Four words: high compression lean burn.

From a physics standpoint it's bullshit. Utter nonsense which breaks a couple Principles of Thermodynamics.

Automatic spark ignition. My Stutz Bearcat goes just fine without any automatic thingamajigs!

And French cars too. Some even had yellow headlights. I own a Renault with yellow fog lights and they work. I may sound subjective now, but I find yellow lights less garing when the fog is thick. Then again, the difference with properly adjusted white lights is minimal, more of a matter of taste and light sensitivity.

Well, they are actually very useful, when adjusted as low as possible and the fog is thick.

Proof that females are not unable to grasp technology... it's just that the majority isn't just interested in it.

I guess that after that, finding that the radio is located next to the handbrake isn't surprising at all...

Fortunately for their potential enemies, the avionics and maintenance of Sukhois and MiGs are still lagging behind the West's.

If UAVs go haywire or are taken down, no skilled pilot dies.

A MiG-29 properly mantained and cared for is a match for the F-16, F-18 and most marks of F-15 (bar the Silent Eagle).

For air-to-air combat, an F-15 or F-16 is more than enough of a match for the 90% of potential enemies. And that's supposing a conventional war over American skies, which is unlikely to say the least. For most real-world possible wars the Hornets are more than enough.

The Renault 5 longitudinally-placed engine. Less packaging efficiency, but better weight distribution and lots of room up front to place, for example, a turbo.

Actually if this is the first car you drive, it's quite intuitive. Well, it's not as bad as if you're used to German-standard ergonomics.

Da, ya nimnozhka govoriu po russkiy. Pochimu vy sprashili?

"Make it simple, solid and poverful, and just try not to be too drrunk vhen pilotink it"

As in Soviet and pre-Soviet Russia...

WRONG!

In Europe, regular gasoline is at least 95 octane. IIRC even premium in the US is just 92 octane. And BMW Motorsport offerings only give the announced output with Euro premium (98 octane). Lower octane=lower compression ratio=less hp.

Which shows that ze Chehmans have their priorities in order. And that the Greens are in fact Watermelons. That blackmailing technique is as dirty as the oil industry's.
