The Taurus SHO does not get the love it deserves. That early Yamaha V6 was sublime.

I think people stopped loving the SHO when the V8 model went automatic only... (Hey FORD! Opportunity!)

An ugly Ferrari (!) chased by a Pinto Mustang. Wow, it's hard to get more 1983!

I though it was either heresy or high treason to have a WRX in any color other than blue?

Be nice to such an obvious work of genius! Can't you tell the designer poured his heart, soul, and bowels into this?

I honestly thought it was a Sebring in the middle...

PUMA PUMA PUMA PUMA!!! That's my next car you're talking shit about! ;)


(uh, not.)

It's an absolutely fantastic idea! There is a bit of room for improvement in the design, such as shrouded rotors, but overall it's a great way to get desperately needed lifesaving equipment to people in need quickly. Kudos to the young inventor who thought of this - I expect his idea will eventually save many lives.

S…

I respectfully stand corrected. I actually looked up the definition for sedan myself and came to the same conclusion. Either 2 or 4 doors are acceptable.

What was that nifty little Eastern European car with a belt driven CVT for the right and left sides? I remember a great Jalop video of them racing backwards (it was a major advantage of the type - as fast backwards as forwards). It was a thing of beauty, and I think it was rear engined...

I know that VW called it a sedan at the time, but if it has 2 doors, it's a coupe.

The type 3 is beautiful, but it's a coupe.

I don't know who is making an issue of this, but it really sounds like a tempest in a teapot. I have been a huge fan of flight sims since they first came out for a 486. I have shot down more MiG 29s, and SU-27 than I can count. I never saw China or Russia complaining about that.

CURSES! You're right.
Oops.

To the best of my knowledge MAF works wherever they're needed. I have some friends that went to Afghanistan about 8 years ago. They were flying King Air 200s from Kabul into dirt strips all over the country. MAF wrapped up the mission in Lesotho about the time the ANC took power in South Africa.

Any idea where this runway is?

I'm in Monterey, CA at the moment and my commute is awesome!

The worst I've ever endured was living in Woodbridge, VA and working at the Pentagon. The average claims to be 40ish minutes, but it never took me less than 2 hours. That was HELL. Fuck the DC area.

What the A-10 does so well is really cheap strike / close air support. They can be very effective with cheap dumb bombs, they can get low and slow over the battlefield, they can loiter much longer than the pointy nosed alternatives, and of course their cannon is a thing of beauty.

The A-10 does only one mission really well: close air support. It's also very, very useful at nearly any job that involves being near the ground and carrying lots of munitions.

When I talk about "multi-role" fighters, I'm talking about aircraft like the E/F/A-18X super hornet. It's the Navy's plan for that to be…

I hate to be rude to my beloved DoD... but wasn't getting away from the mighty "Battle Phrog" the entire reason for spending BILLIONS on the V-22?

Now they've decided that the Phrog is useful anyway - I bet these are much cheaper than Ospreys.

I think you got that exactly backwards. We're going to lower cost (debatable) multi-roll aircraft, like the F-18, F-16 and F-35, instead of highly specialized aircraft like the Warthog.

The problem with all this multi-roll passion, is that they aircraft don't do the job as well as the specialized aircraft... and…
