What cars do you own? Do you have a favourite?

I like them all for different reasons ... there’s a Grand Cherokee, an old Camaro, a camping trailer, and my Chevy ZR2.

The favorite? Probably my truck - but like I said, I’m a big fan of all of them ... but the truck eeks out the win, just because it’s so familiar. Like putting on an “old friend coat” ... if that means anything. ... and I know it can take me pretty much anywhere I could think of, that I’d want to try and drive to.

9. Favorite smell in the summer

11. Breakfast on the average morning

15. Favorite book you read as a school assignment

19. Sleeping position

49. What saying or quote do you live by

50. What made you laugh the hardest you ever have

Shades, I have to apologize this came in sometime middle of the past week and I’m just now getting to it ... 😓😓 ... anyway; thanks so much for including the questions for me, it really helps.

9. Fresh forest, after a summer rain ... maybe a cool damp mountain meadow, in the early morning mist.

11. Coffee, maybe a bowl of cereal.

15. Oofff ... probably something for one of my engineering classes. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

19. I’m a side sleeper; sometimes stomach, one leg pulled up.

49. Can’t say as I really have one ... 😕

50. The thing that jumps out at me is being a little kid (maybe 8 or 10?), sitting around playing cards after a big family dinner with my grandma & grandpa & parents; and getting all wound up with my grandma, so that we couldn’t even look at each other without giggling hysterically.

Hard crushin on neverendingcycle. Woman is a goddess

Hey @neverendingcycle ... lookee what we have here! Shades, I think you just might be onto something, there.

[trojan0405]

A have a crush on quite a few people. Unfortunately, I can't tag 'em cause a few of 'em are married.

... hey Shades, I feel that. We can always admire from afar, right?

You’re a sweetheart and you look like someone I’d love to have a beer with. 🍻

Well, shucks. Thanks, Shades!! I’m sure you’d be great to have a beer with, too; but that’s kinda hard if you’re on Anon. 😉😉

That tongue out in the hoodie selfie gave me a tingle. Just the thought of what you could do with it...

😳😏😉 ... oh really now?

What is your favorite airplane and why?

Favorite airplane ... ooohhh, that’s tough. I’m a fan of the Wright Flyer (below), simply because it was “first” ... it’s got some pretty cool ingenuity as well, with how they did control surfaces by warping the wings and whatnot.

I’m also a big fan of the YF-23 (above), which was an experimental that never got produced; it was the other finalist in the selection that generated the F-22 next-gen air superiority fighter. I think it wound up not as capable (or maybe it was similar, except for the fact that the F-22 can “super-cruise” ... or travel extended distances at greater than Mach 1, something not many - maybe none? - other aircraft can really do) as the plane that would become the F-22, but damn is it gorgeous.

Beyond that? There’s plenty to like about a lot of other planes ... my Grandad flew F-7Fs in Korea, they’re pretty special for that reason, but they were also one of the first really dedicated night-fighters (along with the P-61, which was the first *designed* for that role). The British Spitfire was one of the first mass-produced planes to really try an elliptical wing, which maximizes efficiency for a wing of defined span; as a result they look super elegant. The B-25 was the plane Doolittle used to make the first raid on Tokyo in WWII, they flew those things off of carriers, if you can believe that ... pretty amazing story in its own right. The Piagio Avanti is just wild. The F-5 is a baller little jet, and served as the stand-in for the “Mig-28s” in Top Gun.
