No, he didn’t. The second similar hijacking happened AFTER this incident.

“the FBI never thought the physical descriptions of the two matched well enough to put McCoy behind bars.”

You just agreed with his wild assumptions. Do you realise the world is falling apart, because people have almost no critical thinking skills these day? BTW, starting a forum post with ‘agree’ makes you sound old.

I use ‘proud to be a veteran’ plates, because I figure it might get me off on a ticket someday.

For reference the year the TJ came out I ordered one from the factory. I got full doors, and hard top, the big engine (the venerable I6), a manual tranny and that’s it. Its cost $18k in 1996. But a slight lift on it, got a soft top for the summer, and new wheels and tires. Fun car.

The driver is also part of it. In 1983 I bought one of the fastest production motorcycle, a Honda V45 Interceptor. A guy in my unit had a GPZ550, and we raced. He beat me, then he borrowed my bike, and took it to  the track. Set a track record, but I suppose that’s not all that rare with faster bikes each year. I had…

Rule of thumb #1: If its on warrenty, make the dealer fix it. Always. No exceptions.

If your panties get in a bunch because you smell weed, you are the problem. Not them.

Looks like they took the general idea to minimize risk, but did their own thing to gain the experience in astronautics.

Heated gloves are a thing. Take it from someone who grew up in Minnesota, they work.

Yeah, I don’t blame them. It’s practically the same market. Ford might want to dip their toe in that exact look in years ahead. They pay the lawyers to keep their options open, and it is every bit their right.

Moore’s law is what you are referring too, and it is not applicable anymore. He based it on transistor miniaturization, and we are near the limit apparently. Instead of the predicted 2 years we are almost at 4 now. It held at 2 for many decades, though.

Someone give him $10k so he can get himself a patent.

I had to go look up what a shooting brake was. It’s a sports car station wagon. A little like that old Mazda Protege5 I owned, I mean if it cost five times more. Looks nice, though.

Atoms can be destroyed. That’s what an atom bomb is. It’s what put Einstein in the books with his E=MC^2. The M is matter. The E is energy. When you destroy matter, you get energy (and vise versa).

If you think this can happen to any car because they all have electric door actuators now a day, well you are wrong. This takes a special level of incompetence that only Musk can bring to the table. That’s why he has more money than you will make in your entire lifetime, along with a million more people just like you.…

It copied the Camaro front end, and it has four doors. Why would anyone... I just don’t get it.

Are we sure about those numbers? You’d have to apply 17 rolls of duct tape per minute for 24 hours straight to reach 25k rolls. Allow me to reserve judgement.

To me the problem looks like a lack of clear coat. Its unprotected 300 series stainless steel. 300 series is the absolutely cheapest grade of stainless you can use. Its soft, it galls, and it gets surface rust. It’s the crap they put on appliances. They are not using precipitation hardened aircraft grade stainless…

I think there are cruisers that dump oil out the back, and have blades the pop out of the hubcaps, too.
