“...the first thermonuclear bomb the U.S. tested at Bikini Atoll in 1954, dubbed “Castle Bravo,”...”

I want to buy one of these, and then drive it into a ditch so fast it ends up on its roof.

I guess that fire was... chauffer-driven?

Why not?

I don’t know a thing about bikes but I loved his articles.

A proper gear shift involves your left leg.........

I used to drive a VW CC (VR6 bruhhh), so that makes me very happy. This (and the 4-Series GC) IMO look better than the A4/3-Series sedans.

I’ll go with it except (d.). There’s no such thing as a too-short dress.

China doesn’t have much control either. Any action they take would likely lead to a refugee crisis they don’t want. Additionally, if they play it wrong, they end up with American troops directly across the river from them.

I’m not here to comment on how the guy was riding or what the cop did but I’ll say this, on a sportbike (with the near useless mirrors) on a fun run like that it would be very easy to unknowingly “run” from a cop, especially an unmarked Camaro with the less intense cop lights. Even if I saw the Camaro behind me I’d…

In an address earlier this month, Obama noted the Metro Detroit unemployment rate has been cut by more than half, the Big Three automakers are raising wages and the auto industry had a record sales year in 2015.

The last part is key, because while a lot of companies would probably love to try and experiment with online car sales like Tesla Motors does, they can’t do so without pissing off their dealer networks.

Besides enjoying a buffer with the west, China also has no desire to deal with hundreds of thousands or even millions of refugees that would surely stream across the border. There’s really no up side for them supporting regime change as long as major conflict can be avoided.

A ships ability to right from heeling or pitching forces is increased submerged hull area that causes the center of buoyancy to shift, thus creating the “righting moment”, or force, from the difference between the new center of buoyancy and the center of gravity.

...it’s not just you, Aaron...

I’ll give you that. “So, is the part your ordering for a Ford 4.6 V8 for an engine from the Romeo plant, or the Windsor plant? OK, and what year? What month?”

That’s easy. Any Ford FWD V6 from ~1989-2004. Anything to do with the engine or transaxle. Just...ugh. Still like me an old school SHO though...

I guess I missed this QOTD yesterday, I would have suggested the rear wheel well design of basically every pickup truck ever made, perhaps now excluding the aluminum Fords. Here in New England I regularly see trucks inside of 10 years - often closer to 5 years - with the rear wheel wells rusting out. There always…
