CP. But I’m going to vote that way for any old European car. Now if you have a pile of cash and just love these things go ahead, but I’m not going to bite. And don’t bring it to my shop.

This will never leave committee. However maybe it will start a serious discussion on this topic, which is long overdue.

Interesting that Federal Mogul wants in in this, since they’re controlled by Carl Ichann and he owns Pep Boys.

TIL some old beetles came with airbags.

Some of this makes pretty good sense. We need a smaller surface combatant to augment the LCS. We need more F/A-18s because lord knows we don’t know yet if the F-35 is going to be successful and the Navy is already cannibalizing planes for parts. A high/low carrier force mix would allow us to project power more places.…

Deal with the intake gasket and heater bypass elbow issues and you got yerself a 300k engine.

Got my nomex on for this, but I doubt your average unemployed rust belt guy gives a crap about LGBT issues. He’d be perfectly happy with Pence.

Mitch would have been a strong candidate. Wonder if Evan Bayh is thinking about it?

1st gear: We’ve accidentally elected a democratic socialist. A conservative would never meddle with individual companies like this. Trump himself may not even realize it, but that’s what it is. Government direction of industry? How else to define it?

As a fellow resident of Indiana I think Pence would be 100% better.

Friend of mine in high school did this accidentally at freeway speed in his moms 78 Grand Prix. Nothing happened then either.

Oh for Pete’s sake. *puts old man hat on* This is stupid. Back when I was a kid (the 70s, I’m not all that old) there were no teams, no aerodynamics, the cars were faster, they actually looked like real cars, and the damn sport was easy. Biggest foot+biggest balls=win. NASCAR has spent 25 years screwing up a great…

This is the first time I’ve ever used the phrases “veloster” and “nice back end” in the same sentence.

Aren’t these essentially our missiles anyway under some sort of lease agreement? I seem to recall that they are periodically swapped out for missiles from the USN inventory, refurbished and put into US service.

I don’t live in an Amtrak corridor and don’t know that much about it, but isn’t most of Amtrak in places that didn’t vote for Trump and won’t next time either? So politically what’s killing it cost him?

Somebody is going to be the dominant world power. You’d rather have someone else? Who? Western Europe is out of that business. Who’s that leave?

I see your point and it’s well taken. Ultimately I believe that defense of western democracies is a defense of the US, and whatever we spend on NATO is a bargain compared to potential alternatives, but we have in place now an administration that may not believe that. I think Europe would be very foolish not to…

I’d go so far as to say we’re in a conflict with Russia already, although not yet open warfare thank heavens, and we’re not faring well. The recent disclosures surrounding the election, although not everyone accepts them as true, have demonstrated that Putin has influence on even our most cherished institutions. Not…

Welcome and best of luck. Looking forward to seeing your perspective on these matters as we move into very uncertain times.
