they didn't put wheels on their plane, so why am I posting about Orville and Wilbur Wright? They invented the airplane propeller, the airplane engine, and put wheels on their launch catapult

Did I ever post about the Marx brothers racing a 1928 Mercedes S 28 /180 boat tail speedster on Muroc in 1932?

Zeppo and Chico made a bet with a Hollywood producer that their car was faster than his Duesenburg.. and they went to Muroc with a huge crowd to see which was.. the Mercedes lost that one, Eddie Miller Jr, driving the Duesenberg, won.
Hollywood was represented by all of The Marx Brothers, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Al Jolson, Carole Lombard, Mae West, Ben Lyon, Leila Hyams. The automotive side was represented by Eddie Miller, Harry Miller, and oil tycoon Earl Gilmore.
Both cars were stripped for racing with the Duesenberg being prepared for racing by Eddie Miller with the enthusiastic approval of E.L. Cord.
Harry Miller flagged them off
The race started at 6:30 a.m. on a September 1932. The Mercedes sprinted ahead supercharger wailing, but the Duesenberg caught the lighter Mercedes on the first lap, and it was all over. Eddie Miller said that he shifted the Duesenberg into top at 5,200 rpm. The engine blew three quarts of oil out during the 109 mph run.
the car was at the 2010 and 2011 possibly, Pebble Beach Concours

Advice for all XM/Sirius subscribers
Diposting oleh Unknown on Kamis, 23 Mei 2013
They sent me a "renewal" letter in the mail. Quite a good deal they are promoting
25 dollars, you get 6 months, for the radio that you've stopped subscribing on, and for any other radios you have that get XM/Sirius.
I got the letter because I got rid of a car and cancelled XM/Sirius, and they had been charging me 15 dollars a month.
15 a month.
Now to get my business back they'll give me 6 months at 25 dollars total.
I called to get this applied to my daily driver. The letter says it is for every additional radio you have in addition to the one you are renewing for.
This means that even if I had the car I don't own any more turned back on, and my car renewed for 6 months... both cars would cost me 50 dollars for 6 months. Still 40 dollars cheaper than what they charge by the month for one car.
So I called, and asked what I was currently paying for the car I have... they said my current subscription offer is for about 100 dollars, 12 months, doesn't expire til January of 2014.
I asked if that was all, and they said no.
HERE IS THE IMPORTANT PART
They said my AUTOMATIC renewal would then occur, and I'd be charged 175 dollars for the 12 months after that.
So, I advice all of you to check on the renewal situation of your XM/Sirius radio contract or subscription, tell them you are cancelling. A couple months down the line, you'll get a sweet heart offer for 1/4 or less of the normal charge.
Just thought you'd like to know.
