores. I don't know what it is but I'd feel vulnerable inside it.

[sfhess]

Roncla, that looks like Clarkson's P-45 from Top Gear.

[espo]

I have to agree with sfhess about the P-45 Top Gear appearance. This is the type of vehicle that you would feel like you were wearing it when you're driving.

Two days ago, Costco gas line in Rohnert Park, CA.  Maybe not this one but honestly, how many screaming yellow Sunbeam 260ci Tigers are out there?  BTW, it sounded potent.

That's when you know you just have to much money. I've never had enough money.

No yellow edge tape?

This was a friend's wife here in town a couple years ago if it will open for you.. That right there will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.  Good to see how to weather one of these

I see red and blue lights reflecting on the dash board and I think I even hear the theme from Cops in the background. " What ya goin to do when they hit you with the blue light ??

If you click on the image does it not play?  It is a Falcon 9 Rocket being brought back to the Space Center after landing in the ocean.  It comes right by her car.. it is a video

I saw the video, just didn't know what it was as we dont get stuff even close to that on the roads around here. fishing boats on trailers are common but never rockets

LOL.. I guess we take them for granted.. Something about them is on the news all the time and we are always seeing and hearing them launch.   When the Space Shuttle used to land it would make two very loud sonic booms and people who lived here all their lives would ask.. what was that!  Then someone would say the Space Shuttle and they'd say, "oh yeah."  I remember the first time I heard it about 22 years ago.  I asked how would I know if I heard it and they said, oh you'll know.  About 4 in the morning it came in and I thought someone fired a shotgun twice outside my window... came right out of bed.

I guess you never really realize just how big these are until it's passing you on the freeway.  I lived for a time in Lompoc Calif. and it's located next to Vandenburg AFB. IN the '60's and '70's they would launch Weather Satellites there often in the evening. Lets just say you would have to wait to finish any conversations you may be having at that time.
