Yump is a term used by Scandinavian drivers when rally cars catch air.

Florida homeboy?

This is why I said I felt that the Super Hornet was best for Canada. Cheaper, easier to maintain, rugged and able to do multi missions. If the supporters of the F35 are right, it will be superior to the Super Hornet, hence my comment about Canada fielding them in overseas conflicts if it ever got to that level, which…

Well, the Dukes of Hazard basically rally raced their Charger [s]. Flying down dirt roads, drifting and doing yumps tells me that the Charger is the perfect rally vehicle.

I believe you are right. They use cutters for their missions though. Given tight budgets, I cannot see the Coast Guard procuring Mk VI patrol boats which seem more designed for special operations.

Makes sense what with the Fiat/Chrysler merger. They should put Viper V10s in them so that they can on the scene quicker.

That was an amazing pass as was the one on his teammate Vettel. Ricciardo has become a sensation and no doubt with have a WDC to go with his name in the future. Good thing though that the pass was on Kimi and not Hamilton, because the results may have been far different with one having a cut tire and the other having…

This is no Coast Guard vessel although I suppose it could be used in that capacity. If you read the article, it is to be deployed by Navy amphibious ships for deploying frogmen, launching UAVs, UUVs as well as enough firepower to intercept small craft that are a threat to the fleet. Plus, they be deployed rapidly,…

The war in Syria has become somewhat paradoxical. On the one hand, you have Bashar Assad and his government killing many innocent people through his brutal dictatorship. On the other hand, it would seem the rebel force now consists mostly of ISIS types. So, the question begs to be asked, "who is more dangerous?" …

You can see the DNA of the WW2 PT boats as well as the Viet Nam era gunboats in this sleek craft. We have seen the need for small, fast and deadly boats that can interdicting pirates and terrorists on the high seas. Its versatility is just what the Navy needs to meet future threats. Another wonderfully interesting…

I would think that the Super Hornet would be the best bang for the buck for Canada. It is proven and reliable and much cheaper. Besides, I don't see the need for Canada to field F35s when the U.S. is right next door. Canada has superb pilots and training and I would think that the for any multi-mission roles, the…

OK, makes sense now. So that is where Jean Claude Killy got his Z/28. Just a small drive from France.

Was this at Laguna Seca aka Mazda Raceway?

Having grown up during Colin Chapman's heyday, I have always been in the Lotus position. My ultimate car still is a Lotus Exige. After watching this video, I now want a batshit crazy Exige. Keep it simple and have a ridiculous power to weight ratio.

The fact of the matter is that men tend to gravitate to certain types of cars as do women. However, that in itself does not mean that certain cars should be stereotyped as a chick or dude car. While I have never owned a Miata, I have always wanted to ever since the first version came out. At the moment, I drive a…

Sacre bleu, the French just acted on common sense rather than their own special interests. The Russians have enough military equipment right now to stir the pot. Napoleon would be proud.

OK John, I salute you for your service. I think we can agree to disagree. See, I am Viet Nam age, so I have quite a different take on things than you do. Doing nothing and treating ISIS as an existential threat does nothing to deal with the problem. Our approach to the way we deal with terrorism is the crux of the…

Well, Dennis Rodman thinks Kim Jung Un is a swell guy, so Lucifer, I mean Bernie, must feel the same about Vladimir. I mean c'mon, they have so much in common. Same cute smile, same passion for torturing small animals and of course, same affection for godfather like power. When it is Bernie's time to go, I am sure…

Oh, I touched a nerve. That's cute as well. I said my piece while your reply was a real piece of .....

Well, if that is true, then the whole world is doomed because they are gaining impetus with each day. I don't buy what you are saying at all. Just wondering if you are working for the Obama administration or the State Department because your line is something that they would say at a press conference.
