Yeah, 75 mph on skies isn’t really that impressive. I’m not even an expert downhill skier but I’ve gone over 80 multiple times.

How many times do I have to say it? BMW turn signals work fine and get used all the time, they just flash in colors that the peasants can’t perceive.

There’s another reason for holding off on both....2018 is supposed to be a redesign year for the 4Runner and Wrangler. Real world competition wise for both, what else is there available in the US? Wrangler has no competition and the 4Runner doesn’t really either. The Xterra is gone and really only premium options are…

It’s interesting here. In the land of free enterprise, the big three went crying to the govt.in the 70s because they couldn’t see how the Japanese could make a good car at a fair price without having cheated the system by dumping.

Bobby Age 5 was an unaccompanied minor on a flight from Detroit to New Orleans. Now two things to know about me as background are that 1) I have no kids, and 2) I’m not much of a talker on flights. I intentionally purchase over the ear noise cancelling headphones in hopes my fellow passengers get the hint. I’m…

Yep, I am a huge fan of racking up a ton of miles on a car in the first 10 years of its life. After 10 time starts to take its toll on pieces weather its used or not. If you plan to own a car for 10+ years and higher mileage the formula for success is buy as simple as possible. Luxury features and complicated systems…

+1 for scheduled maintenance. I see a lot of these and have never seen one that failed prematurely.

I don’t have an issue with the writer stepping up to help with a better car. The issue is giving it as a Christmas gift.

In stripping your TDI, you’re not getting back at the executives and engineers who deliberately deceived you. You’re just making life shitty for people way down the VW food chain who do the grunt work.

How none of them thought to address this in the actual settlement document is beyond me

“UPDATE: As we’ve noted before, Boeing apparently did make some sort of prototype stealth-ier F/A-18 Super Hornet at one point, but it appears not to have been good enough to keep it out of the scrap heap.”

Perhaps he meant making a plane with just the AirForce and Navy versions,.. and skipping the Marine version? That should be fairly easy to do. Also,.. don’t most of our planes now have better capabilities than the F35? (I.E longer range, better payload,.. faster top speed,... better dog-foghting capabilities,.. lower…

I like how pre Trump FA was like “the f35 is the dumbest idea in the HISTORY of aviation”

The answer to Donald Trump’s dilemma is not just a cheaper stealth naval F-35, but a cheaper stealth air force F-35. I believe Boeing had the answer to that as well.

You can expect that future buybacks will include “all pieces/parts originally included” in their contracts, and that there will be some question about whether, say, missing hubcaps are cause to reject your claim. It looks like VW intentionally tried to go on the honor system with people here (because no decent lawyer…

I concur 100%, and especially on the delivery systems. Russia and China are both rapidly developing advanced anti-ballistic defense systems along with more advanced ballistic missile systems. Those actually have better decoy and in-flight evasion and path adjustment technology, at least better than what we have…

An article acccusing Trump of knowing nothing about Nuclear weapons, written by someone who clearly just read about them yesterday on Wikipedia.

The Russians tried hack the RNC, but the RNC had a firewall and spam filter.

Of course he is right. Russians expands their nuclear arsenal as hard as they can. What else could/should/must US do? Talk about dissmantling their nuclear weapons like Obama did?

Preaching to the choir there.
