So how much are you up to in deductibles?

You seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that F1 is for the fans.

Where’s the BD-5? In both prop and jet versions it’s smaller than a number of the aircraft on your list, unless you’re using some strange definition of “small”.

Just to make you crazy, you can fill your own gas cans, and I’ve had attendants refuse to fill mine. You just can’t put gas in your car.

Yep, shooting nukes out your butt is definitely a crazy way to launch a spacecraft.

“High Speed” and “AAV” are seldom terms that collide in the same sentence.

Miata Coupe?

Much, much want

That’d be fine with me. Having gone through that a couple of times, when a dealer installed an add-on I didn’t want and wasn’t going to pay for, I simply said: “You can take it off, or or leave it and not charge me, but I’m not paying for it if I buy the car.” In the case of pinstripes they rolled and left them; once…

Dear VW:

How do you know your salesman is lying to you?

C-5B era joke:

Of course it didn’t intimidate them. The sights are stowed and the TOW launcher is down. The cicadas know that Bradley isn’t ready to engage anything.

No, the lesson isn’t that you need an alternate engine program (which is a massive duplication of cost that doesn’t bear sufficient cost or risk reduction over the life of the program) — it’s that you don’t put a new developmental system this massively complex into low rate production until you’ve tested it…

Yep. Dolphin in the photo isn’t a sub dolphin as its the mammal not the fish:

I’m with you. I don’t know for certain, but I suspect it’s a legacy of the draft-era military. When you dragged people into the service and kept them against their will, I suspect more work was required to not be a screw-up. Plus there was a time when NJP wasn’t an out-of-the-ordinary thing. Traditions, you know.

The Army has a Good Conduct Medal awarded every three years for the same reasons. No colored hash marks, though — I was wondering why the differences in the stripes!

Enough to get me 10 lb/hp or better.
