just saw this things old shell its on top of a shipping container in the San Fernando valley here in LA —and its in BAD shape —but still around

If you're saying that executives have to be held responsible, I couldn't agree more, but as of now, no executives have been placed on leave...

No, they need to put the blame on the people in charge. The executives have to know what's going on in their departments. They have to know about decisions made to reduce costs and the effects they have. They have to face the consequences of not solving critical problems under their control.

The way it usually works is that the engineers design a part, management wants it cheaper, the engineers bring to attention the fact that cost-cutting will make the part more prone to failure, the management takes that into advisement and proceeds with production of the defective design against the advisement of the…

Yep, Engineers like expensive stuff. Accountants like cheap stuff. (for other people anyways)

Everyone calling for blood...please stop being stupid. Please.

Paid leave does not mean "and then they shall never be let go." Once the investigation concludes and the possibility of a counter-suit by the dismissed is covered, this will be complete. Also, there may be more individuals involved down the line as well.

Chri…

Assuming there's no union involvement in play here, the fact that these guys are on paid leave is telling.

Paid leave is what you give when you're still investigating. It's easier than being sued for lost wages if an investigation doesn't turn up anything.

it's a precursor to their layoff... "You didn't really screw up but the media has crucified us and since you didn't catch some other assholes mistake soon enough you're our scapegoat...start looking for another job...I hear Walmart is hiring"

The ship in this video is the USS Kitty Hawk. Video was recorded in 2007-2008. She was my home for 4 years from 2003-2007. This was taken on the deployment after I left. I have enjoyed a few deployments with swells just as bad and worse. We had one deployment where one of the catwalks on the bow had to be replaced.…

That's awesome, along the same lines I've been pondering the options available with the Ford Flex. AWD turbo stock, surely I can morph it into a beast of a sleeper. I love me a longroof sleeper and this one gets overlooked.

The above image is an interior shot of the car. I'm not an expert on Bentley's or cars of this era, but is the location of the shifter a stock feature or was it relocated next to the door? Odd place...

I love clean "are you sure that's not factory?" installs like this. Now I have to go look for late S-10s with LS swaps...

I want to see this decal package. Yellow wheels and all.

Can confirm all points. I've had mine (33's) since nov and they are super quite and civil on the highway, but work like a champ off road and they kill it in the snow too...almost to the point of them being no fun. I'm hoping the rumors of long tread life are true because they are expensive suckers.

It's sort of like if there was a sport that had you build a ship in a bottle with glue and tweezers, and then blow it up. All while being timed.

If you're wondering what kind of advantage this is, the two Mercedes cars pulled a six second lead over the rest of the field barely two laps after the late race restart at the last GP. They were up to an 11 second lead not long after that.

We already have it technically. Just not on a mass production scale lol.

you can use html and embed almost anything

crazy details on these level of cars. much math.
