What I really want to know is... Why have none of these numbskulls running these companies put together contingency plans? 9-11 happened. The airlines got grounded. Some failed, others merged. Do they have plans to deal with anything similar happening? Obviously not.... At least nothing beyond asking the US government…

I just want to say, whatever idiot decided forced autoplay on EVERY DAMNED INTERNALLY PUBLISHED VIDEO ON EVERY LAST PAGE was a good idea, well, I would love to catch that bastard in a dark alley and throw him a wet blanket party.

Military service is still a fast track to US citizenship (as well as citizenship in quite a few other nations). Seriously, at one point in the 90's, they were considering citizenship for someone serving like 5 or 6 years, then citizenship for a family member of theirs for each additional 2 years of service

To this day, smashing locomotives is still a potentially possible thing, due to the huge design flaw - throttles that can be locked open on a vehicle that is absurdly slow to accelerate (thus allowing the operator to jump clear of the vehicle long before attempting to do so would become truly dangerous due to speed).

They can have fun trying to hack my phone. I’m stuck on android v.3. They may as well be trying to rule the world with pre-DOS 3.0 virus. Rule of thumb: It is a cell PHONE. Stay off the damned internet.

Ohhhhh.... You blew a perfect chance to be a smartass. “We spent the entire winter testing these hacks out, and now that the weather is warming up, here they are!”

People miss one important point. Rear facing seats are the last line of seats. By facing them to the rear, those seated have direct access to an exit to the vehicle - the rear hatch. If the seat faces forward, you either have to climb over the seat to reach the rear hatch or climb over the second row seats to access…

There is exactly ONE thing to be said which will make you realize this is NOT the only Batmobile that makes sense. And that things is...

So.... You’re saying they’re going to attempt to sell these to the British Army all over again, just as Mercedes sold the G-Wagen to the German and West German militaries for decades? Actually, if memory serves me correctly, Land Rovers managed to sell to at least a dozen militaries and G-Wagens to more than 40…

It makes a little bit of sense if you assume that when they named the car, they just changed a single letter in the name “Gamera”. Then go back and look at the styling with Gamera in mind.

Howdy folks. Was this article too much of a teal dear for you? (If you’re not up on your usenet originating internet lingo, that is better known as TL;DR or ‘Too Long; Didn’t Read’) Just take a quick look at just one photo and you’ll be able to guess exactly why David Tracy thinks this $500 Comanche is awesome - It is…

I’ll only consider buying one if they offer it to the public with that specific paint job.

The problem is the lack of credible law enforcement. The badged clowns will NOT do their jobs - being a cop for most is simply a way to collect a pay check while doing next to nothing unless something violent or tragic happens. 30 years ago, they’d be more than willing to pull over all the annoying jerks who drive…

Huh. I wonder why it isn’t coming here. there are quite a few vehicles on the market in this performance category. Hell, I have a dealership like 10 miles away that sells these sort of vehicles by like 4 different manufacturers, plus Mahindra jeep knockoffs. We just need some sort of vehicular electric fence…

None of my cars run. The engines fire, the vehicles move under their own power, but none of them get up, toss on their jogging shoes and run. :P

Now, now, we all know you meant “one lives on my street because it never goes anywhere because that’s how Land Rover and Range Rover seem to roll these days.”

I can tell you exactly why it tapers at the rear end - so there wouldn’t be enough room for two seats in the rear row.

Dear Jeep,

Same four REMOVABLE doors. People have already forgotten the Gladiator can be readily driven around in a perverse topless and doorless form already. Now I wonder if there are any similarities between the various tailgates.

I don’t know about now, but for several decades, the anime industry was limited to 18 colors. When Akira hit theaters, one reason why it was so big was its impact on the animation industry - the movie expanded the color palette to 30 colors. For the most part, AFAIK, those 30 colors are still standard today, even with…
