It’s got the same odd proportions at the back any mid engine car suffers from. /yes I said it, ducks rotten fruits

That’s like saying cow shit is better than horse shit.

I had a friend some years ago in the late 90's who was a Marine Corps reservist. He said the motto of the USMC Reserves was “First to an Army garage sale”.

Furthest I lived from a McDonalds was Glennallen. 137 miles, or 274 round trip. Just head down the Glen...second light, it’s on the right.

Sounds like my neck of the woods. McDonalds is a 45 minute round trip. It takes almost an hour to get to a Wal-Mart. But, there are 2 gun shops in my hometown.

I remember their Hummers were having issues climbing our vehicle storage ramps. That is when one of the guys told me exactly what you just said. They didn’t even have doors on my first deployment in 03.

I have no idea where I heard this joke, but it was about a soldier only wanting to fly on a Chinook if it had actively flowing leaks. He argued that if there were no leaks, it had run out of something and was too dangerous to fly in.

I don’t know man. That sounds like it involves math, and I don’t like math.

I would love it if each year we could see a recap list of 1) the biggest NP wins, 2) the biggest CP losses, and 3) the closest wins/losses

I was hoping SOMEONE would be old enough to get it.

The direction of rotation thing was discussed at length which is why we decided we COULD mount a VW flat four up front in a Willys, backwards.

I would pay for a movie adaptation of this.

No joke, we’ve discussed this.

The term originated with the British to describe special horse-drawn carriages built to carry hunting parties (a “brake” was a kind of simple cart used to train horses, and someone adapted them to haul their party out on a hunt, thus “shooting brake” was born). Then the term was adapted to coachbuilt—usually…

Fake news! I’ve been getting speeding tickets in manual-transmission cars for years now. YEARS.
