The thing I never understood about cockpit design is the heads up display, why make it so small? That display could be a big arching piece of glass that fills the whole space between the "dash" to the canopy. Do they keep it small due to tunnel vision?

No audio = No splash, rather disappointing... Good article though.

This is going to sound silly but do you think it would have been less attention getting and maybe more enjoyable if the car was not red?

Just searched wiki and the start cart had two Buick wildcat v8's. Pretty bad ass...

Am I hearing that correctly, does the SR 71 need a v8 to start up?

I think all signs point to yes..

I will say this, good luck to Prat when he gets to the first sizable log...

It's really the only Motorcycle for the part IMO. Sure there are way more practical options from modern dual sport/adventure bike to a straight up dirt bike. With those options all you get is plastic bits which does not seem to fit the Indiana Jones thing Prat has going on. Plus no other motorcycle brings the silver…

Female, Male whatever. Reporters don't need to be in any locker room. Historically I get the issue of access and gender equality but the answer should have been take the reporters out of the locker room not let the opposite sex in. Sure male reporters can go into female team locker rooms but that is just as…

The GT350 is what the base GT should look like.. So yes, the GT looks too soft.

Can someone help me out here, what gives with the MiG-29's engines smoking so much? Is it just an old engine design?

What's McCain doing in that Jug?! Get back in your F4!!

Leaving? Where did you hear this? He was the best thing going and could honestly build his own empire.

That's the same reason the people America fights in Afghanistan have no respect for us. In a drone v drone war what does victory mean? Would you have to take out an adversaries drone making capability? When you've done that are you back to drone v human assets?

I'm not so sure, screens allow for the greatest use of peripheral vision without adding extra weight to a soldiers head. It allows you to look without moving your head which is a much faster way to gather information, imagine if you had this heavy helmet on and had to constantly crane your head everywhere. When they…

Aw shucks and little old me will be looking for my second bike around launch time..

Lucky for that guy and it shouldn't have to be..

That's my general take. The 'A Mexican in the road' comment is really just disappointing, I mean it's a person, my guess is they thought it was funny.

Hahaha, look I'm a big fan of The Smoking Tire and maybe that guy shouldn't be crossing the road while Farah is driving, I wouldn't recommend that you do it either. It just seems like Farah has reached a level where he shouldn't be driving a press car like that and for the love of god have the brains to edit that part…

Patrick whats your take on watching your compatriots drive 'spiritedly' after your experience in Virginia? Generally Jalopnik takes an anti street racing and driving irresponsibly stance which I think is a great message for the community. Not to be a Debby downer but Farah had a kind of close call with a pedestrian…
