Oh, I love the Kimster. His comments are golden. For my part, I feel Ricciardo should have been given a time penalty the same as Alonso. The thing I like about Kimi is that he is real. No PC comments, no charm before the cameras to improve his image. Just, the cold, hard, Finnish facts.

I have never been a Lewis fan, but man, he deserved to win that race. Commanding lead all thrown away by a bad decision. He looked devastated. Nico lucked out on this one.

You are absurd. Here is to a generation of people who will not bow to stupid, insipid comments like yours. Why don’t you join ISIS or something?

Nothing more patriotic than seeing the Thunderbirds over the Statue of Liberty.

Brilliant qualifying lap by Lewis. The guy is so on form right now, there seems to be no stopping him. He has gelled so well with his Mercedes and the team that he looks for all the world like another Senna or Schumacher. Right place at the right time. The planets have lined up in his favor.

As if things are not cold enough, Finland has sent letters to 900,000 reservists the roles they will play in event of a war with Russia. It would seem the situation has gone from cool to icy cold in the Baltic and Scandinavian areas.

Very cogent and well written post. Wish I could gift you with your favorite beverage!

I love to see military planes preserved and flown. It always saddens me to see once great and mighty aircraft chopped up and melted down so that only a handful still exist. The B29 and B36 come to mind. I wish there were more F4 Phantoms in private hands.

Oh, Emperor Nero, I mean Obama, could start acting presidential for one thing. And, he could start by being proud of this country instead of always apologizing for it and putting it down. If he were really smart, he would take a look at how John F. Kennedy did things or Ronald Reagan. Kennedy stood up to the Soviet…

Ah, the natives are restless...

Exactly. 5 star post. Our empty suit of a president, through his feckless policies, seems to be apathetic about international problems. At least he has sharpened his golf game and March Madness basketball picks. The world burns while our Emperor fiddles.

Tyler, as a defense analyst, how should the U.S. respond to what China is doing? On the one hand, flying through corridors the Chinese have mapped out as Chinese seems to increase tensions between the two countries. But, on the other hand, doing nothing only seems to serve to stimulate Chinese hegemony over the…

I was a young teenager when Colin Chapman and Lotus with Jim Clark were part of the British invasion that included race cars and rock music. For me, the cars of this era will always be the greatest.

This makes sense. Porsche uses a V4 in the 919 LeMans race car. A flat 4 with 400 hp would give a great power to weight ratio and make both cars really fun.

I figured someone would get upset by what I said.

Imagine if the Iowa class battleships were fitted with these hyper velocity projectiles. 16” shells that could go up to 100 miles with a 2,800 lb. payload. Imagine 9 of these babies landing on a target at the same time.

I will be very disappointed if IMSA decides to keep DP along with P2 in 2017. I was hoping for one class of prototypes that would be able to race at LeMans and the European LeMans series. While the DPs give good results, they are so ugly, it makes me not want to watch on TV. And, I am still simmering over the BOP…

The Bentley was merely a rebodied Audi R8. Of course they know that the LMP car was more sophisticated, but they apparently want to be as American as a NASCAR stocker, hence their interest in DP rather than P2.

Color me underwhelmed. Honestly, if I hadn’t known that it was a 2016 Camaro, I would have thought that it was a 2015 Camaro with mild styling updates.

I can’t say that I am overwhelmed. Looks too much like the current Camaro. At least some of the avoirdupois has been removed. I feel that Ford did a much better job at revamping the Mustang than Chevy did with the Camaro. I was hoping for more.
