Love the A-10

Most of this stuff I've seen a zillion times.

But...

I'd never seen the side-by-side comparison of
the cannon and that known quantity of auto.

Very useful car, the Bug. Also comparable in weight to the 16 inch
shells fired by the Iowa-class battleships.

My cousin once successfully beat a speeding ticket, arguing the
radar-confusing stealth properties of the curves on his '64 Bug. Well,
that, and the extreme unlikelihood that the then 30 year-old VW could
possibly manage anywhere near 90 mph on the flat, much less climbing
the mountain pass where he got pulled over.

They also look good with a mohawk and sideburns...
