I wouldn't be surprised. I don't know that they have anything that would meet the performance expectations for the light truck market. I suppose they could develop a V6 version of the Scorpion if their plant is modular enough to support that. I doubt they would go to a supplier for a lighter duty diesel after all the…

Specifically, they're about to spend $450 million to get car companies to relocate or expand in the country. Bloomberg reports this is especially targeted at Chrysler for projects such as the new round of minivans.
Like all of the Caswell stickers that are all over the country? There was like a stack of 1000 of those fuckers in my car for the longest time, I wonder where they went?
Interesting. I did not know that.
You lost me on how the propellant can't go faster than the speed of sound.
Yeah, my thoughts too. Then I realized it was a chemical propellant so yeah... Probay not going to work since the previous attempts were all unsuccessful.
He'd be better off going Punkin Chunkin, he's not asking for enough money. Supposedly HARP spent over $10M in the 60s and they only got to space and weren't even able to achieve even half of orbital velocity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_H…
They might still be. Or the Navy, they are the ones doing a bunch of the rail gun research. As crazy as it sounds, the rail gun is probably a better option.
I was going to suggest this also. They eventually got HARP to work by equipping the satellite (projectile?) with a rocket.
Colt Single Action Army pistol is the gun that most people think of as the "Wild West" gun. This pistol was introduced in 1872 along with it's cartidge the .45 Long Colt. It's interesting to think that less than 40 years after introduction one of the most famous military firearms was obsoleted by a weapon that is…
They're not the only ones. I got a pretty aggressive crotch pat down from security at an art show in Detroit last weekend.
Rule of thumb for drag racing is that 100 lbs is worth 0.1 seconds. That's probably enough to make a pass/fail difference.
While it may not stop the willfully incompetent, it would definitely cut down on the painfully ignorant. Take for example, the number of people that think their car is magic and don't realize there is a vast system of complex physics at work.
What part is foolish? I'm up for debating the merits of unmanned vehicles vs. other tech. As far as a nation's duty to protect it's citizens by keeping up with current battle tech, it would be unacceptable to fall by the wayside. Although you may be getting at the "how" they develop said tech.
The only thing worse than arbitrary dates for requiring snow tires on cars is not requiring snow tires at all, as Thoushalthoonthyrallyetyres explains.
They irritate me. Unmanned combat vehicles should be a priority. Wasteful spending notwithstanding, anyone who suggests a nation shouldn't be investing money in protecting itself is naive at best.
