Cool. I will check it out. Thanks!

Totally correct, it should have been 1% vs 1% I am an idiot. Mea culpa.

LOL I absolutely do have a math problem. My bad, I had originally planned to do it in terms of 10% but the article I referenced talked about 1% reductions so I adjusted them down.

Both healthcare policy and the DoD require significant oversight and restructuring to focus on reduction of spending and waste. Was not suggesting any particular path, just suggesting that a change in the way healthcare is priced/costed/managed is necessary. Thanks for your input.

You may or may not be aware that the total defense budget for the US is $584 Billion. SS, Medicare and Medicaid combined are $1.866 Trillion. these are numbers published by the CBO @ cbo.gov for 2016

Def, for $17 this thing is CP it could probably command less than half of that to someone who wants it. I will say however this does seem like one of the “most finished” projects featured on Jalopnik. Most of them are just barely held together with a wish and a prayer.

“Most advanced Dodge ever! Now with less leftover Mercedes parts!”

I think everyone’s comments are 100% true, it comes down to sentiment / emotion / money, however I watch a lot of TV and from this detailed research I have come to the conclusion that, with the cost of an entry level luxury car al la BMW 3 series, Jaguar XE, Mercedes C320, etc. you could have a pretty bespoke late…

“You know, the ‘Murican Motors Corporation, established by German immigrants in 1912 and today owned by a large and handsomely profitable Japanese land mine manufacturer.”

This...100% this. I love my B5 wagon even if everyone else thinks its dumb.

If you read this sentence, you may have missed what it said,

The VRIS (Variable Resonance Intake System) on the Mazda / Ford 2.5L KLDE/KL03 V6 engine did exactly this. It had 3 “lengths” it could use to tune the runner to the engine RPM. It also sounded great.

The Montero was quite a capable offroader though.

I work with a gentleman whose name is, I kid you not, Micheal Hunt. He goes by Mike.

I see what you did there...wood...

I was hoping for a similar answer...YugoUte

Should we be concerned that in your last picture there is a Ryobi circular saw that looks ready for action?

We need to focus more research efforts on radiation eating microbes.

I wanted to like this, I have always like this body style. Sadly, for the same reasons as the rest of you; lackluster engine, no attention paid to detail, rust, and those gawd awful late model wheels (at least put some AMG monoblocs on there or something).
