Why on Earth do you say that? The four wheel steering on the new Porsches is supposed to be amazing. I may accept the argument that it's a bit over complicated, but it definitely works.
I don't' think they ever even sounded like a good idea... It was just a way to get around a misguided, but well intentioned, law.
As with many things Porsche:
Step 1: remove engine
Step 2: everything else.
WTF? That may be the stupidest engineering choice I've ever seen.
Where I am (Monterey, CA) Diesel has been cheaper than regular for the last month! It's been great! (I have a '10 TDI wagen)
I had one with the 2.7 Biturbo. It was a service monster. I've never payed so much to own a car. There was no such thing as a "minor service" I never spent less than $1K on a service. OUCH!
I say "screw it." Let the USAF and ANG mothball them.
Let the people who really appreciate them scoop them up cheaply - the USMC. It really is, and always has been, the perfect aircraft for the Marines. They would love them and keep them around until doomsday and beyond.
Awesome picture. Grumman sure makes them tough.
You may need to explain to the non-navy types what an AME does. ;)
As the pilot of the Mighty P-3 Orion, I'm not impressed. They had a cowling come loose... annoying, but no big deal.
Kissing cousin of the Dragon Corvette?
I always thought those looked like shuttlecraft from Star Trek: The Next Generation. In it's day I wanted one for it's amazing nerdiness. It hasn't aged well. Better nerd option: Previa.
Here we have the winner! It's really hard to out-awful this steaming heap of badge engineering at its worst.
It's weird and only 3K and runs. NP for me. (But I'll keep looking for a Vanagon.)
Finished Senna last night. What a tragedy. :(
Great movie. Sad.
I will. Tonight
I wonder if this will be worth the $70 Grand?
Isn't that the official vehicle of the jilted woman?
Awesome. :)
