Stand for something or fall for everything right? yes, 99% of my posts are biased because I've driven, owned or worked on many car makes just like everyone else on this site. I prefer VW. Just my opinion :)

Fords cars have always been plagued with problems. I will never trust Ford again especially with their attempt to leap into the technology game.

No, it still performs the same role the Apache does (with the exception of the troop carrying capacity of the Hind). The Russians have their own A-10 equivalent in theater, the SU-25 ‘Frogfoot’.

British number plates are awesome. Because you can check online, whether a car is taxed and has a MOT (annual test of a vehicle’s roadworthiness), which indicate regular road use. Half of the cars are taxed and MOT’ed.

Oh they’re not even close to the only ones. Establish any set of boundaries and requirements, and people will try to beat it.

Maybe it’s the fact that his accent evokes in my mind a bad WWII movie villain, but I don’t believe a damn thing this guy is saying.

What is wrong with everyone on this panel?

“Holy shit he’s got an accent. Everyone speak really slowly. Almost like he’s an idiot, and not highly educated at all.”
