    They kept trying things like this, though it never made any sense. There’s no good reason to push against the air, when pushing against the ground is an option.

      Unless you need to go faster than the traction with the ground would allow. You’d just need the fan to be more of a compressor and inject some fuel into the airstream.

            I regret complaining that she only did NSFW memes (she didn’t).

            But it did bite her in the ass, didn’t it?

                She posted that she did get laid, a day or so before she left.

                She complained that she hardly got the dude to wear a condom, but it went well apparently.

          The last thing to go through your mind will be your own ass. Something kinda like those old Nickelodeon Inside Out Boy cartoons.

        Yes, I did assume that fuel efficiency was an important criterion.

        Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed.

      Based on the prop size this car has, I’m assuming that that train wasn’t going far?
