Hey, I’m like 130 lbs! The whole koolaid thing is a joke about my brilliant red car. Or if you are colorblind euroswagr, it’s blue or gray or something, who knows.
I need to come down there some time and finally do this. Always some lame excuse I have. I might be more inclined to hit the strip at fayetnam or in kinston since those are closer, and fewer ecoblows.
colorblind, eh? may explain the issues with the V-22 o_O
Haha, I know why you have koolaid in your sig, I was just playing along with Saki’s comment.
Fayetteville and Kinston are shitholes, but I understand if your afraid of a big red ecoboost…race red btw (+20hp over all the other factory colors)
Haha, screw you beem, but with triple redundant systems there is enough wiring on that plane to wrap around the world a hundred times! and nothing makes sense… Because I would place bets that 1% of the engineers have been on an airplane, the rest only visit it through their desktop in a CAD program.
couldn’t help myself, no offense intended. i’m colorblind myself, and tend to use disparaging humour to proactively stave off jokes by others regarding my colorblindness.
regarding the design not making sense, I’d wager most of the engineers are so focused on their individual tasks that they literally do not see the forest (eg the aircraft in this case) for the tree that is their singular tasks. regardless, with as much wire as there is it must always be an adventure working on them
You’re colorblind? How the fuck do you work on wiring harnesses lol? I’ve never thought of it, but with your project cars, I’m sure you’re working with color coded wires a lot.
No offense taken man…lol If you are colorblind you can’t be an electrician in the Marine Corps…especially an aviation electrician. I’ve never even thought if there are stipulations outside of that, so far I’ve never been asked if I am or not as a DOD contractor.
Did you know the aircraft cabin and wing/nacelles were actually designed and built separately. The cabin or fuselage is a Boeing product, mainly built and assembled in Philly. The wing and nacelles are Bell and assembled somewhere in texas. Then they marry each piece together at the end for the final assembly. I heard a story about engineers cheering like they were at the Super Bowl because the first aircraft wing and fuselage actually fit together correctly! They didn’t even built it all together the first time, haha.
They are cool as fuck to fly on though. A good friend of mine is a pilot at the Presidential squadron right now and he loves the damn things.

I’m very mildly colorblind, just enough to fail the hidden dot tests. I’ve never once had a situation outside of those tests where its impacted me, but I gather those tests are designed to catch everyone. I have excellent night sight, small detail sight and distance sight so its a trade off. I wanted to be a pilot growing up, so it was a tough break failing the colorblindness test.
i’d be curious if there are any standards for wiring that try to work around colorblindness issues, such as avoiding a red tracer on a green wire or vice versa. iirc its a best practice in web design, and one I use in any reports I develop (a chart in excel with a red line and a green line in close proximity will lose value to maybe 5% of men on average, so its best to avoid that combination)
yeah, the military has some interesting disqualifiers (flat feet, insufficient height etc). the only thing they deemed me qualified for was navy nukes lol (guy I grew up with is a navy recruiter after sometime as a seal, and joked I’d be a good fit there)
I can imagine the scene when they mated the two assemblies together. no amount of planning can account for all of the potential issues so its always awesome seeing a plan come together.

what’s the V stand for?

vtol and short take off/landing
and it is a tiltrotor, not a helicopter or fixed wing plane

THE CAR WAS BABIED***
***other than the fact the transmission had to be replaced, and the fact it needed new heads, oh and the fact it had a $20,000 crash with itself and was completely resprayed because the poorly secured aftermarket hood flew up and destroyed the exterior and interior at a track day… Which he tried to pin on the hood maker and insurance companies by lying and saying it happened while driving on normal roads, not while going 120 mph st a road course in front of dozens of witnesses (including hundreds more who watched the video he posted and later deleted) . This was just one of many track days it was thrashed on a track… By a ham fisted fucking driver who may to this day be the worst to ever (dis)grace the brand.
Or how about the time his buddy drove it and destroyed the clutch at the strip, slipping it to shit and keeping the gas slammed the whole way down. Funny…his ‘friend’ did it. I’m thinking it was Ham fisted mick himself.
Or how about the retarded fucking shops who hacked the car to crap and couldn’t install a shifter…and who botched clutch jobs two or three times, all of which was blamed on jhm in a massive campaign of lies by mick the manatee…a campaign this site blew the fucking lid off of… here:

Yeah babied.
Fucking lulz.
That car was a nightmare and so was the owner. He moved the platform BACKWARDS not forward. He made the world think a full bolt on rs4 with 250 lbs removed was only good for low 13s…and then when faced with his failures he eventually told a lie about running 12.2 to save face and posted it on dragtimes like a skulky little weasel. Embarrassing. Thank FUCK he sold it.
Man I hate that guy. At least everyone over there doesn’t ride his dick like Jared. He got called out pretty good for the babied description. I like his “JHM pressure plate failure” comment. He still try’s to slander as much as he can… Considering the PP is fucking OEM!
But at least the car didn’t have any real issues…like the speakers going out or anything…hahahaha just new heads, tranny, hood smashed, rear ended… Lol no big deal
