"But let's stop using success and the realization of the American dream as an attack point. " - Ray Wert

I study economics for a living. There is tremendous economic value to the sort of work Romney did. What you call "dismantling companies" is in fact freeing up valuable resources to be used more productively. Another concept people don't like to hear is that periodic recessions improve overall long-term economic…

"Underdog beats supercar" track videos mean nothing. I'm pretty sure you could put me in a GT3 and a ring veteran could beat me on a unicycle.

I'm sorry to say that the F-12 is too cool to ever exist in the universe we live in. No internal committee, focus group, or consumer protection agency will ever let it live. They will attack the idea like filthy gulls devouring turtle hatchlings as they emerge from the sand and race toward the sea and freedom. This is…

all hail THE LANDCRUISER!

This is about as exciting as the DMV.

I grew up in a little Idaho town with a 5,000ft elevation. Over the years the little municipal field has seen a lot of out-of-town visitors stuff it on take-off after stopping for the night or for fuel. Usually on warm summer days. Invariably they were caught off guard by the reduced power and lift compared to…

I'm having a very different experience. First off, I'm no Apple fan-boy. This ipad 3 is my first and only Apple device. One end of my office building is separated from the wi-fi hotspot by a concrete firewall. It's always been tough to get mobile devices to connect reliably at this end of the building but my iPad has…

One pilot's opinion: 100% pilot error. It's called an accelerated stall. He simply had insufficient altitude (above ground) to perform the maneuver. Altitude (above sea level) was definitely a contributing factor but he should have factored for it. He needed more room or more lift. It probably would have looked…

So utterly fake. Fake for all the previously mentioned reasons and here's another. The amount of power required to articulate the wings while in flight would be HUGE. Remember, the loaded wing must support the weight of the man and structure and each downbeat must elevate that total weight. Consider the energy…

You are correct. So, when 100% of violent criminals have been disarmed and removed from society I will gladly surrender my firearms. Until such time I choose to maintain a balance of power. By the way, I lived for over 2 years in a country with martial-law and strict gun control. No law-abiding citizens had firearms,…

Exactly!

The Falcon was an old cargo ship. The road-going version could be nothing other than a VAN.

You're right. I dropped an ata. Oops.

You bring up good points. Actually our body is very sensitive to the partial pressures of the gases we breath and to the levels of those gases in our blood.

Ok, lets assume all this mouth to stem interfacing works without losing a bunch of air into the water. You've still got other big problems...

Agreed. In the past 5 years I have seen 2 on the road if I don't count my own.

No... If you're looking for him you'll find him in the waiting lobby of a tire shop.

They've spent how much money on Cadillac brand altering? And has it really worked? The CTSV is a great car but the public still views Cadillac as an old person's car.

85% of all Buick buyers are over 55. True figure. I didn't make it up. The other 15% are very confused in my estimate. The original GNX was great, but makes no sense today. The brand is gone. Not many performance-oriented drivers are going to pay for an auto which is basically regarded as Geritol on wheels. Sad but…
