$200 plus a console you probably already own?

Aye. Standard Mustangs come with an actual spare, you just chose to not have one.

I think that’s because it’s a performance package car, isn’t it? Spare tire delete is part of that.

I wonder how much it would cost me to get a set by themselves.

Don’t need to judge, but you can make fun of him regularly. That would be acceptable.

So, why the fuck did they buy a Kia?

I think he was driving a Tahoe, too, based on the bigness of the hood and the wipers. He was likely the one that needed to do the pitting.

Asian.

Please, my penis can only get so erect.

That is likely the reasoning behind why it’s not a thing, but, as many people have mentioned, the AIM-120 has come close to the AIM-54’s range in its later variants, but think how potent an upgraded Phoenix would be, with the kinds of optimizations that the AMRAAM received. Having a super long range missile in the…

Drag increases with the square of speed. Different ratios will have a fairly small impact on mileage, because you will still need the same amount of power to maintain that higher speed.

I’m aware of what the AIM-54 is and what is used on this jet. I also didn’t necessarily mean that the AIM-54C should be used, but regardless, the missile is very capable in regards to range.

Iran claims multiple kills with them, but I’d take that with a grain of salt. They were brought into service after Vietnam, and the only conflict between then and their retirement was Desert Storm, in which the F-14 did not have appropriate IFF to do BVR engagements.

I don’t think weight is too big of a concern with this jet, and hardware can always be modified. It’s really a matter of want than the actual capabilities of the hardware and software of legacy models.

And yet, it still can’t mount the AIM-54. I feel like fitting a weapon like that to the F-15 would make it a truly amazing interceptor. I’m sure they could have come up with a way to mount four on those wing stations, under the AIM-9s.

This car is already in the US. There’s a Birmingham, Michigan, which is where the car in the article is located, not in Birmingham, UK.

I’ve done that in a 152, but it was a particularly windy day. Still fun.

I wasn’t referring to the vehicle, but rather the comment on the title of the article.

If it were a diesel, then this would fly. But, it’s got a standard SBC.

I feel like I’m facing the wrong way, too. At least they put mirrors around so you can kinda see? Still feels like an odd design choice.
