Awe-some



Boys with toys... dreams that keep a man alive in this bullshit cheapass sorry excuse for a society.

So many great inventions, lost to museums and the scrapheap because of eventual financial infeasibility. VFET, Concorde, Lockheed SR-71, XB-70 Valkyrie, the Tucker mobile, certain engine and car designs: awe-inspiring stuff, lightyears ahead of their time. Could go on for a long time but here's just a few examples of stuff that gets me going...

Man, I sure wish I was born in the fifties sometimes...

Vintage audio gear (www.thevintageknob.org)...





Blackbirds...




Vintage cars...
