Audi Factory
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007Hundreds of new Audi A4, A6, A8s, and others await at the factory in Ingolstadt, Germany to be shipped to various parts of the world. They’re not painted white, rather wrapped in white cellophane to protect the cars from the elements. Scroll around to see just how massive the Audi plant is.

Nellis Threat Training Facility “Petting Zoo”
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006The Threat Training Facility is a collection of enemy weapons systems that have been tested by the US military. The “petting zoo” provides hands on familiarity with the enemy weapon systems. Note the SA-2 missiles, the Sukhoi SU-7 and MiG-17 out front, and the Mi-14 and Mi-24 helicopters out back along with dozens of other missiles, tanks and anti-aircraft batteries.

New Vehicles
Thursday, June 8th, 2006The following is a quick tour of the Dundalk terminal at the Port of Baltimore. This terminal handles RoRo vehicle carriers, with thousands of interesting vehicles just sitting around doing nothing - a Bird’s Eye Tourist’s dream! Each of the following links leads to a different view.
First and foremost, the terminal has a nice collection of brand new cars and trucks. A little exploring reveals several hundred new tractors, here and here, and other farming vehicles such as combine harvesters. If cars and tractors aren’t your thing, how about a brand new excavator or bulldozer? I don’t know what these are, but they come in your choice of red, blue or black. And finally, no collection of interesting vehicles would be complete without 45 brand new school buses!

LARC-60 Amphibious Vehicles
Saturday, May 27th, 2006The LARC-60 transports wheeled and tracked vehicles, including beach preparation equipment and general cargo from ship to shore or to inland transfer points. It is the only amphibian in the US Army inventory, and the only vessel capable of landing on a beach through a breaking surf. You can see ground level views of these vehicles in this LiveJournal entry.
