Happy Fathers day to this Dad! Skip the first two minutes, avoid the idiot grandkids noises

the advertising rivalry between Audi and BMW is hilarious!

the result of a load not secured. Military people understand... if it's going to sea, sky, or war, it better be locked down. This 747 fell out of the sky in 30 seconds of take off, all captured clearly on this video



you only will need to see the first 30 seconds to be amazed this was caught on film, and sad for the crew of 7. No passengers, this was a cargo flight.

SAO PAULO - Stunning images of the 747 load that fell yesterday in Afghanistan. The plane had seven crew. Never seen anything like it. Reportedly much of the cargo consisted of military vehicles and weapons. The whole bagasse was not properly secured and, at takeoff, the burden had shifted to the bottom of the aircraft. The weight caused the unsustainable plane flight angle, and the pilot didn't try to nose down instead of power out.

A proper send off for a diesel tuner and racer, 50 burnouts in front of his shop



the owner of Toops Performance in London, Ohio, passed away early Thanksgiving morning as the passenger in a single-vehicle accident, and on their way to his viewing, a convoy comprised almost exclusively of tuned diesel trucks stopped in front of Toops' shop with a soot-spewing, tire-smoking tribute which was all caught on video.

Celebrate John Woolfe, for he is capturing the roadside diner, and most of them are (I just learned) Worchester Lunch Car Diners












Just a sample of the beautiful work John does, from Massachusetts to New Jersey... just photographing diners. That is very cool!

His website has 101 so far, so go take a look! http://www.jwoolf.com/portfolios/nightroad/ learned about if from http://retroroadmap.com/spot/night-road-diner-photos-by-photographer-john-woolf-exhibit-extended-at-the-national-heritage-museum-lexington-ma/

Worcester Lunch Car Company

Philip H. Duprey founded the company in 1906 as the Worcester Lunch Car and Carriage Manufacturing Company. It was named for Worcester, Massachusetts, where the company was based.
The company produced over 600 diners between 1906 and 1957, when manufacturing ceased. All of Worcester Lunch Car's assets were auctioned in 1961.

 While most of their diners were located in New England some were purchased as far away as Florida. The Miss Worcester Diner (1948) still exists in its original location across the street from the former factory. The Rosebud (1941) is an example at 381 Summer Street in Somerville, Massachusetts near Davis Square.
 The Liberty Elm Diner (originally known as Central Diner) is Worcester Lunch Car Company #806 built in 1947 and moved to its current location in 1953 where is still operates in the Elmwood section of Providence RI. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010

 The Henry Ford Museum in Michigan contains a notable example of a Worcester Lunch Car diner called Lamy's, built in 1946. In January 2012, Lamy's once again began serving food. Many surviving Worcester Lunch Car diners are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The best bike tricks I've seen in a long time, with Danny MacAskill


above, he is rolling backward, down the hill... until he decides to get back to two wheels... somewhere below that next bend in the road. I've never seen anything like it. Astonishing
