Combs died Tuesday in Alvord Desert in southeast Oregon.

R. I. P. Jessie Combs, you were inspirational I must say!

Maybe there is, an attempt for a world record usually is video recorded.
Probably not to be released to the public.

Maybe you could star in a snuff film for us.

Sad. Saw this yesterday.

I am curious about how the wreck happened, as it isn't mentioned in that article at all.

Did she flip the car? Did it blow up? Did it lift off? Did it create a singularity and disappear from our reality after passing 399 mph, and so she didn't so much as die, but merely exit our plain of reality with nothing left behind?

That sensitive, huh?

honest question: do you have the assburgers, or something along those lines?

Maybe but it's enormously fun watching you fret over banal shitposts, either way

I feel like you need something to fill out your day. Considered adopting a kid?

I saw this in the news the other day. I immediately recognized the name because I've seen some of the car shows she worked on over the years.

Sad news.

You better need to calibrate your 'humor." Just yesterday, you went so far over the line of acceptability, that zin's question is a legitimate one.

I believe you can do better. I hope you prove me right.

His comment was about how insensitive your comment was (you're "disappointed" that you couldn't see the video of her death).

no, it's that you don't seem to understand the appropriateness of your shitposts, in proper situations (like, how actual humans interact and properly apply humor based on context), and how to distinguish an actual shitpost from a simple, ribald, having-some-fun-post.

Hence my question.

yes, that, but more in reference to what Perk posted.

Dude was first offended that someone, in AT tradition, asked for "pics of mother" in some thread of his. Got suddenly offended.
Then, out of spite, or simply because he lacks normal human empathy, retorts along the same lines in Burn it Down's thread. ...which proves nothing to anyone if that was "his point" about being offended in a low-level, standard topic, vs the other thread.

They use metal wheels as no rubber tire would sustain these kinds of speeds. I liked the woman . She was fun, and good at what she did. RIP

The Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles will open a special exhibit this Sunday, Sept. 22, honoring Jesse Combs, “The Fastest Woman on Four Wheels.” Combs died last month during a land-speed record attempt in the Oregon desert. Admission to the exhibit is by suggested donation with proceeds benefiting The Jesse Combs Foundation.

The mission of the Foundation is to educate, inspire and empower the next generation of female trailblazers and stereotype breakers.

“Jesse Combs: Life at Full Speed” will feature stuff from her workshop and studio including several of her motorcycles, personal notebooks and memorabilia. There’s also stuff from her time on “Overhaulin’" with Chip Foose, welding jackets, helmets and some medals and trophies.

Petersen Museum to honor fabricator Jessi Combs .
