My “crazy itch for land-barges” would be satisfied with a 4 door Mark VI. Looks like a Town Car from a side, has the side “gills” of the Mark.

I guess I always (incorrectly) thought of Vladivostok as part of Siberia; it’s not. I was a little stunned by how little snow was on the ground for the third week of November.  I guess that means that I’m going to have to change my vacation plans.

The odds are overwhelming that you’re right and there’s not anyone left from when the DC-10 was designed, but culture carries on and gets passed on, unless there are specific attempts to prevent it from doing so. For those attempts to be successful, the hordes of MBAs have to generally admit that they’ve made a…

This.

They don’t have to. All that needs to survive are remnants of the culture. The same culture which decided that three hydraulic systems was good enough for the DC-10 (and MD-11 that you mention), rather than the 4 that are on the 747 and L-1011. That same cultrue also seems to think that in order to save money, it’s…

Actually, the “you didn’t care” part is an assumption on your part; some people do care. After the crash at Flight 191 at O’Hare, I never flew on a DC-10 again. Yes, the direct cause of the crash was improper maintenance, and if you look at the Wikipedia on it, it will happily tell you that airlines were removing the…

So wait, is the norm now at one episode per year then? Bollocks. And after all this time, why not just release the damned thing rather than a trailer for something that comes out in a month? WTF are you waiting for, Amazon? Honestly, I watched the Cartrek episodes featuring some relatively popular Youtube channel guys…

While I agree with you that there’s a fanbase keeping these high, what I’m completely perplexed by is that Corvettes from the same era (arguably better vehicles, mechanically) don’t hold their value nearly as well.

I will say that this particular car has a pretty generous amount of Zaino on it. Also, was there ever such a thing as a 305 LS1?

I had a brief flight on one maybe 15 years ago and I was amazed at how much personal space coach seating had.

It’s still not as gorgeous as the 66 Riviera though.

Uncanny recollection definitely deserves a star.

Hmm. Okay I can get on board with “cutting taxes.”  But I consider myself a patriot, and if you’re cutting taxes on one hand only to turn around and use public funds to bail those companies out two years later, then it still ends up being a handout.

Okay, so which of Trump’s demonstrated behavior is conservative, except for his obvious bias against anyone non-white?

Speaking specifically to the Republican party, he’s generally no “hand outs,” anti-abortion, US-centric, etc.

Can you elaborate what you mean by “conservative-minded?”  How exactly is Trump conservative, as it aligns with the traditional Republican party?

With stickers, yes it does.

..it would be especially attractive in its eventual ZR1 form, which sounds like it will have a high-revving flat-plane crank version of the engine (bonus if that happens to be a variation of the Blackwing V8).

30 years ago, I used to ponder elections in other parts of the world that I probably overly-stereotyped and I was thankful that I lived in a country that didn’t have civil wars erupt when one party won in an election. I thought, “Isn’t it great to live in a mostly law-biding country where people aren’t going to freak…
