Yup, I drove a Cadillac SRX with one. It was either made for old people, or slow people because it would tell you to turn left at least 5 times before you actually got there. But never when you needed to turn left. NEVER.

Yeah, those early to mid 2000s navi systems are truly a fecking joke. I remember back then with a laugh telling my fellow techs how stupid they will look in 10+ years.

So many questions:

So when my phone, while sitting in my cupholder, automatically updates my gmail inbox, I get pulled over for "using" my phone?

That 7AT is atrocious. That, coupled with the horrible throttle response, and you've got a thing NOT worth wanting. Nissan refuses to improve the core aspects of their products - they are still using the same 3.7 V6 that has been in their cars since 2009. That 7AT is horrible, and even in the new "prettier"…

That strut brace isn't decorative, certainly not in the 350. Also if I wanted a backseat I would've bought the G35/7. Leave the Z as a 2 seater.

There are very few cars that strangers will stop you in to say, "hey, NICE CAR," while you respond all awkwardly, as there is no real response to that sort of thing, because what are you going to do, give a pilot "thanks" and then sit there being uncomfortable while someone grins at it ridiculously?

Ah yes, dogfighting.

define "postlapsarian" or I refuse to pay attention to anything this author spews out.

2000 pounds impacting a target at mach 3 has quite enough energy to function completely without explosives. 750 pounds of HE is quite superficial really. F=mv^2. That missile would knock a very big hole in a carrier, much less a destroyer. Pump a one ton titanium or depleted uranium projectile up to mach 7 and it…

Essentially, the Sunburn is the entire reason for the existence of the Rolling Airframe Missile CIWS system that is replacing the Phalanx CISW on all US ships. Much longer engagement range, can kill at a longer distance, and is designed with handling volleys of incoming missiles in groups instead of just one at a…

Very good.

Looks like they loaded it up with pyrotechnics before they shot it. The angle the missile hit at would not cause a fireball to propagate down the length of the ship normally. Especially a sterilized derelict. (meaning no fuel or ammo) So this is Russia trying to scare the west mostly. Puffing out it's chest and…

It looked like a Michael Bay missile.

I thought the same thing. Stolen from Iran's chest pounding playbook it seems.

He won the lottery and found a non-running one sitting in a field for $5,000 that he was able to buy and flip for a profit, and if you ask me a relatively thin one considering the risk involved. Now he is marching it around like that's the average RX-7 transaction price, and he also flipped it, but he keeps saying he…

From the mouth of the beast:

Let me start by saying I love this car, and would love to own one. Now, here we go:

I worked for Wells Fargo's 'high net worth' division briefly. Despite my own authority, everything had to be done through call centers. No high net worth person on earth will put up with that shit. Even as an employee, any 'exception/answer/etc' had to go through call centers. It's unreal how excruciatingly…

What if I told you that the ratings agencies were lag indicators, and were largely clueless as to the underlying risk they were supposedly 'rating'.
