Have you ever been to Irving? It is the concentration of Indian and Arab “brown” people in the metroplex, so let’s take a step off the jump-to-conclusions mat. It’s not like he was living in Weatherford.

Ah David Axe...the bastion of objectivity...

DARPA says the landing gear could be adapted to many helicopters without a huge impact on the craft’s weight

Man who doesn’t love a set of chrome FSM wheels

The 6 speed saves this one.

Oh no, it definitely proves you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Newton also called Norman a “pissant,” which is a wildly underutilized insult.

Manual, 4x4, diesel, cloth seats, extended cab, 1/4 ton, de-chromed....we would own one of these in a heartbeat here in the US.

Le sigh.

My wife refuses to drive or even test drive an automatic.

Your dad is not “the certain kind of driver we all kind of roll our eyes at” the article is referring to. At all. Not sure why you even mention someone like him.

Sorry I don’t drive a manual to be orders of magnitude faster than anything, and rather prefer to keep the car within legal speed limits 99% of the time. The whole “automatics are so much faster” is a strawman because nobody is even making an argument against that fact. I don’t track my daily driver either; almost…

Or they could just buy a vehicle with a manual transmission and learn to drive something that takes some skill, coordination, and physical involvement.

Unfortunately, Audi has decided to abandon this option for 2017 and beyond.

This has 5.7 GTO syndrome. Looks like a standard plebian GM vehicle.

The SS needs to be de-chromed and made angrier.

Did you miss the part where you snarkily mentioned your list of “traditionally glorious tank warfare nations” which included India?

Dude, you f-ed up. Why you’ve got to double down instead of showing some humility and admit it is beyond me.

Was anyone else waiting for Beef Supreme to show up?

Not much to do with “hydraulics”.

The Bo-105 has a rigid rotor head which is what allows the aerobatics you see from the Red Bull team. The Mi-28 is fully articulated soft-in-plane, which isn’t to say its not aerobatic, but you are not going truly inverted like the Bo-105.

Either case, control loads and hydraulics are…

VRS

I want to like the New Cadillacs....but their design ethos yields some hideous and bulbous rear ends in my eyes.

Plus, CUE and haptic touch on a console is one of the most maddeningly frustrating things in existence.

Those two things kept my last purchase properly Teutonic.

David Axe has a perpetual axe to grind with certain platforms, because arguing against evil defense contractors on behalf of John Q Taxpayer will garner you clicks and readership.

I can’t stand much of anything he writes nowadays. Less substance and more screaming into the echo chamber.

THANK YOU
