Agree. It might sound like a tragedy to retire it so early in its life, but it’s done it’s job. I think retiring it early, having completed it’s mission, is a real victory.

Knowing how they have stolen tech like Aegis, the hummer, stealth, UAV, it’s not really surprising they have AWACS too. Their whole military is like a Made in China version of the US military. Crap, I guess that’s exactly what it is.

Agree. Bomb trucks and missile platforms is what they need to be. Real pilots need to be looking at the battle space and making decisions.

“If you ain’t cheating, you ain’t trying” is how it was put to me.

I have to disagree. Some of the more complex tasks for a fighter pilot have already been demonstrated by UAVs. They can launch and land on a carrier flight deck, identify targets, mid-air refuel, they can handle physical stress beyond that of flesh pilots. It’s been a long time since WW1 style dog fights swarms. And…

It’s only a truck driver’s opinion that more accidents are caused by passenger cars. I can’t speak to the driving public as a whole any better than you can, but I can speak to my own experiences. I am cut off, squeezed over, tail gated and generally disregarded by semi trucks way more often than anyone in a passenger…

BS. They haven’t dominated anything in a long time except number of spontaneous combustions.

Ferrari could never compete in this sport, they are too narrow minded and ill-equipped for real competition. If there isn’t satin smooth pavement and a ruling body that can be bribed they run away.

Shows how little you know. This is a very established sport with decades of history. Just because your limited mind didn’t know about it doesn’t mean it has low standards.

Some people are just jealous.

Looks like Honda knocked off a Chinese knockoff of a Honda.

The only way to deal with the problem with Chinese not honoring intellectual property rights is to punish them financially for it. There should be crippling embargoes in the US, Europe and anywhere else on Chinese goods from companies that steal IP. When they find out they can’t pedal their cheap crap anywhere outside…

It’s not like they have a choice really. Ford F150’s are going to be sold there, by Ford or by some Chinese knockoff brand. Why not make a profit on your own product?

The culture in the southern United States? Are you stupid? Racist? Do you even have a clue what you’re talking about? What exactly about the southern United States do you find so repulsive? And what do you possibly know about poverty in that area?

Pal, you can have my job, there are plenty to go around. I’ve been at my employer, a major auto maker, for 12 years. I started as a production temporary on the assembly line. From there you can apply for internally posted jobs all through the company. I’ve been in production, maintenance, new vehicle projects,…

The adults in Japan are like large kids, so they can’t be to violent to upset their tender mannerisms.

Why on Earth would Tesla want that merger. Tesla is okay with not making money for a while, the company is built to withstand that. FCA is just desperate for someone to come and bail them out, Musk is smart enough to avoid that mess.

Only a Jalopnik writer could love something this ugly. Audi+wagon+twin turbo=best car EVER! Does it come in a brown manual?

Interesting angle, but I think the Prius has done exactly what it was supposed to do, make Hybrid acceptable and make shit loads of money. 55mpg is still a lot, and it’s normal car priced, and can be used like a normal car. Prius is synonymous with Hybrid and fuel efficient, and name recognition still matters. Plus…
