I'm on Andy's side here. We have Product Designers in my office, and software is all we do. When you are the designer of a product or service, whether it be a picture frame or a video game, you are a product designer. I can where someone might see software as not being a physical object, but that does't make any…

I think it's less likely war will be avoided at this point. Putin is an egomaniac. He's been pounding his chest and talking smack for years now, figuratively when not literally. Georgia, Ukraine, the Arctic, the Navy in the Gulf of Mexico, bomber incursions into NATO airspace. It's either tuck tail and admit he's…

Our thugs work for the IRS. At least in Russia when they mug you, you have at least touched your own money. Here they rob you before you can even cash your paycheck.

I like how you tried to make your point by demonstrating bigotry and ignorance. So ironic.

There was the movie "War" with Jet Li and Jason Statham. Jet Li's character drove a Spyker C8.

I feel for the guy. I used to sell cars, so I can understand how this happens. The guy probably got a good deal worked out and tried to get through the process as quickly as possible so he could get back to work. Next thing you know some Mexican guys come in and plop down cash for an American truck to take south. …

It's a lot of guys. 11PM one night the Sheriff showed up at my door, where my son and I had lived for 2 months after divorce, and served me with an EPO that my ex filed. She was pissed that I wouldn't switch her weekends for my son because she wanted to take him to her Mom's. So her solution was to say I blew up on…

I was ADA for 8 years, and there are quite a few pieces that are considered Secret in service, but also have public material. In most cases that I bothered to dig into back then, there was the public specs, and then there is the real, and very classified specs. The range for the Stinger is an example. There is the…

Too bad I can only give 1 star

You see only the best possible interpretation of Obama policy. The media here is so infatuated with Obummer they don't dare let out anything that isn't in the best light they can put on it. So yeah, I guess when all you hear is cheerleading without having to suffer the results of it, it's pretty easy to be fooled…

Not really. Can't just go down to the local military surplus and pick up a couple hundred half century old nuclear tipped ICBMs.

I like the way you express your feelings about this subject, but I think you're wrong about a few points. First off, European cars in the 70s and early 80s weren't so great either. I spent almost 3 years on your side of the world, and I drove a lot of different cars, and most were garbage. I had a 78 Merc 280E, and…

I'd like an animated show, like a mix between Initial D and Speedracer, but set in middle America somewhere. Please God get the guy who does the cars on Archer. His work it total car porn.

Not only was the GM sponsorship overdone, they tried to hard too get the reality show drama going. I'm with you, properly executed, some really interesting stuff could have happened there.

Like Speedvision pretended it was going to be? There was some good programming there before NASCAR took over, separated by auctions and endless reruns of Trucks. I want my lawnmower racing dammit!

This is a great idea for real reasons that you overlooked.

Stay with me on this. The web is full of reviews and long-term trials of upper end autos and classics. Please, go the other way and show us what us normal folks can do on a budget. I nominate the Ford Fiesta ST, or something similar. You will have usable space, modern conveniences, cheap to run, FWD is better than…

Dang! You beat me to it.

5th Gear: Honda Will Help Out Takata

Are you lost? I think you're looking for Jezebel. I hyperlinked it for you. They say stupid shit like that over there all day, so you should feel right at home.
