I read this and it only reinforces my concern for the state of world affairs.

we have multiple powderkegs out there ready to set the entire world in flames if you sneeze on them the wrong way. and the spineless American leadership is countered with the seeming psychopath in Russia and the hyper nationalistic Chinese.

i…

not entirely true because of Obama’s rather glaring cases of being spinless on the war scale, but you are absolutely right about the effect of Iraq (and Afghanistan) on the America people.

the only ally offhand that i can think of is Iraq (which we will all agree was a giant fucking clusterfuck of stupidty on behalf of the civilian leadership.) other than Iraq, Iran, and Syria i cant think of any other mid east nations offhand that are outright pro Russia/Anti US. the rest of them either have us kissing…

not entirely true, they do have the Cubans.

THANK YOU

pardon my first response, i forgot about Cuba.

thus if the Russians and Chinese wanted to do drills with the Cubans, fine and dandy! id want them under constant and ever prescent surveliance but they have every right to do what we do. im just not sure they could afford to.

the Toyota and Land Rovers are multiple times the price of a JK.... so my point stands.

specific incident with the Compass was at the festival a few years back. the Factory modified one had trouble getting up the Baby Lion’s back (required a running start and barely made it). there is video of a bone stock early 90’s…

and as someone pointed out, no matter how good a missile is nowadays they can still be spoofed. cant spoof a bullet.

relying on the idea of never getting into a dogfight with the enemy is the exact same fucking mistake we made back then, and is completely flawed in its logic.

augh! that was my bad, i got the two mixed up.

on that stretch of road? you are going somewhere, not jsut cruising to see whats out there. there is nothing out there.... it is.... the wasteland......

further proof they lack identiy when their semi-affordable sports car is back of the pack in every category.

id wager pretty good money the V6 Camaro and Mustang can out drive the Z

hey did you ever hear about this war called vietnam where we thought missile tech was so good we didnt need guns?

did you really need to ask? answer is “because JSF”

i wonder why they dont go with Fords approach of turning their reasonable daily driver cars into sporty versions. seems to work really REALLY well for the blue oval.

it doesnt make sense that way either, those speeds are in parts of texas way beyond the burbs.

nissan

actually modern cars (especially those with more than 6 speed transmissions) are more efficient at those speeds than 65.

its really not from what ive seen. the one time ive seen a car get pulled over they were going at least 100 while we were doing 90+

The Wrangler sells in part because its literally the only thing out there. the Miata of offroad if you will. but unlike the Miata, its grown far beyond the necessity of what its supposed to be. FFS the even offered a 2WD model for a time! and i dont mean a mail carrier model.

and most of the options are sorted out,…

doesnt count but MAN i love the SX4. i should have bought one when i had the chance
