Tradesman 4x4, single cab, 8' bed, 3.0 diesel (if picture doesn't work)

Not true, you could get it in single cab, but it has to be the 8' bed. Something to do with wheelbase and having to re-certify the exhaust IIRC.

I just tried a Tradesman 4x4, it's showing $2850 over the Hemi. The Hemi's $1150 over the V6. I guess Canada pricing's different, or the $4500 includes features other than the diesel.

That is a very hilarious translation error.

Well, your Russian translates to "hold me by the vodka" which is interesting.

Kudos to Ram for hypermiling their way to 28mpg Highway. Let's see what the 'real-world' numbers look like...

The F-15 itself split into a couple of variants about 20 years ago; the regular fighter version, and the F-15E "Strike Eagle", which was designed as a fighter-bomber. Its this version that the the F-35 will replace.

The F-15. There isn't a navalised F-22; the F-14 wasn't directly replaced (the job of CAP fell to the F/A-18 Super Hornet instead). The F-15 and F-14 replaced the F-4 in the fighter role decades ago (in fact people tend to forget the F-4 is nearly 60 years old and the F-14 and F-15 first flew over 40 years ago).

Ground attack and close air-support mainly, but with the secondary ability to defend itself in the air. Most of the planes it's replacing have very rarely seen air-to-air combat.

Dogfighters are essentially like other fighter without some specific electronic packages that allow other planes to render defense system useless, bomb targets, etc... BUT (a big BUT)... they can stand on their own when all hell breaks loose and they are their only help, alone mano a mano.

Dogfights are not the main reason to have air superiority.

So people would wreck their Explorers, blame it on the tow equipment to such a degree that the rental company gives up on the entire platform.

He's entitled to his opinion, but his opinion is wrong.

It did in 1997 when they were designing this ship. Not really sure what your point is.

Also: why you don't cut off a big rig. I know you want to get around them, but give them plenty of room and notification so they don't have their following distance halved or quartered last minute; because you will be the filling in a smash sandwich if things go bad.

Reaction shot:

Still doesn't make it good, does it?

You can hate the Smart all you want but the ad is great.

You've got it backwards. That Maserati ad was awful. I spent most of it wondering what the hell they were advertising and being so melodramatic about. Then I saw it and I was like who cares. All that for a freaking car? Get lost.

Speaking as a Georgia Criminal Defense Attorney myself, I know I sometimes struggle with the propriety of advertising my services. Each of us (I thought) draws a line somewhere. I do not personally know this lawyer, nor do I know his reputation. What I do know is that it is beyond distasteful to use the death of…
