Umm, a couple of things here...

Actually, it would likely have 4 x 100,000 class turbofans, likely GE-90s. It may be slightly cheaper to run three larger engines, but servicing the #2 engine would be a nightmare many times worse than the l-1011 or md-10/11. It would have to be VERY high in the tail to allow rear cargo ops. Plus, you’re dealing with…

I’ll agree with you there, though the impala does quite well on the highway.

Well, I don’t consider them “particularly impressive” either. Just compared to the various four banger penalty boxes most places have for those of us that don’t have road warrior status, i’ll gladly take an impala limited any day.

The 4.0L has a bit more beef in the lower RPM range, that’s for sure. But, when I’m driving the van, I’m never seeing less than 20 mpg unless I’m accelerating from a light. My wife, who likes to sit and let the engine idle with the A/C on full blast for half an hour at a time in the summer while waiting for the kids…

conservative tranny programming. You can’t be gentle with it if you want the power...

When one year old mid-level Dodge Grand Caravans are available from most rental car sales sites for around $16K, Siennas, Odysseys and Sedonas will have to get a lot cheaper for me to not keep buying and flipping them every few years. Under 5 year old DGCs and T&Cs still have plenty of resale value left in them,…

From in the driver’s seat experience with our 2014 DGC and my Sister-in-law’s DGC with the final year of the 4.0L V6, I can assure you that the 3.6L is smoother, quieter, is just as strong across the entire power band, and gets better gas mileage. How much better? We both took a trip from New Orleans to Orlando, both…

I’m right there with you. We bought our Dodge GC SXT in January, 2014 model with 40K miles from Enterprise. Out the door was right at $15,000 before the trade-in from our 07 Sienna. We’ve loved it so far.

Get the impala limited... no stop laughing, its legit. It is the single most non-descript car in existence, and yet, under the hood lurks GM’s fine 3.6l dohc twin variable cams V6 engine connected to a decent 6AT. It most definitely can haul ass without drawing attention. And, its got plenty of room for luggage and a…

Well, he’s never been the same player since he suffered his “new long term contract” injury a few years ago. This just gives him a real excuse to play poorly.

And now, with the four team playoff that we all know will eventually turn into an eight team one, the expectations for even more teams will skyrocket. Where as before, when there was only a chance for the two best teams in the country to compete for the national title, sane fans realized that even getting there took a…

By now, the AD’s announcement has made the rounds and everyone knows the Les is coming back for at least one more year. For those that are in the know, the school administration likes Les and wants to keep him around. Everyone with multie brain cells knew this was going to be a rocky year as most of the starters on…

I’m absolutely saying that because Kalashnikov was Russian. I’m absolutely saying that because Russia supplied every two bit wanna be military, paramilitary, militant, and revolutionary in the known universe with as many AK’s as they could afford to buy. We don’t know exactly who gave that individual TOW unit to that…

I feel that this is ABSOLUTELY what Putin wanted. This cements support at home and allows him to get more of his military engine running as well as justified him sending more forces to the region.

Actually, since these fighters are irregulars, and answering to no soverign state, it makes it difficult to act on them for a war crime. They haven’t even signed that treaty. Oh, its absolutely morally wrong, but the technicalities are staggering.

Or, GOLNAS is just that inaccurate. Shoulda used a garmin...

And no one has addressed the fact that the single most common weapon used by ISIS is the AK-47 and its derivatives. Let’s all blame russia for that since they invented it and sold millions of them...

The TOW missile used in the helo was likely provided by the CIA. Of course, russia spent no time talking about the AK’s that were used to shoot their pilots...

But, that’s like half the season already...
