I said this in another article you posted and was taken to task, no make that reamed out for saying that 2014 is actually a more dangerous time than at any time since WW2. The reason being is that the conflict in Korea was limited to the Korean peninsula. The conflict in Viet Nam was limited to Southeast Asia and the…

I have spelled it out and repeatedly made clear what I meant to say. Methinks that thou protesteth too much. No need for your stupid, demeaning comment either. I still hold to the belief that stopping slavery was as much an impetus for engaging the South in a conflict as was keeping the Union together. You sir fail to…

It is about time. We cannot let the Yazidi or the Kurds be destroyed by these evil terrorists-aka ISIS or ISIL. Making humanitarian drops is so vitally important, but so too is the dropping of ordnance on ISIS artillery positions. Given this extremism and religious fanaticism, I don't see much hope for a bright future…

You're factually wrong. The North did fight to free the slaves, but if you took a moment to read what I said, I made it clear the main reason was to keep the Union together. Think before you type. Thank you.

Finland is the rallying paradise. Now if we could just get the Hannu Mikola and his Group B Audi Quattro to do an encore performance, life would be perfect.

I saw you said this: "I'm in my 30's to 40's". I got 30 years on you btw.

Too funny. The city that rust built. No one would ever suspect it. Perfect!

I wish I could measure my life by approximating between decades. So, are you about 40 then?

I like this idea. 25 years is ridiculous. Imagine if Skyline R34 can prowl the streets legally. I could think of a few other Japanese and German cars that would are seductively desirable.

I wonder though if tobacco is like ethanol where the amount of energy expended to produce the jet fuel is worth it. If you look at the diesel fuel used to operate the machinery and all the water that is needed, does it make economic sense? Still, if the carbon emissions are substantially reduced, it might make it…

With a creepy looking lawyer that Bernie has, I am surprised the court did not pay Bernie $100 million just to leave.

I remember when a person could buy a 2002 brand new. I wanted a Tii so badly. Those were the days of less is more. The first E30 M3 was still pretty svelte. Somewhere along the way, BMW abandoned its lightweight philosophy and began to pack on the avoirdupois. The M5 looks great, but there is something sacrilegious…

Great idea, but I wonder if the amount of energy expended as well as the vast amounts of water needed will offset the value of the jet fuel derived from tobacco?

Formula 1 cars were like rolling coffins and many of the cars in sports car racing crushed like aluminum beer cans. Ford actually put a lot of effort into driver safety. They had a full roll cage and protective bladders in the fuel cells. Safety was paramount to them. Sadly, even with the increased safety, Ken Miles…

I remember that race very well. And yes, 1970 was the year of the standing start.

Years ago at the 1967 LeMans race, Dan Gurney quickly ran to his Ford Mk IV and took off without buckling up. He waited until he was on the Mulsanne straightaway where he held the steering wheel with his knees as he buckled up. Most of the drivers were more interested in a fast getaway than personal safety. Jim Hall…

You know, I thought that maybe the hanger was actually a ruse. Love the comment about the shed in South Dakota. Wouldn't it be hilarious if the actual projects were carried out in a remote place?

Very cool video. I loved the classic LeMans start. Too bad the cars had to go around those damn chicanes. The way the car stepped sideways in the rain tells me that one needs big cojones to pilot a GT-40 around LeMans.

Amazing technology.

One wonders what the furtive minds of these taciturn people are concocting. The projects described are right out of science fiction. I would assume that both the Russians and the Chinese are spending an inordinate amount of time monitoring the site. Another great article.
