My pair of Red Chillies, as promised.
Don’t persecute me for taking this shot off a warm-up wall.
PS: I don’t own a car at the moment, but my chillies come quite close.

    ’97 Corolla I bought in Feb 2001 w/ 33K on it; since put 100K more on. Fucking things’ll run forever.

    Title’s the factory name for the color, which I’m forced to continually swear IS the original coat to many an associate, who’ve accused me over the years of subtle pimpage…riiiight.

    At least the wife likes it, and does a little dance while singing the name.

    Don’t know why I bothered with the plates –those were the old MA ones, which is where it’s parked in these pics (southwest-suburban Boston area.) They’ve got NY ones now.

    My Ride

    Long time MCS watcher (2007 or so), first time poster.

    Depending on weather / passengers I use one of the two or the POS Toyota not pictured (winter use mostly).

    First pic is my fun car (’97 6-Speed Z51 Corvette) next to my son’s fun car (repainted barbie Corvette).

    Second is the family hauler (05 Denali) with travel trailer hooked up.

    2009 Accord EX-L

    In February I gave up on my ’98 Civic as its breaks were going and I was tired of putting money into it. So, I got myself a nice yuppie car.

    Power everything, heated leather seats and 190 horses, bitches!

    (whatever, I’ll be able to comfortably fit a baby seat in it)

    My Motorsickle

    Attempting to keep with the current theme I have included a picture of my bike. Honda VTR1000F with blue flame exhausts (very loud). I’ve also got a technoflex rear shock and ktech springs in the front.

    Oh and the sign in the background says ‘No Motorcycling’.

    This is my ride. My ride is amazing.

    I took this pic in the car park, after a long days work. My ride is always pleased to see me, it does a little horse wheely – and its horn glows. Bloody MOT is coming up and my emissions are terrible.

    Kepler’s Planets

    KeplerSunsPlanets_rowe.jpg (588 KB)

    Explanation: Using the prolific planet hunting Kepler spacecraft, astronomers have discovered 1,235 candidate planets orbiting other suns since the Kepler mission’s search for Earth-like worlds began in 2009. To find them, Kepler monitors a rich star field to identify planetary transits by the slight dimming of starlight caused by a planet crossing the face of its parent star. In this remarkable illustration, all of Kepler’s planet candidates are shown in transit with their parent stars ordered by size from top left to bottom right. Simulated stellar disks and the silhouettes of transiting planets are all shown at the same relative scale, with saturated star colors. Of course, some stars show more than one planet in transit, but you may have to examine the picture at high resolution to spot them all. For reference, the Sun is shown at the same scale, by itself below the top row on the right. In silhouette against the Sun’s disk, both Jupiter and Earth are in transit.
