Road Atlanta 1986. This car was fast- fast enough to run in the top three with the Porsches, Nissans, etc. It was loud too, when they fired it up you could feel the shockwaves from 40 feet away. It just didn't run for very long at a time.
A couple of years later I was talking to Scott Pruett and Pete Halsmer when they were running the Roush Merkurs in Palm Beach. They were signing autographs while the GTP cars were practising. I suggested that Jack should have the black car here for them to run, and they both looked at each other, rolled their eyes, and shuddered.
The Ford Probe is a sports coupe produced by Ford, introduced in 1989 to replace the Ford EXP as the company's sport compact car.
The Probe was fully based on the Mazda G-platform using unique sheet metal and interior. The instrument cluster and pop-up headlight mechanisms are borrowed from the FC RX-7.
While it was sold worldwide as a sporty coupe, the Probe was intended to fill the market niche formerly occupied by the Capri in Europe, and although it was intended as the replacement to the Ford EXP, it was also considered a possible replacement for the Ford Mustang in the North American market as a direct competitor with the Acura Integra and the Toyota Celica. During that time, Ford's marketing team had deemed that a front-wheel drive platform (borrowed Mazda GD and GE platforms) would have lower costs for production, and also because the platform had been gaining popularity with the consumers.
Mustang fans objected to the front-wheel drive configuration, Japanese engineering, and lack of a V8, so Ford began work on a new design for the Mustang instead. On March 17, 1997, Ford announced the discontinuation of the Probe, Thunderbird, Cougar, and Aerostar.

This is one of the creepiest game box designs I've seen. The near-headless man in the striped tie is unsettling. Is he married to the blonde with bangles? Who is the woman with the pen. Why can't we see her face? Who is probing whom? Everything about this game concept bothers me. Except for the fact the playing pieces are alphabet cards that make great collage bits.
Bought on a half-price day at Goodwill.
The Parker Brother Game of Words.
Seen in the sky over Sydney on 12 August at 1831. Appeared to drift east on the strong wind but must have been too high as it was seen from southern Queensland to Tasmania and apparently was the Parker solar probe launched from Florida. Seen widely in eastern Australia. This photo was taken an hour after the probe was launched on an eastern trajectory from Florida.
So nice I thought it deserved two shots.
You know a car has me in awe, when I actually bother to get out of the comfort and safety of my own car and take proper up close shots like this.
I had my gran in the car when I saw this, and she was quite surprised that I wanted to stop for photos. "Is it expensive?" she asked.
we've begun launch review today, will take most of this week to complete. Here's a launch image from the water tower
This is an old probe thing I made one day for some unknown reason. It looks vaguely like the weird probe-thingies from the original Clone Wars cartoon.

ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) scientist Jennifer Comstock cleans a probe on an instrument attached to the Gulfstream-159 (G-1) aircraft.
From June to October 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility deployed the G-1 research aircraft above wildfires in the U.S. Pacific Northwest region, near Little Rock, Arkansas and in the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee, as part of the Biomass Burning Observation Project (BBOP). The aircraft flew through smoke plumes from forest fires and agricultural field burns—types of “burning biomasses”—to measure various properties of aerosol particles soon after they form and as they change over time.

Designed to float high up into the lower atmosphere, which extends up to 18km, this gas-filled envelope allows us to explore higher than is currently possible by rocket technology. At around 16.5km the outside air pressure is so thin the envelope can no longer hold in the gas and it will burst, allowing the payload to return to the surface with its scientific data.

The atmospheric entry probe part of a representative model of the twin Vega (Вега) spacecraft, part of the Soviet space programme. Vega 1 and 2 were launched on Proton rockets from Baikonur on 15 and 21 December 1984, respectively, heading for Venus, where they arrived on 11 and 15 June 1985, respectively.
Both Vega 1 and 2 deployed probes with designs similar to those of the Venera (Венера) series: both contained a surface lander and a balloon, contained within a spherical container (seen here). After a high speed atmospheric entry at 125km, parachutes were used to slow the probes down, with accelerations reaching hundreds of g. Release of the cap section at 64km altitude revealed the balloon package, after which the balloon was filled an operated at 54km altitude.
The bottom half of the shell was released and then the main chute, leaving the probe to fall on its own from an altitude of 47km for an hour to the surface, slowed purely by aerodynamic braking in the dense Venusian atmosphere. The Vega 1 probe operated for 20 minutes under surface conditions of 467˚C and 95 atmospheres: some of its surface experiments had been prematurely initiated at an altitude of about 18km by a very hard shock in the atmosphere. Vega 2's lander returned data for 56 minutes under conditions of 463˚C and 91 atmospheres.
The two carrier spacecraft then continued on to conduct flybys of Comet 1P/Halley on 6 and 9 March 1986, coming within 8890km and 8030km of the nucleus, respectively. They thus obtained images prior to the flyby of ESA's Giotto on 13 March, helping the latter to target its approach at 596km.
