LOL. My wife literally just texted me from a gas station ... she's driving my car and couldn't find the gas door release! (Hint: on that car there isn't one, push on the gas door and it pops out).

They killed Automobile and kept Motor Trend? Of the four mainstream US auto rags, Motor Trend is by far the worst IMO.

Oh, the drain plug is easy to get to. But you have to remove the transmission to access the oil filter.

Because at the top of every scout's wish list is "the ability to drive sideways."

Except CRAB costs more and has less protection and firepower. Nice shiny technology, though.

Good air combat memoirs? Try:

Confidence building. It's the same reason for having them put on a gas mask, walk into a tent full of gas, and then take off the mask while still in the tent. If gives you confidence that your equipment works, and that the first time you use it it isn't in combat.

So ... which aircraft is Squirrel?

If Orlove id'd cars the way he id's armor, he'd call every basic pickup a sports car: two doors, two seats, and four wheels.

But every journalist has to have the opportunity to prove he's a dumbass by calling something a tank because it has tracks and a gun.

Oh, yeah — any anyone who thinks the A-10 isn't multi-role and isn't survivable needs to pick up and read Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War by William Smallwood. It shows how multi-role and survivable the aircraft is.

Amen. I understand the USAF position, but don't agree with it. A better solution to balance the books is to retire the B-1; the B-52 can perform all of the same missions, better and cheaper, with the exception of low-level supersonic penetration — and how often do we need that? Let's not forget, too, that the US has…

Huh. Not insane enough. Add JATO.

S2000 owner here. Sounds pretty good; here's my ideal recipe for a replacement:

Really? An entire world of automotive options open to them, and they go CrossCoupeTour? Did marketing decide there weren't enough dog-taking-a-shit body styles in the lineup?

Scratch a genius and you'll find an idiot hiding just under the surface.

Where's the brown manual transmission diesel wagon?

Texas: "Come on down! We're auto manufacturer friendly down here, as long as you're not a US company named Tesla!"

Yeah, digging around looks like Georgia is the only confirmed combat use ... to date.

How many have successful combat employment?
