TIL that the heated seats and steering wheel in a 2020 Charger (rental) are useless. It's not because they don't work, it's that they go from 0 to "you are now on fire" in less than 30 seconds, and that was on the low setting. I didn't have the nerve to try the high setting.

If you look at the closest one you can see Tom Cruise going over his lines in the plane.

We still had Corsairs on the Carl Vinson in '86. I watched a pilot eject from one as it rolled over the side because of brake failure. He was all kinds of fucked up but he survived. I think those ejection seats were particularly brutal.

That picture is in reference to tow bars not the F-14 from the other post.

Sort of an inside joke. But you should see the look of total horror on Ultra's face when he suddenly spots a tow bar!

It's like my shins had magnets.

I think that it was supposed to be a sarcastic statement. Those are obviously not F-14s

Well no shit.

It was misplaced sarcasm since the post with the picture had nothing to do with F-14s and only referenced tow bars.
