While it’s not a “War Film”... I think the characterization of the Vietnam War in Forrest Gump was actually well done. It even has the soldier that had fetishized being KIA shown losing that view.
Well, it should have at least won “Best Performance by a Rubber Baby”. Had that on lockdown!
That’s what he outwardly identifies as. His ignominious inauguration was more a church service than a govt function based on how many prayers were said from the lecturn/pulpit.
Pretty sure the new term should be “radical Christianity”.
All-Wheel-Drive mid engined supercharged MINIVAN! I wish I had one, some days...
Even better, yes, they were printed with a Magnetic ink so they could be read with what was basically a tape player head. Each number would produce a unique pattern. So, it did take a while to create a font that would produce different patterns for different numbers, and ALSO be human readable.
If they really wanted to be more inclusive, they would have lost the “In God We Trust” because not all of us, do. More and more of us don’t, actually.
You know, I am ok with this... Soccer Moms who don’t want to be seen in a Minivan have kept the wrangler selling more and more the past 10 years, so it kept the car in production long enough for me to buy one.
That’s because the 4-door wrangler is the new “Soccer mom” mobile. As one of my former co-workers said “I’d rather be dipped in shit than drive a minivan!”, so she was in a Pilot. You know, a minivan with a high load floor and poor ergonomics and poor storage. I told her, “You know, that it’s a poor handling Honda…
It isn’t really. The XJ was very capable and they even made a pickup off of the platform. But BoF is cheap and easy to manufacture, lowers the CoG slightly compared, but it does raise the load-floor slightly. Makes for slightly easier to modify suspension, gives you more places to weld stuff to, and, if engineered…
The Troller T4 would have been that vehicle. If they could justify the small numbers that it would sell for the first year, they could have done it. Sell it as a niche vehicle and after 2-3 years, it would have sold more and more as people saw it on the trails next to the Wrangler. If the Troller had been selling here…
Exactly how do you figure that? To get through school I worked at a quick oil change place, and I saw the undersides of MANY cars/trucks. The Ranger looked the same underneath as a Bronco II, just different wheelbase lengths. Same with the same era of 4Runner and Taco. I dare you to get under an ‘85 4Runner and an ‘85…
Except every generation of wrangler has grown into a better off-road vehicle stock. Bronco? Nope opposite. Ranger? Nope.
Just meant that why would you lower the windshield?
Doors? 2 bolts and a wire. No issues there. I can doors off in 5 minutes in my garage.
Nope, never do I take the roof off, but I do take the doors off and all the windows out so I just have shade...
Damn you, I hate that you are right, but you are so right! I see reflections of this every day and I hate it.
So far, SWA is the ONLY airline that has done me right. Admittedly I don’t fly all that much, maybe 4-5 round trips a year, but in the past Delta, Frontier, and United have all booked me on flights that have a 45-60 minute layover, and then arrived 30-45 minutes late and I have watched the plane push back just as I…
And yet I would rather fly Southwest than United or Delta because I have yet to be left at the airport when one flight gets in late. Last night we waited at the gate for 20 minutes for passengers from another flight to board. This goes way beyond artificial On Time surveys (Yes, they all pad their arrival times)
