I've used CUE. Its a steaming pile of crap. It was the single feature that made me cross the ATS off my list. A good buddy got one, and whenever Im in that car trying to get the damn HVAC controls to respond it drives me NUTS. He grudgingly concedes its annoying and laggy, making is dangerously distracting while he…

He should have been arrested for buying an S-model Audi with that ATROCIOUS red lobster interior. I swear to God every used S4 and S5 I came across while car shopping had that garbage!

I see variations of these around, and always chuckle.

I really dont think the KTVU anchorwoman realized what she was saying at all. Oblivious to the mondegreens.

I presume it had something to do with: "The AP reports that the girl was on the ground and was covered in foam from the firefighting efforts."

I was waiting for this the moment I clicked post and realized what I had typed

My wife and I went to see Atomic Annie on display back where I grew up a couple summers ago. Talk about impressive in person.

Do a barrel roll!!!!

Reductio ad absurdum, but the point is still there.

Yes precisely, helicopters are ususally shot down at low altitude, hence the huge increase in survivability that a tiltrotor provides by being able to cruise at high speed and high altitude then convert to descend into an LZ.

More regurgitated junk data from G2mil, huh?

...and we could avoid all Marine deaths by not flying in rotary wing aircraft. Strange you condemn the V22 rather than all flying vehicles. Its currently tied for the safest helicopter in USMC inventory

50 billion dollars is one (1) year of military spending in India or Germany.

Define "often doesnt work".

Not sure what your point is. So has every other military vehicle, to much more of a degree than the Osprey. Take a casual look into how many Marines the CH-53 has killed.

Typo, I meant to post $6 billion

I dunno, you're talking about the most revolutionary rotary wing aircraft produced in history, which has become quite the successful workhorse for the USMC. For a tech-packed program like that, $35 billion for the R&D and 400 of them does not seem to be terribly overpriced, especially considering how much is spent on…

You're about 30% high there.

A-12 Avenger II. $60 billion for a mockup.

I want to see the 3 sedan next to the 6 sedan...I cant get a feeling for scale in these pics. It looks huge.
