The Allseas’ Pioneering Spirit is pretty impressive. Twin hull, can decommission an entire offshore platform (topsides, jacket, etc.) in a single campaign. Pretty sure this wins.

From the company that was known for building K-cars.

From my perspective, Chrysler already has one. The current Grand Cherokee is fantastic, I wouldn’t trade my 2014 for a Range Rover if I was paid to do so. If Sergio wants to go even higher with the Jeep brand I’m all for it.

Emissions mainly.

1991 Stealth R/T Turbo or Mitsu 3000GT VR-4. Sooooo much tech, 1991 . . . compare it to others on the market at the time.

This was presented on an EARNINGS call . . . returning money to shareholders kinda of strikes a chord with the folks on that call.

Do turbines count? (I assume they do given the helicopter reference above) If so, I’d say this wins.

Couple of fighter jet engines mounted to a tank used for extinguishing fires from blownout land wells. Saw a lot of use in Kuwait as Saddam burned the oil fields on his way back to Baghdad.

Correct you are.

Jet engines have a number of uses. Clearing FOD and extinguishing blowouts.

This is an example of poor project and interface management, plain and simple. The entire F35 project has been managed piecemeal instead of as an integrated program. This is just a microcosm of our government at large.

If this somehow lessens the number of RX encounters I may have as they clog up the left lane of every freeway . . . then BRAVO. What an awful excuse for a vehicle, the RX is.

Frankfurt gets a far worse rap than it really should, it isn’t a bad airport and the Lufthansa lounges are nice.

The idiocy of a litigious society . . . the lawyers and law writing politicians (lawyers) will be the undoing of our country.

Plus, F1 revenue in general is down as the sport loses fans over new technologies that make it more efficient but less exciting, as well as the trend of one team to dominate all in recent years. Ferrari's F1 team is likely a merchandising monster for the company, but will that be enough?

Once the car is delivered to the port (at least a week before its journey, but probably more like two weeks), it will likely be shipped "ro-ro" — a surprisingly cutesy shipping industry term for "roll on, roll off." In other words: there's no container, there's no big box, and there are no packing peanuts. The

Wasn't built because Daimler gave it the axe. Also, the concept car was very slick but the dimensions/proportions were probably above the limits of what a production car could sustain.

Go take a BOSIET course in Aberdeen and you can . . . they're a wild ride.

Awesome ships. I had the pleasure of watching the Dockwise Blue Marlin pickup the Polar Pioneer in Norway last year for transport to Singapore. Pretty jaw dropping when a huge semi-sub rig looks small setting up on a transport vessel like that.
