Dude when I was in Vietnam I was eating those till I was shitting it pure.
Flight simmed PWM. Aced it. COS in the works.
Ab. So. Lutely.
It's tough for me because I am sort of a traditionalist. Front engine, rear drive, manual trans, but everything is going to paddle shifter autos and the one thing they claim holds the Vette back from killing the exotics is the engine placement. But this is a formal transition from "sports car" to "super car" level.
For a "sports car" it is still front engine, rear drive, manual trans in my book.
Those wheels are a fucking travesty.
CFITDon't hit the mountain.
Wouldn't be the first, probably won't be the last.
It looks like it might just rub a bit, too. I just love the lines of the 2000GT.
In my long list of "some day" projects, I will cut up a rusting 260/280 Z and do the GTO kit.
Only I would use the correct Dayton wire wheels.
Jeez.
Don't let the mountain hit you on the way out.Don't hit the mountain.
I thought it was funny that they named their flight school Peak. I may reconsider. I may go to Houston instead. No mountains there.
Shouldn't it have Borranis, not Daytons?It looks like it might just rub a bit, too. I just love the lines of the 2000GT.

To be fair, engine out procedures here are mostly "point any direction except west" and land anywhere, because the rest of it is all Kansas flat.
When I lived in Cincinnati a pilot figured he wasn't going to make it to the airport and landed on a highway a few hundred yards up the road from me. He didn't think he was going to make it because he was out of gas. But he wasn't out of gas, and his engine was still running. That point wasn't lost on a family in a minivan who gave their lives to answer the question "will it blend".
Dayton made a set for the kit that looks like the OE's, 72 spoke knock offs but with more meat to them.
This one has the Daytons with Ferrari logo center spins.
Dayton makes an amazing wire wheel.
I can't imagine trying to clean a wire wheel.Dayton made a set for the kit that looks like the OE's, 72 spoke knock offs but with more meat to them.

Sandblaster with Black Beauty as media.
While I've never had them on my cars, lots of my friends have the tiny 12" 100 spoke crazy wheels. With a good brush, it isn't that much work. With the decent spacing it's even easier.
Get these guys to clean it
I am sure I will figure it out when I get there.
Fly in on my day off. I'll buy you lunch.
Haven't pinned down the days yet. I will be there 301 hours @ 5/6 hours a day @ 6 days a week. I will stay at the Holiday Inn Express right by the airport as it comes with the classes.
Not the Radisson? You could eat at Solo's, one of the most over rated places in town!
Bring a bike.
Edit: Be aware, the City is a buzzkill and recreational bongshed purchases are not allowed within city limits. You'll need to be able to drive to Manitou Springs, about a 10 minute drive from the airport.

I won't be coming there for fun... Food maybe, but the Bong Shed won't be available to me during my trip... It may also be cheaper for me to attend at Nashua NH, Norfolk VA, or Houston TX. If classes that I need are available there I would take advantage of that. I need a Electronic Instrument training to fly the plane available to me. I do not have the hours necessary to qualify currently. However I am intrigued by the Mountain Air Turbulence training offered in Colorado. Short takeoff and landing also.... I would be there for 3 weeks in June and 3 weeks in August if I chose Colorado. Need to free up some cash.... Everyone tells me that Colorado is the way to go. We'll see....
You will most definitely get turbulence training in August, and most likely July. DEN-COS; COS-DEN = vomit comet
Good to know... Cessna 340 can handle it?You will most definitely get turbulence training in August, and most likely July. DEN-COS; COS-DEN = vomit comet

To me it is about a certain look. My wife laughs because I keep telling her once I build my Impala, it will have 3 sets of wheels. 1 set of stock with hubcaps, 1 set of wires, 1 set of performance. 1 for show, 1 for cruising, and 1 for track. It makes perfect sense.
Sure, but you might not be happy about it
That happened to a young guy last year here in NC. It was his first day on the job that he begged the owner for.
I'm torn between making a pithy Darwin comment and just being bummed out at the waste....
Yeah, kind of a waste to trash a good wood chipper like that.I'm torn between making a pithy Darwin comment and just being bummed out at the waste....
Just needs a good pressure washing and it'll be good as new.
