Back in 1978 when I was sitting on a college degree with no way to use that education, I checked out the Army. I passed a linguistics test with flying colors, so they wanted me to go to Monterrey and either study Russian or Chinese. They were offering quite a bit of a financial incentive to do this, but I ended up not…

I have wanted one of these so badly. If I had the money, I would have both a GT40 and Mk II built for me. Being a teenager in the 60s, Ford and Carroll Shelby made cars that were legendary even when they were racing. I still remember customizing Aurora road racing slot cars and making them like those raced by Shelby…

Well, I beg to differ. I happen to live where there is a very large repository of Somalis. Many of them are Wahabi. Since I work with many of them, I have many times been coaxed to visit their mosque with them. They tell me that they have the one true god and that the Qu'ran is the only holy book. Maybe where you…

Well, you probably won't have Muslim Billy Grahams preaching in the US, but I guarantee you that it is being done. Just look at England and how overt it is, even to the point of some schools having to follow a dumbed down Sharia policy. However, those who adhere to Wahabi Islam are certainly trying to make a case to…

I saw this picture a couple of years ago when Tony was still racing for Home Depot and Gibbs and thought it fitting. Look at the letters on the door of the pickup truck: They say, "BS".

Well spoken. 5 star post!

Progressive, educated Muslims are generally, very decent and good citizens. As for evangelizing, I believe in reciprocity. That means that if Muslims are welcome to share their beliefs, then so too should other religions be allowed to share their beliefs in Muslim countries. Of course, we all know that this is one…

John, I assume then that you would feel the same about non-Muslims moving to Muslim countries and being able to freely practice their respective religions. After all, this is about reciprocity and about being fair.

You are right of course. Here, we have a pluralistic, democratic society where freedom of speech and religion are given right. In Islamic countries, any religious thought contrary to Islam is usually dealt with in a forceful manner. Personally, letting people choose what they want to believe actually strengthens a…

In my next life when I am a 7 foot tall talented teenage basketball player with a bright future ahead of me, I will get one of these. If you are going to have a Bentley, it has to be baller.

Not where I live my friend. Somalis pride themselves on conquering Christians and winning them over to Islam. If you are familiar with the proselytizing in American prisons, you will soon find out that the Islamic Evangelists are out in force. They are especially targeting African American males. My main issue is why…

I love this car. Wouldn't mind one myself. Just remember Patrick to keep it within the bounds of Texas and out of Rappahannock County in Virginia. The road nazis take a dim view on anything enjoying anything car related.

There is something very menacing about a black Charger in your review mirror. Especially one with a 370 hp V8 and AWD and discreet police identification. A city I live close to, but hate driving through, has dozens of these cars [2014s]. The thing that I hate is that rather than being more interested in "to protect…

Learning languages should be required not only for the military, but for your average American high school student. Studying another language helps give perspective on how others live and what they believe. And, you gain more respect for the people whose language your are studying. I am operational in about 6…

BigDan: If what you say is true, than why has there not been problems between Muslims who have moved to the West, especially the U.S. and Christians? I never read or hear anything regarding tensions between the two religions. And, Muslims are evangelizing right here in the good old US of America. So, if the situation…

Update, ISIS has taken hundreds of Yaziki women under the age of 35 to be used as sex slaves basically. Just as Boko Haram is doing, these devils have no scruples or morals that most other humans live by. Let the iron rain fall on them. http://news.yahoo.com/iraq-official-…

Exactly. Has the looks and cache of a Ferrari with more of an affordability for us average car geeks.

Win for all. The city gets revenue, a historical site gets refurbished and having a mix of retail and residential will keep it viable. Plus, enthusiasts get a go-kart track. The world would have peace if there were more go-cart tracks...

Well, now I have heard everything. Getting stimulated by a misfiring engine takes the cake. I have found my reactions to be quite the opposite when it has happened. I have wanted to commit first degree murder on my engine by putting it out of its misery with either a pistol or heavy maul. No votes for strokie.
