"As common as Honda Civic." I dunno, man, I didn't see any Civics in your footage. The Honda Civic must be the real Monaco exotic.

I think this video shows what you're really in to ... I caught that long, sensual linger on the Smart car from :53 to :59.

Cool. As they say: LA is a great big freeway, put a hundred down and buy a car. In a week, maybe two, they'll make you a star ... and all the stars, that never were, are parking cars and pumping gas.

Hmm, Forza. But will it Orlove?

Greatest Fighter Ever Made? Pretty tall claim for a plane that's sat on the bench for the last three wars. That's like saying Michael Jordan was the greatest football player ever even though he never logged a minute of game time.

Shame we didn't get the F-23 instead.

Give the Subi a 1km lead ... the tank still wins.

Shame. I was there last year and I know they've had tough financial times (lawsuit from the ex-wife drained all of the finances) but its a shame to see these going on sale. As one of the finest armored vehicle collections in the world, it really needs to stay together and accessible to the public.

Exactly. This regulation doesn't mean there will never be commercial delivery drones; what it means is that commercial use drones can't use existing rules exceptions that allow for hobbyist model aviation. Commercial drones will need their own set of regulations.

Yeah, that's what I had — white upper, light blue lower, orange interior.

I had a Matchbox Pantera as a kid, and I worshipped that car.

You're not. Good user interface design should still require physical, tactile interfaces for some controls.

"Initial quality" refers to production quality; the word doesn't mean the same thing in this context that you think it means (see detailed discussion in a response to another comment above). It is misleading as you point out, because most people hear "quality" and think well-designed and reliable, neither of which is…

You're confusing quality with reliability. Quality in this sense is "production quality", which doesn't address what most people think when they hear the term "quality". Production quality deals with build defects — problems found in a production item after it has been accepted that were not supposed to be there…

I detected granny shifting and not double-clutching like you should, but you avoided the danger to manifold.

"Damn I will miss these aircraft when they're gone."

Recreational jumpers wonder why paratroopers are scared on their jumps. When you've had your 'chute packed in a speed shop, are wearing a hundred pounds of extra gear, spent thirty minutes flying nap of the earth before the doors open, then step out into the darkness a thousand feet over ground you've never seen and…

Hollywood jump; that's just fun. It's much more painful with full combat equipment.

Fantastic article; well thought-out. Thanks.

Nah, in that position it should say EJECT.
