Back when the US was trying to give away the JFK aircraft carrier, my friends and I were trying to come up with some justifiable reason to apply for ownership. We ran the numbers to understand what fuel consumption was like, since it was one of the last non-nuclear super carriers, and it was in the barrels of diesel pe…

I was making a sarcastic comment on political power giving in to Irish destructive behavior, ie the Good Friday Agreement.

Yeah, I’d be curious if they paid taxes on their sales.

Violence neve solves....er....wait. 

“We don’t make the M1, we make it better.” Gotta love a company that somehow never developed anything of their own but was an 80s powerhouse.

Ram-air / pressurized air boxes have been a thing on motorcycles for decades. Airbox restriction, and volume, has a huge impact on performance.

While flipping upsets me, my feelings won’t change it. With that said, I think these kinds of auctions should be be no reserve. You bought your ticket, take the fucking ride.

I bought a 2017 Tacoma without a test drive. It was an auto, and to be fair my first pickup truck (after driving all manual sedans and other fun cars for decades). It was better than I expected (as I had no expectations of a pickup), but that motor and transmission really sucked.
