IHC After Dark XTREME: “My Life at Speed”
We basically built a custom $80k - 200 horsepower+ 4 wheel drive turbo charged XP1K3 RZR and ripped through the ruins of Youngstown, Ohio.
220 horsepower doesn’t sound like a lot of horsepower, that is unless your car ways 1500 pounds. To make it even better throw in 4 wheel drive, 18 inches of suspension travel, a front diff cutting break to rotate the car and you have the new custom built XP1K3 RZR Turbo. Built specifically for RJ Anderson to perform mind bending stunts the car started at a stock RZR Turbo 1000 and was stripped to the ground and given the best performance parts on the market. Even some prototype parts.
A rocket test, probably a UFO off the coast of Los Angeles last night had all of southern California freaking out
When a bright blue light came streaking through the sky yesterday evening, just off the coast of LA, but visible as far west as Las Vegas, people noticed. A lot of people. Was it a meteor? A missile test? A UFO?
The correct answer, according to the military, was that it was a test of an unarmed Trident III missile, that just happened to reflect sunlight in the upper atmosphere just right to look freaky as hell. But that’s what THEY want you to think…
Anyone in California catch a glimpse of this thing last night?
theverge:
NASA headquarters are in Houston, Texas after all, so the music scene must be having some sort of influence on the rocket scientists. The singer (who I really hope is a NASA employee as well) details interesting facts about the station in twanging verse.
SCIENCE AND BANJOS!
