I'd be interested to know more about it. I'm by no means an engineer, but I do know my way around a small block Ford. Mine has the 400 horsepower, but the only way it will get 110 miles to the gallon is to drop it to Earth from 110 miles up.

Boy you sure do assume a good many things. I'd be interested in what you would be able to do to affect the actions of the US military. Are you perhaps the collective E-voice of congress? I've seen a good chunk of this world, and judging from your need to be "right" on the internet your world view is formed by Gawker…

None of the things you have stated are fact. I spent 8 years as an infantryman and cross trained with Japanese, Korean, German, British, and Iraqi military. I don't know where you saw them, but I'd wager it was on Youtube. You see the world through a very narrow prism. I pity you. The US has done a lot of wrong in the…

I'm not sure about the mill in the Maser, but I know Ferraris of old needed 20,000 mile services to the tune of $15-20k. Not entirely affordable.

The Aurora is supposed to be the plane that replaced the SR-71. You know whatever it is, it has to be pretty damn cool to have replaced the SR-71.

I see someone doesn't have a grasp on the concept of deterrence. The truth of the matter is, nobody has what it takes to win a stand up fight with the US military. Maybe someday you should make a trip to west Afghanistan or east Pakistan and see what wonderful people are hiding in the caves there. As for the whole…

Very cool!

It would be in a different category, but as the salesman told me when I was buying my car, a lot of people come in to look at an FR-S because it's pretty, then back out because it's rear wheel drive and end up in a TC. As enthusiasts, we are in the minority of the car buying world. A small Ford coupe might even suffer…

I'd say dust off the Capri name. I'd be very surprised if Ford would risk eating into V6 Mustang sales with a small rear drive coupe.

Well, I've gotten a lot of compliments on my FR-S from the ladies. The Fiesta ST was on my radar as far as a new car went, but as soon as I test drove the FR-S I was sold. They had exactly what I wanted on the Scion lot as far as color and transmission, the local Ford dealership didn't know when they'd have a Fiesta…

I suppose I'm not worried about it because I'm daily driving it, and aside from it driving like a dream, it's been averaging 34mpg. When I do have a need for horsepower and torque I have a 70 Mustang with a 331 stroker motor thats putting out somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-450hp. I suppose that helps me be…

I'd say it's fair to say that people who haven't driven one, yet complain about "only 200hp" really don't get it. I got my FR-S a little over a week ago and I love it just as it is. It certainly doesn't feel underpowered by any stretch. My 94 Mustang GT will walk away from it on a hard launch, but it won't stand a…

The portion west of the Urals is in Europe. Did your high school geography book come from one of those ultra Christian home school courses?

During the cold war there were B-52s in the air at all times, but that hasn't been the case for well over 20 years now.

If you do some sleuthing, you'll find that it didn't grip as good as RX-7's or Supras of the day at twice the price. The NSX isn't as super as people seem to need to think it was. It was just a very good, but overpriced, sports car not a supercar. That being said, I'd still love to have one.

For me it was a metallic green 1970 Mercury Cyclone that sat in front of a house across from my elementary school. I never once saw the car move, which gave me ample time to ogle it during recess and waits for the school bus at the end of the day. According to it's badging it left the factory with a 429, I don't know…

Replacing the alternator on my old Audi 4000.

My first car was an Audi 4000S, and I always wanted one of these. If I had the money I'd be in contact with the guy right now trying to get it. The cheapest Quattro I've seen was about $12,000 in the Bay Area, and it looked very worn out compared to this one.

Actually, the Missouri was retrofitted for Desert Storm, it can fire Tomahawks, but it's thirst for diesel is likely the number one reason for it likely not being called back into service again. I did the tour in February, so it's fairly fresh in my mind.

It's speculation to say the Iowa class ships won't be in service again. While they are currently floating museums, they are maintained to a level of readiness that Congress can call them back into action at any time, which they reserved the right to do before allowing them to become museums.
