Not me, but a cool photo of yesteryear.

1964 Schwinn Deluxe in Sky Blue.

1964 Schwinn Standard in Flamboyant Red.

1964 GTO in Nocturne Blue.

Broken right arm.

Broken right arm: that's what happens when you jump a bike with straight bars and wearing black leather shoes.

How many guys built model cars of some of the dragsters that Lee posts? I often see some that I had on a shelf in my room.

I built plenty of model cars but I can't think of a single dragster. The closest I got was the Stone, Woods and Cook Willys Gasser.

This reminds me of the time my middle son picked up a sharp rock and walked all the way around the car dragging the rock on EVERY panel! The car was brand new and had to be completely repainted! This is the same son who shoved quarters in the cars CD player!!!
The good news is he became a car nut and makes a living photographing cars! Such is life!

Almost 40 percent of collector cars are up in value, and this one jumped by $1.3M

The United States Army Air Forces dominated the skies over Germany in 1944 with conventional weaponry. However, a late-war spurt in German scientific activity (V1 & V2 rockets) inspired a futuristic American response: The US would use remotely piloted bombers, loaded with explosives, to target hardened German targets.

The result was a pair of top-secret programs, the AAF’s Aphrodite and the Navy’s Anvil. War-weary B-17, B-24, and PBY4-1 bombers were stripped of standard equipment and laden with explosives, so that they could be guided by a “mother plane” to dive into a heavily defended target. The crewmen would bail out 10 minutes before the suicide dive.

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but failed badly in practice. The effort is today remembered largely for killing Navy Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., the son of the former ambassador to Great Britain and the brother of future President of the United States John F. Kennedy.
