"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

They’re both control stations. The balance of the aircraft is better when you fly from station 2. It’s usually the one w/ better equipment, too. Lots of cubs, tailwheels fly like this. If you want to fly up front you need to carry a bunch of ballast, wasting performance just to get a better view up front

Also being able to run a fuel tank in the aft seat and fly up front would be a big sales booster. Lots of guys hate ridin bitch like this.

Too dangerous and not feasible, but fun to dream

Note to all marketing people: Dehumanize your models in this market. Sunglasses would be a must here

I lost all the organization for a full hard drive, restored wrong and everything went into one pot, all mixed

I’m not much of a “we’re back” guy but dammit

A lil’ bit of us is back

No way, me too! Oh man it’s been so cool climbing out of that hole

Always bugs me that ZOG propaganda promised me hot, slutt, fat-tidded women and charismatic puppet rulers

but only delivers obese sheboons and catty manlets

The mushoku dude is just precocious and handsome. Not really likable, to the point where even the maid thinks he’s a creepy pervert as a baby.

So…..probably more of a kindred spirit than people wanna admit

nostr:npub1lnzm7z9lye2k22rlsy8hh9j426dl4kd54wh0endygjgax9q6nx9qusk8dk >40hp

i thought they were using standard Camry/Corolla engines

what the fuck

My memory’s vague, the way I recall them trying to sell me on the TC was that the base model had 180 hp but an optional supercharger brought it to 200

When I was typing it out I didn’t think those old camry’s had 180, so I adjusted the numbers to try and make sense of what I remembered, so it’s all probably wrong. But, I don’t wanna look it up, there’s a purity trusting inaccurate memory that car talk needs more of

lucky to even have a failing period. I’ve only had one ever gimme a warning, the rest just die with no precurser

You didn’t think the 40 hp Scion supercharger for $4,000 was a good deal?

I actually think their death knell was the XB, it was popular but beloved by low-class and nigs, so it really polluted the brand’s image

Looking back I feel shame on my turn from loving eotech’s to just liking the BDS horseshoe. It’s way better for my area

Still not a fan of single dots, they’re gay (but I still own a bunch)

I have to wonder how many kids won’t know the original valley forge work

I still feel bad for not appreciating my ex’s coloring book hobby. She was very artsy and maternal….but I dropped the ball. Oh well. She’s got a bunch of blonde kids now, so it’s better for the team that thinks worked out that way

nostr:npub1lnzm7z9lye2k22rlsy8hh9j426dl4kd54wh0endygjgax9q6nx9qusk8dk may be a fakecel, maybe the biggest fakecel

but he's our fakecel

I just found a winning ticket by chance, that’s all it was. But, I guess you could say it wasn’t pure luck, but a chance I got by being fairly likable over the years.

I didn’t know I’d built up a brand back home. People 2 and 3 degrees away from my circle knew me better than I’d thought, which was what got her willing to break out of her shell. Without that she’d probably ghost because she’d get in her head and spin out over nothign.

Yeah, it’s easy for me to get sucked in because I like my subject matter. Has just enough ‘fun’ in it that I don’t have enough aversion to working to guard my time better.
