Kutchuka kumabwera ndi zabwino zina, monga malipiro omwe amamupangitsa kukhala m'modzi mwa otolera magalimoto otchuka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi.

Ndi gulu lodabwitsa la magalimoto pafupifupi 300-400 okhala ndi mtengo wopitilira $50 miliyoni (kupatula mtengo wam'tsogolo wamagalimoto omwe akukonzedwanso), ndibwino kunena kuti payenera kukhala magalimoto apadera. anaimika m’galaja yake pafupi ndi bwalo la ndege la Burbank.

Kwa zaka zambiri, Leno wakhala wolemekezeka kwambiri pamagalimoto odziwa zambiri zamagalimoto akale komanso amakono moti ali ndi mizati yake ya Popular Mechanics ndi Sunday Times, komanso chiwonetsero chake chagalimoto cha Jay Leno's Garage pa CNBC. - Kumene adawonetsa anthu gawo lazosonkhanitsa zake zodabwitsa.

Mwa magalimoto onse osankhidwa bwino, obwezeretsedwa bwino omwe amapanga gulu lake losanjidwa bwino, pali magalimoto omwe amawonekeradi kuti ndi apadera kwambiri. Mwina chapadera kwambiri mwa izi ndi ntchito yopangidwa ndi manja ya Blastolene Special. Ngakhale kuti ili kutali ndi galimoto yodula kwambiri m'gulu lake, ndithudi ndi imodzi mwa zokongola kwambiri. Galimoto yomwe imatha kukhala yayikulu komanso yamphamvu, ndipo nthawi yomweyo imawoneka yomasuka, ikhoza kukhala galimoto yabwino kwambiri kwa okonda magalimoto enieni.

25 Tsopano mtengo wake ndi $350,000.

Titha kunena kuti Jay Leno adapeza ndalama zenizeni pomwe adagula Blastolene Special kwa $ 125,000 yokha mu 2003. Makamaka pamene adawona mtengo wamasiku ano.

Komabe, adawononganso ndalama zochepa pakukweza galimotoyo. Sindingayerekeze kuganiza kuti ndi ndalama zingati zomwe zidayikidwamo.

Kodi mtengo weniweni udzakhala wotani ndizosatheka kunena. Ndi galimoto yapadera kwambiri, yamtundu umodzi, kotero imatha kupita ku mtengo wake, mwina mochulukirapo, mwinanso pang'ono. Chilichonse chidzadalira msika panthawiyo.

24 Iwo samachitcha icho chitsime chachabe.

Ngakhale ena angaganize kuti dzina lake lotchulidwira "Tank Truck" ndi chifukwa cha kukula kwake, injini yake yaikulu ndi chifukwa cha kutchulidwa kwake. AV-1790-5B ndi injini ya 1792 kiyubiki inchi yomwe idagwiritsidwa ntchito poyambirira mu thanki, tanki ya 1950 ton M51 Patton ya 47s.

Patton amalemera 92,883 101,775 mapaundi - opanda kanthu. Thanki yokhala ndi zida zonse inali yolemera mapaundi 233. Pokhala ndi magaloni 80 amafuta m'bwato, Patton azitha kuyenda pafupifupi mailosi 6 pansi. Ndilo pafupifupi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu a mpg, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti Blastolene XNUMX mailosi pa galoni awoneke ngati wamkulu poyerekeza. Zimatanthawuzanso kuti chiwombankhanga chomwe chili pansi pa hood chimakhala ndi kulemera kochepa kwambiri kuti akoke.
