Ohiostiva 2009

I'll give it a shot.

Any other NJ/PA people going?? (Thinking mini-convoy?)

[SIBladerunner]

I'm gonna do my best, but I'm sure I can get there.

[Damkid]

I'm just waiting for a few extra dollars to buy a B6T ECU to hopefully (finally) get my red festiva going and then i should be there in that car, if not i'll be in the 300ZX (yet again)

^^^Not a problem, I can use parts off of either one.

LOL!!! I would like to get more parts for each, not get rid of them!

If I were to come it would either be in this car:

or this car!!

[Pu241]

Looks like my car is on its way to being done in time for the meet.

We said many time before we don't care if its finished, just be there, or we will pick you up on the way and drop you off on the way back!

[Gomez]

OK, door panels are done, Center dash is midway, and a-pillars are next. Looks like my car is on its way to being done in time for the meet.

[Pu241]

OK, so we'll count you when we see you!

[91blufestiva]

I might, I hope, maybe, I can't really plan yet until I get my license, and if my parents would let me make that long haul.

[Pu241]

We diverge somewhat sometimes!
But I don't see too many complaints.
Feel free to bring us back on topic.
You going to make to Ohiostiva?

[91blufestiva]

I thought this thread was supposed to be about ohiostiva.

By the 8 blue arms of Vishnu, Jim, you know I can't read! I just like to watch fissionable things go past critical mass!

Better if they achieve super critical mass!
Bigger boom.

(I'm trying to convince iRobot that they need to have a low-yield thermonuclear option for the ROOMBA... call it... call it the, uhhh.... "BOOMBA"...)

Low yield thermo nuke very hard to make small enough to fit on ROOMBA.
But, a 155mm artillery shell has been used to house a standard fission warhead;
weight unknown.
Back pack nuke was reported to weigh 40 lbs.

^^^ He said, "FLIGHT TEST", not "DESTRUCTIVE CRASH TEST"!!!!
LOL!

Sam, did you read either of those two articles?!

To quote Merkle;
"Pluto's namesake was Roman mythology's ruler of the underworld -- seemingly an apt inspiration for a locomotive-size missile that would travel at near-treetop level at three times the speed of sound, tossing out hydrogen bombs as it roared overhead. Pluto's designers calculated that its shock wave alone might kill people on the ground. Then there was the problem of fallout. In addition to gamma and neutron radiation from the unshielded reactor, Pluto's nuclear ramjet would spew fission fragments out in its exhaust as it flew by. (One enterprising weaponeer had a plan to turn an obvious peace-time liability into a wartime asset: he suggested flying the radioactive rocket back and forth over the Soviet Union after it had dropped its bombs.)"

It wouldn't have to crash to wreak total havok!!!
