Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon didn’t seem to have an issue with loaning Taiwan two U-2 spy planes to “conduct high altitude weather surveys” over China.

Let’s not forget that Taiwan operated the U-2 flying over China for 14 years when the US promised China no more over flights. This includes 5 of them being shot down.

We used to have a product that we had made from a subcontractor, we bought it for $1300. They stopped making it, so we took over. I got the cost down to about $500 to produce. The product is used by one of the companies. We sold it to them for over $6000. They then sell it to the end users for over $27,000. While…

“Planes aren’t much more expensive than cars anymore.” That’s hilarious. I work in aviation mainly helicopters. A rotor brake master cylinder on the MD500 which is a go-kart brake master cylinder that you can buy for $125, we sell for over $1000 because you need the paperwork that says it is legal to put on your…

Planes have a lot more maintenance than a car. There’s hourly maintenance and calendar maintenance. Hourly is based on how much you fly. Calendar maintenance occurs whether it sits on the ground or goes flying all the time. Don’t do the maintenance, the IA won’t sign off on the plane.

It’s probably the 25 years of finishing behind Hamilton has taken its toll on him. Finally he finishes ahead of him, steps out so he can’t get beaten again.

Just because you bought a $36,000 car doesn’t mean the repairs are going to cost the same as for a new $36,000 car. No, when it goes in for service, you are paying to fix a $126,000 car. The brand new parts are priced for a $126,000 car. So $4K for a windshield is nothing. I bet the carbon fiber bumper covers go for…

Sort of like what this guy did many years ago.http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?3880087-So-my-Audi-got-booted-and-this-is-what-I-m-going-to-do-about-it-discuss

I bet she didn’t quite understand left foot braking.

I was at an indoor track with some coworkers. There was a group event that went after us. We heard a lot of banging and some reprimanding. When we got back on the track, we swore the track was different because of all the walls they moved.

This is how you start.

The guy on the other side of the garage didn’t have a racing champion as a dad. He ended up pretty well off.

Uh huh, sure. Now you are saying you are better than everyone, but they hurt your feelings so you had to go back to your safe space.

There are two guys that act like children, Hamilton and Vettel. The two of them hold more WDC than the rest of the field, combined. I guess that’s what you need to do to win multiple championships.

Vettel demands a recount.

It’s obvious you have never participated in any competitive sport.

They did earn the name of Clinton News Network.

When it goes to production, it will look nothing like that. It will just be an enlarged Forester.

How much weight did that add compared to conventional hinge and latch?
