This is the best thing EVER!

No big deal at that altitude. I used to do that all the time on purpose. Take off, get to altitude (about 3-4k feet AGL), then turn off the engine, do some deadstick aerobatics, then restart the engine and repeat. If the engine didn’t restart after a couple tries, I’d just pick out a landing spot, land it, and…

I was based at Incirlik air base in Turkey back in ‘88-’89. That place was a backwards, and sometimes magical mix of Mad Max and Amish Country-although there kinda were rules of the road, they were ignored by everybody, which made for all sorts of entertainment and limitless chances for fiery death. Pretty much all…

Hey China, how about you absorb NK....then we’ll pull out all the US troops from SK. Win-win!

Now I wanna make an Audi commercial.

That is the worst example of drafting I’ve ever seen.

By “surface streets” I mean non-freeway/highway streets...the kind that have signal lights and stop signs at semi regular intervals, and speeds seldom exceed 50mph...

I think the first generation Volts are better than the second generation. Although the second generation Volt lists a higher range, it’s mainly due to reprogramming the existing battery system to operate nearer to operating limits rather than increasing actual capacity...I think this’ll cost owners in the long run…

It’s a comfortable car with tighter feel/handling/responsiveness over the Prius. Mine’s a late ‘14 model. The ‘15 model will give you slightly more range due to battery material improvements, and now’s the time to get ‘em because these two model years are now coming off their initial leases...there are bargains to be…

Solar panels on the roof + used Chevy Volt = IDGAF I drive for free.

My daily commute is less than 40 miles on surface streets. I’m getting better range per charge than the advertised 42 miles/charge, too...my actual range per charge is nearly 60 miles. I haven’t put gas in this thing since the first time I filled up…

This is masculine heresy.

This is masculine heresy.

They enter the highway and go directly across three lanes of traffic from the on-ramp to the passing lane...

...where they then cruise at or below the speed of everyone around them, preventing passing by everyone behind them. Left lane campers are the worst.

My guess is that those speeders aren’t kicking up dust, but instead are kicking up mist. I’m going to venture a guess that they are flying over a frozen surface, and are cutting through it/breaking up that frozen surface in an attempt to deny the walkers a stable surface to walk on.
Either that, or they’re scooping up…

$15k for a liftback replacement for a single piece of glass? Uh, no.

The MOAB is an air bursting bomb. Why use an air burst bomb to destroy underground tunnel and cave complex? The MOAB isn’t an underground penetration type ordinance bomb, right?
 

It’d make for a shitty airplane, anyway. The way the wheels are located make for a bad airplane landing gear—it’s impossible to adjust angle of attack to rotate for takeoff or flare for landing. It greatly reduces the places where this aircar could use as an airport.

What a silly way to lower a car.

Gawdammit, be smart with that money! Do you want an immediate payoff with a flash in the pan ride that you won’t cherish for many years, or do you want to retire in comfort?
My advice is to buy a very reliable used car, nothing fancy. We’re talking used Camry, Lexus LS400, etc in decent condition for a couple thou and…

You left out cruise ship, depart LA —> Panama Canal —> NYC
