From the Writer
Depart it to me to seek out an attention-grabbing previous automotive within the shadow of Mount Rushmore. This Porsche 912 has been off the highway for many years, and till just a few years in the past it might have been thought of a throwaway. Curiosity in four-cylinder Porsches is on the rise, so it’s abruptly extra fascinating.
Right here’s a bit of kit that fascinated me: an enormous four-cylinder engine block used for mining and excavation gear. I’m 6′3″ (190 centimeters) and the engine is greater than twice as tall. I’m standing subsequent to the flywheel, which is mendacity on the bottom, and on the precise is the muffler. For mechanical geeks like me, that is very cool.
Sure, Virginia, there actually is a North Pole! South of Fairbanks, is a year-round Christmas city, a serious vacationer attraction for households visiting the final frontier. A Santa Claus–home vacation retailer, sweet cane streetlights, collections of youngsters’s letters written to Santa Claus, avenue names like Mistletoe Lane and Kris Kringle Drive, and a small herd of domesticated reindeer make this a preferred vacation spot a vacation deal with, everytime you go to.
