Fellow Car Nuts:
I remember laughing when I posted

"Yea, we make the coolest cars on earth!" I said--not too humbly.
Then I read this and decided I am NOT worthy. The SR-71 is an AWESOME piece of machinery. Possibly the greatest piece ever made!
My father was a fuels officer in the Air Force and worked on the fuel delivery trucks to refuel those babies. He told me the first time they filled up a tanker the fuel ate through the tank and they ended up with a jellied puddle on the runway with everyone looking at each other. The General was pissed, of course, and said "FIX IT!" So, they ended up getting stainless steel tanker trucks to haul the fuel.
Enjoy!
