They could have paid for a full crew for an Iowa-class Battleship for over a hundred years, for less than this new 'destroyer' cost.

I enjoy freedom too much to ever get married. Being single means never having to ask permission before doing something or buying something you want. I have a wonderful girlfriend whom I love, but I've told her in no uncertain terms, marriage will never ever happen. It's a superfluous ceremony; if you love and want to…

The overwhelming majority of bicycles will never be exposed to the sheer mileage of most cars. A car with 100,000 miles is no big deal. A bicycle with 100,000 miles is very rare indeed. Either car or bike will last pretty much forever with proper maintenance.

On the other hand, this transmission could open up a lot of options for aftermarket improvement, either with extra power, or lower final drive ratio gearing, which would effectively turn the first couple of gears into crawlers, and the highest seven into "normal" gears.

A new V6 Cadillac has a top speed of 172mph. I remember when 170 was rarified territory.

This was a truly terrible car, even by American standards, in 1989. Consider that the Ford Taurus SHO also debuted in 1989, and was better in pretty much every way to the STS, and cheaper to boot (about 40% cheaper!).

Bravo to GM on a job well done! I especially like that they didn't just give you auto rev matching, but give you a button that lets you toggle the feature on or off, depending on driver skill and comfort or situation. The fact that they invested time and money on developing that feature for an honest-to-god manual…

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Absolutely gorgeous car, Ford really needs to take note.

Great book, I actually just read it again for the first time in 20 years, a few months ago.

I think that's a 1/8th mile strip. Otherwise with a sub-4 second time, the jet car would have trapped closer to 350mph.

Manhattan 28-port "Mondo-Hub."

Hand-cranked repeaters are not legally machine guns under federal U.S. law. I would not at all be surprised if it's fully functioning. It does not require an NFA tax stamp.

If I wanted to read profanity-laden, super-condescending critiques of popular media, I'd have gone to Jezebel. You can do better, Torch!

Boss 302 track key. Not only does it firm up the car and make it more aggressive for the track, it also makes the car louder. Because race car.

It looks like a Chevy Taurus.

IF the report is accurate, Pullum was completely justified in shooting Taylor in defense of himself and his family. Taylor could very well have shot and killed the wife and mother as well, though that's purely speculation. What's certain is that Taylor will never hurt anyone else again.

Can has wallpaper resolution (1920x1080 or 1920x1200)? Please???
