Where did you get that the Beonco isn't recommended for off-road use? Looking at the specs, it's basically a Bronco body with the penultimate off-road-ready chassis, suspension, transfer case, etc. It's probably amazing off-road. Not necessarily for rock crawling, given the wheel arches, but it should kill off-road.

So if you pay $7,347 (I know it goes up every year, or so, but work with me) every year for 35 years, you’ve paid in $257,145, total. You retire at 65, start drawing $3,500/month (this also goes up every so often), you have actually withdrawn more than you contributed after just 73.47 months (6 years, 1.5 months).…

So they calculated the minimum hourly wage required for a single person to rent a two-bedroom apartment. That’s kind of like calculating the minimum wage a person needs to afford a car, by using the price of a Audi/BMW/Mercedes. Yep, wages should be raised.

Marines are a quick reaction strike force organized from the ground up to be able to quickly move in, take an objective, and hold it just long enough for the Army to arrive. The Army is working towards some quick reaction capability but, ultimately, too much of its logistics is spread among too many different units.…

As I understand it, the other GT manufacturers would have none of it.

Part of the problem is crash testing. Manual transmissions require a different sized and shaped cut through the floor plan and, therefore, a completely separate crash test program.

The irrational distaste for pickups that so many people have is approximately the same as the irrational distaste for wagons those of us who like trucks get.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the F12 Berlinetta and 458 Speciale will be very collectible. Both represent the end of an era for Ferrari, and the pinnacle of achievement for said era.

Diesel engines are, even to the manufacturer, more expensive to either source from another manufacturer, or build themselves. Are you saying, for green’s sake, they should just eat that price difference?

Um, no. The maximum SS monthly benefit, assuming you retire at 70, in 2015, is just over $3,500.00. That is paid, assuming no other qualifying income, every month, with Cost of Living adjustments, from the date of retirement and qualification, until you die, whether you paid that total, or not.

This 17-year-old, obese, greasy-long-haired nerd is going to have such a wonderful time in prison. Though it is Canadian prison. Maybe there they just eat waffles with maple syrup and politely tend to the community garden.

And when the government allowed old GM to sidestep the law requiring bond holders to be paid first, so that they could pay unions, first, after said Unions had contributed millions to politicians in charge?

1911s are an old design. You can find and buy models dating all the way back to that era, or you can buy modern versions, made with modern components, often with various design tweaks, manufactured by dozens of different companies. The original was made by Colt, buy now most handgun manufacturers, other than Glock,…

We can argue about differing types of fat, and locations of said fat, but at the end of the day, if you have a big ol’ beer gut, you probably have a lot of at least precursor indicators for a lot of health issues. I’m not saying everyone needs a 6 pack- hell, I work out a lot and don’t have a 6 pack, but I have a…

Actually, considering “dadbod” is, according to this article, primarily an excess amount of fat in the midsection, eliminating it is for healthy purposes. Torso/Abdominal fat is one of the largest contributors to cardiovascular disease and a predictor of early death and/or cancers.

For me, personally, it’s one of the better looking crossovers. I’m a fan of crossovers because I have two children, a dog, and regularly take long-distance trips with at least 2 out of 3 of the aforementioned. I mean, yes, I’d love a 911, and it does have a quasi-backseat and a frunk, but I don’t think I can quite…

I’m not actually certain it is capable of 200 mph...maybe with the lowest downforce configuration, on a really long straight, with the fuel flow limiter cut off?

Its far more svelte than, for instance, the Cayenne, of which Porsche has sold boatloads. For what it is- a crossover, it’s quite attractive and quite the performer.

Everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion, even when they are wrong. You, sir or madame, are in the minority.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure the McLarens have actually spent much time at 200+ mph...
