Perhaps I should have been more clear. Force them to offer buybacks.

The point is, instead of lining the pockets of government, you make them make it right with the purchaser. If you buy a TV from Best Buy and it has something majorly wrong with it, you take it back to Best Buy and get your money or a replacement. It…

The penalty is they have to fix, replace, or buy back the offending vehicle.

This is what should have happened. That plane is now destroyed. Could have saved the plane and probably had zero injuries.

I know you are joking, but really?

The idea that the government can fleece a company for billions just kills me. The way I see it, these people levying fines are just trying to get as much money as possible. How do they even come up with the numbers? And even more, how can a company that is already struggling afford to pay the government billions then…

The emergency parachute should be used one time only. If you are unable to safely glide the plane. Like if a wing comes off, loss of control inputs, tail damage, extreme center of gravity issues.

Just because your engine stopped running? My flight training revolved 100% around what happens when the engine stops. I…

All you hear about these days is the Government fining Auto Makers for safety recalls. Billion from Toyota, Hundreds of millions from FCA, Hundreds of millions from VW, etc, etc. Sounds to me like they are making their own money.

My question is why the hell does the government get this money? Shouldn’t any fines go…

I like the idea of getting more carriers out there to cover the areas we are lacking. My concern is that if they do the 2 for 1 exchange, it won’t be long before the fleet is 11 of the small carriers if that!

It is a slippery slope to revamp the requirements of the navy. I agree that the way the military, hell, the…

I came here to make a comment similar to this. If a 2 for 1 plan was enacted, it would not be long until they decided to say that 11 of the smaller carriers was enough.. or even more likely, too much.

Maybe it’s just me, but that thing looks way better than the Veyron.

There is no amount of money or women that would make me want to buy a Cavalier. Now, if someone gave me one for free, I might try to destroy it in a similar fashion.

It’s got one of those obnoxiously bright LED Bars in the brush guard.

There already is a Spectre Gunship - AC-130

In my opinion, you do your job better than most in the Gawkerverse.

My uncle had this very car! Very cool.

So funny, he tells us his name but not a price.

The hilarious part of this is that in Michigan it was the biggest thing in the world to be able to ride with NO helmet! All these dumbasses riding around with nothing on their head but a douchey do-rag.

On the open ocean it is pretty rare that the winds change very much. It is why the old trading ships were able to go so far.

I wonder if a ship that big would have a hybrid style hydraulic system. Perhaps run through a water impeller than turns a generator or even the pumps themselves.

Nice thing about a sailing ship on the ocean is once the heading is set, there are very few adjustments needed.

I have to say, I think that your articles are probably the best writing in all of the Gawker-verse.

What is your experience? You seem to be extremely well versed in pretty much every aspect of the military. Such a nice change from our previous source for military matters (Jesus Diaz) on Gizmodo and Jalopnik. It is…
