I nominate Highway 95 through southeast Oregon. You go from 70mph in Nevada, to 55mph in Oregon. What you find on the other side of McDermitt, Nevada is straight runs of highway with a sparing number of turns. You pass through Burns Junction, which sometimes, but not often is populated by a highway patrolman manning a…

As the owner of a FA20, I'm here to tell you that you are terrible misinformed about the price of turbo charging a FA20 and the price of modding a LS. Spend $4,000 modding a FA20 you end up with 260 horsepower, spend $4,000 modding a LS and you are comfortably north of 500 horsepower, a 500+ horsepower that is daily…

Thats what I’m hoping for. I used to have a late 70’s Suzuki enduro in my teens but haven’t had a streetable bike since. This is as close to those old UJM’s as you can get in a modern bike and I think it would be a boat load of fun.

I’d heard they were considering the Mustang as a replacement for the Torino in NASCAR, and that was mainly responsible for the growth in size, and the 429 for 71.

I’d say 71 was the last truly good year. Emissions crept in in 72 and choked the engines pretty badly, not that you couldn't spend the afternoon peeling the stuff off and get a lot of the horsepower back. But the high compression fire breathing motors died in 71, at least for Ford.

Not surprising, there was a pretty big wave of 70’s nostalgia in the mid 90’s.

Being a Stark would mean he had the blood of the kings of the north aside from the Targaryan blood.

Spot on, I’ve had my FR-S for just shy of two years now, I’ve had several 300+ horsepower cars, and don’t miss even one horsepower in my FR-S. I’m perfectly fine having a car I can drive as hard as I want on mountain switchbacks without getting into trouble, and still be able to average in the high 30mpgs when I drive…

It was continually tested in Yuma throughout my enlistment from 98-02

The V-22 program was started in the late 70’s, and by the late 90’s when I was in the Marine Corps they were still killing Marines a squad at a time loading them into those things. I would hope it takes less than 25 years to unfuck the F-35. The Airforce does get quite a bit more money than the Marines though.

It also doesn't have the external turbines, but whichever it is, it is pretty well stripped down.

That would be a CH-46, a Chinook is a CH-47, and much bigger.

No, thats not the way that works, like is mentioned by others, these companies are often if not always run by high ranking retirees from the US military. Which is a small, exclusive community where everyone knows everyone. When they look at your resume and see what unit you were with you better believe that someone in…

Tell that to cops in the U.S. Whenever anything happens they are better equipped than your average infantryman in Iraq or Afghanistan were/are. Not to mention all the armored personnel vehicles they have. But this is getting off topic. It would be nice if folks would get through their heads that Clarkson is the…

I would think they would do well in cities here, especially places where parking space is at a premium like San Francisco or Seattle. They wouldn't need to maintain highway speeds that much, and at $16,000 it would be a lot better on fuel than a Smart Car, or one of those horrible little Scion iQ's. It would be great…

At least we won't have to listen to the beating of the "British Top Gear is better!" dead horse anymore.

Great song, but it was on The Wall

The secret to diesel not having more of a foothold than it does is this. Democrat politicians are every bit as stupid as Republican politicians, just in different areas. They fight small diesel cars tooth and nail because when they hear diesel they think jacked up Dodge Rams spewing black smoke.

No Toyota Land Cruisers?

I'm surprised people are still surprised that a very light, very able to fit a well built V8, Mustang II can be built to perform well.
