Nitro
Nitro car

I wasn't even sure what Nitro Cars were, but this looks cool. According to this site nitro cars are like the glow fuel powered model airplanes I used to regularly dash into the pavement as a kid.

Model airplane flying went something like: build, build, fly, crash, fix, fix, fix, crash, fix, fix, crash, etc...

Now days you can avoid all of that. There's a device that hooks to your Mac or PC (via USB) and lets you use a RC (radio control) transmitter to fly an RC airplane in a PC flight simulator. No more worrying about VORs, ILS, or GPS when you barely use a whole runway in a day's worth of simulated flying.

It's not turtles, it's simulators all the way down.
