It's not about feeling, it's about doing. Driving a minivan is not manly. I can do everything a minivan can in my station wagon (and more) and I can do it in style. I can drift, do burnouts, haul trailers, etc. and look good doing it.

Nicely done, Mr. Wheatieboy, nicely done. The chorus is just grand.

Actually, I have to say that men prevent minivans. If you own a minivan then you've obviously turned in your man card. It's time for everyone to man up and stop buying those ridiculous appliances and drive cars that men drive. Wagons are appropriately manly vehicles for family transportation.

I simply cannot believe that they pay those marketing pukes as much as they do and they keep pulling this crap. Is it the same group of people that decided to make the Oldsmobile logo unrecognizable, and to rename cars every 3 model years (Taurus, 500, Taurus), or any number of other idiotic "brand management" moves?…

J-lo, who else?

THIS would be death from above.

I really hope Ford figures this succession thing out. They have come so far but still have a ways to go. Mulally hasn't been there long enough to effectively change the culture so they will need another guy with similar sensibilities (that would be someone that is product driven) rather than your typical banker…

You are assuming an AWACS radar can even see an F-22. It can't so adding that to the mix doesn't help any. Additionally, an F-22 can operate at altitudes 10 to 15K feet higher than an F-15 so they can only engage with radar guided missiles that can't lock on because of its stealth. So how, exactly, would a group of…

Nice, very nice.

And this is how a turbo is used.

Yep, and she can DRIVE, too.

If it's just an old shell that wasn't good for anything in the first place and they just wanted to see the failure points then it's plausible. You can learn plenty from such an "unchoreographed" test. In my opinion those tests will give you very nice real-world data that a careful and precise test rig won't. You seem…

The large, squared spoiler on the 1970 Z28 is iconic.

Good article, Wes. There is something about old, abandoned buildings that is irresistible.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information to construe this as disgruntled employees destroying company property. It sounds more like they are actually performing some destruction testing. I hear no anger or malice but I do hear the kind of talk engineers use when learning things about their designs. Why the…

Whoa there, cowboy. That's taking it a bit far.

Hey, with everyone else participating I figured I should fess up. You know, to be a part of the community.

I suppose some would argue that there are more BMWs and Hummers but there are plenty of yotas. We're going to need a lot of cannon balls.

This is the best news of the week. I am really looking forward to this race.
