hmmm....let's start at the top:

agree completely. Kyle was a liar and no amount is SEAL dust sprinkled over him and Luttrell will conceal that fact.

Chuck Mawhinney. 16 Shots, 16 Confirmed Kills. All done with an M-14 and a first-generation Starlight Scope. Most confirmed Sniper Kills in USMC History.

You shut your mouth! Kyle would be "lucky" to be mentioned ed in the same breath as Carlos Hathcock, let alone Chuck Mawhinney. Reason why Mawhinney beats the snot out of Kyle? Mawhinney NEVER bragged about it and talked about himself. The only reason we even know of his exploits is because someone else dimed him…

They should let different engines types, not just make everybody stick to one architecture.

Advancing blade speed is one factor limiting forward speed. The Lynx managed to mitigate it using the BERP blades. (British Experimental Rotor Platform - I think).

A planetary gearset automatic actually has at least one clutch-pack per gearset... GM were able to engineer this new 8 speed to sequentially shift by actuating just one clutch, instead of the two that always have to be actuated by a dual clutch gearbox. Combine that with a completely locked torque converter, and you…

You definitely have that German engineering attitude down to the tee.

It's definitely a "shots fired" type comment, but I've reached the point with their collective attitude towards non-European vehicles that I feel comfortable making it without it sounding hyperbolic to my own ears.

(As the Detroit News pointed out today, none of these expansion plans apparently include Europe, a market that continues to elude Cadillac as well.)

But...But...German cars are perfect in every way! This surely must be a hoax! Only imperfect lesser cars made by the awful and inferior Americans, Italians, French, Japanese and other non-German people catch fire!

What do you mean, nope? Wikipedia says the Espace entered production in 1984. The Dodge Caravan entered production early November, 1983. Therefore, the Caravan is the first true minivan.

Respectfully, I disagree with you on this one Torch. After watching the video, I felt like the guy filming the video actually remained relatively calm, especially since he had someone screaming in his face, which was completely unnecessary.

I know you make a joke about him repeatedly saying "Am I being detained", in…

What's the difference between this and "papers please"? I think that's what the motorist is upset about, there's no reason for the cops to conduct what is basically a "search" of your person for no reason.

I completely agree because I posted something similar. Pretty much any warplane in the U.S' arsenal could have carried out the same mission.

Are not you aware of some 6 3/4 liter engine that Bentley uses? that "lump" has pushrods... just saying, good enough for Bentley.

ok bro
