    Well the police was looking for a guy wearing dark pants, so he took the pants off. Somehow the police figured it out.

    The Porsche was a customer car en route to Ontario so hence keys in car, no transport mode.

    But from FB post, this location is where they stage all the brand new dealer cars offloading. Better beef up security this time or more copy cat thefts

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    Helicopter engine functionality and management is similar to a turbo-prop.

    Just couldn't understand how a helicopter would burn more fuel travelling faster (makes total sense how an airplane can) but it makes perfect sense that as the "load" on the rotors increases, the FF must be increased to compensate. I was thinking strictly in terms of %NG/N2 and not the other way around. Thanks for the clarification.

    Parasitic drag still increases as the square of KIAS - with all aircraft.

    Want to hear something really whacked? One bladed helicopters (with a counterbalanced rotor) are actually quite efficient and eliminate (obviously) neighbouring blade turbulence.

    He's no Nicolas Cage if he didn't know how to turn off transport mode. It's ridiculously easy.

    What's the end game? Are there chop shop rings in Western Canada?

    Right? How do you unload a brand new 911 turbo after you've stolen it?

    Drop it off to someone who will unload it overseas. It's not rocket science here haha.

    Is it that easy in Vancouver to ship a car overseas bypassing customs and such?

    Yes, a ton of the shipping/receiving at the port is run/controlled by organized crime (through holding companies, etc.).

    Vancouver disbanded their ports police back in the 90s I think - and things went south ever since.

    81 has strong ties to the docks/longshoremen.
