Reminds me of my S2000 :')

My new CBR600RR does the same. It seems to be typical with sportbikes. You must be in the crowd that tells me I have a headlight out... Of course, the intent is good so I don’t let it bother me, but it makes me chuckle...

You’re one of the more sensible ones, then. I can’t tell you how many I know that want to completely cut off all support systems because a minority (or majority in their minds) abuse it. You’re either one that wants to cut it off from everyone because some abuse it, or one that wants everyone to have access because…

The “incentive” thing, in my opinion, is a poor argument. Barely being able to survive isn’t necessary for someone to want to live a better life, but it does make it considerably more difficult to live a better life. People will lack ambition no matter what financial situation they’re in, just like people will be…

I don't think I need to explain how there are exceptions to everything. I live in a city in Alabama with one of the best educated and paid population, however I wouldn't use it as an example of how great the state is.

Most of the trucks being used by US and NATO in the middle east are also Land Cruisers and Hiluxes. Kind of silly to be upset with Toyota for their trucks being used by terrorists. I'm sure the terrorists have no problem using them because "the enemy" is using it. They're good vehicles...

I have some LM buddies. The gov't wanted a super-awesome jet that can do everything betterer and cooler! Everyone that wants to get on the lucrative new jet contract coddled the gov't balls and told them anything is possible and the jets will shit rainbows at mach 20. If one company tells the gov't no, then the other…

People from that area tend to be tall and blonde. However, I work with various NATO soldiers that would surely fall under that weight restriction. I will agree that it's a relatively small issue — a majority of pilots won't have any issues — but it's an example of poor planning.

The state of NASA is unfortunate.

Yup. I was thinking photoshopping 8,400+ photos would possibly be more impressive than going to the moon.

Furthermore, I have to laugh at how many conservatives blame poor people (and Obama) for all that ails them, while at the same time shouting that they shouldn't have to pay taxes. So people that genuinely need food and shelter, which despite popular opinion is a large portion of them, are moochers, while people that…

I’m also from Alabama (Huntsville, represent). The budget sucks because of the backwater, uneducated, pandering elected officials. Don’t be a rube and blame the poor people like the rich idiots want you to, or at least try to verify your claims before claimin’ em.

Army seems to only use exploding rounds but I could be wrong.

It’s something that started in Iraq, if I remember correctly. Iraq had a bit more incoming so someone had the great idea of using this tech that was typically used on naval ships at a military base. It helped. So, some were put at the more heavily hit FOBs. Honestly it seemed like about 90% (pulled out my ass) at…

It's what you're used to seeing. Exactly. You sound like an old fogey talking about how things used to be. I'd rather adjust to the new design after a few years than see a jalopnik article in 2041 explaining why cars have grills that serve no purpose other than (likely) reducing the drag coefficient and (definitely)…

For me, and probably a lot of people, the risk is part of the appeal. I don’t want to die, obviously, but I enjoy the adrenaline rush of hitting 60mph in under 3 seconds. For everyone else, they're fully aware of the risk. I'm confident that everyone who rides a motorcycle has been told by at least a handful of people…

Yup. A majority of them I've seen in the middle east are on your typical flatbed trailer. Entirely self-contained aside for the network connection. Was thankful for them at FOB Shank and BAF, although to be honest I'm not sure how much good they did. It seemed like a majority of the mortars and rockets still went off.…

When you see the explosions generated by decades old Toyota sedans here in Afghanistan, you'd completely understand how deadly this SVBIED could be... Though I will say that MRAPs hold up pretty well. Aside from that, the shockwave from it will still be ridiculous and that in itself can cause deaths.

This also isn’t a processor... A Pentium II cannot handle the software in use, and I’d argue the same about some of the computers out here that are
still being used. The Predator still performs its job just fine. The new one may be able to carry more and go a higher altitude, but the mission doesn’t always require a…
