📌 “OF CHARIOTS AND HORSES” A couple of thousands years back, we had chariots and horses. Today while we still have horses, we have many other things that symbolise might, power, strength perhaps even superiority - vehicles of all sorts, for example. Think of fighter jets, gigantic ships, super fast trains, racing cars like the Ferrari etc. Increasingly over the years there is also human strength or factors such as knowledge, intellect, technology, money, number of people, the list is endless. These things are not bad in themselves, but we can be sure they have their limits. But what do we do when faced with challenges and battles in our lives? On what or whom do we place our dependency, reliance and trust for victory?

One of the most iconic vehicles that everyone will recognize is the Jeep! There are many iconic cars that were made famous by TV shows and movies. And there are iconic vehicles that stand out over time. But there are few vehicles that just about everyone will recognize immediately, at first sight. The Jeep is one of those vehicles. Originally the Willys-Overland MB, it was commissioned for the U.S. military to fulfill the need for a light, rugged and versatile reconnaissance vehicle during World War II. We have not been able to reach a consensus of where the name ‘Jeep’ originated, but there is no doubt that the modern descendants, the Jeep CJ and Wrangler, epitomizes the all-around utility of this wartime utility vehicle. From Willys to Ford to Chrysler, the Jeep maintains the heritage that was born during a time of great need. Whether you are looking for a vintage Jeep model, or one of the latest 4 door Jeep Wranglers, the U.S. is a great place to find one. They are available in almost any version, even if you have to resort to an auction for the older vintage models. If you decide to buy one in Dallas, TX or Saint Paul, MN, there is a better way of handling it depending on the vehicle location and port of export. For advice on how to handle your purchase, and how to get it exported, drop me a DM #export #cars #vintage

✈️ Day 2: The Maverick Who Took to the Skies Did you know that Ratan Tata isn’t just a business visionary but also an adventurer at heart? At the age of 69, he became the first Indian to pilot an F-16 fighter jet! 🛩️ In 2007, Tata showcased his undying curiosity and zest for life when Lockheed Martin invited him to fly the F-16 at an air show in Bangalore. His passion for flying wasn’t new—it began in his youth when he learned to fly small planes. However, taking the controls of a fighter jet at an age when most are settling into retirement, he proved that there are no limits to pursuing what excites you. This story reminds us that age is truly just a number, and if you have the will to push boundaries, you can continue to soar high—no matter the odds. _"I don't believe in taking right decisions. I take decisions and then make them right."_ — Ratan Tata What can we learn? Life is full of opportunities to reinvent yourself.

🔲 #GUARDRAIL #CRASH #TESTS WITH #RIVIAN AND #TESLA PROVIDES NEW INSIGHTS: Crash tests performed on guardrails, highlighted concerns. At 60 mph, the 7,000-plus-pound, Rivian R1T truck tore through the barrier, with little reduction in speed. In a separate test, a Tesla Model 3 sedan lifted the guardrail and passed below it, coming to rest behind the barrier. Additional crash tests are planned. 🔲 The Midwest Roadside Safety Facility at the US University of Nebraska–Lincoln recently conducted a first-of-its-kind crash test of an EV pickup truck to understand better whether currently used guardrails and US military protection measures against hostile vehicles are prepared for the growing number of EVs. Thousands of fatalities result each year from more than 100,000 run-off-road crashes involving traffic infrastructure such as roadside barriers. 🔲 There is some urgency to address this issue. As the percentage of EVs on the road increases, the proportion of run-off-road crashes involving EVs will increase, as well. - Cody Stolle, assistant director of the Midwest Roadside Safety Facility. 🔲 Earlier, the MGS has been tested with small cars that weigh up to 2,400 pounds and pickups that weigh 5,000 pounds (combustions). Up until now, little has been known about how the system will perform in crashes involving EVs, which typically weigh 20% to 50% more than gas-powered vehicles, with lower centers of gravity. ◻ Video: Midwest Roadside Safety Facility (MwRSF)/University of Nebraska-Lincoln/globalnetwork© ◻ follow globalnetwork© #ERDC | #MwRSF | #crashtest | #EV | #electricvehicle | #guardrail | #USmilitary | Andreas Herrmann Guilherme Pereira Arin Tori Mona Demmel Gayen Stolzenberg Jennifer Wang Nicolas Thiel Richard Goebelt Risa Komiya Garnil C.
