Yes sir, I was more pointing towards big power driving front axles.

I loved mine, silly as the idea might be, it wasn’t without precedent. Oldsmobile and Cadillac did it in the 70's with big blocks.

A lack of knowledge does not imply malevolence, be nice, it was a legit question for someone in the dark about such things.

I don’t wholeheartedly disagree with this but calling Ferraris ugly is a stretch. I am a little bit concerned about the direction your recent articles have taken, first we owe stance culture an apology (really?) now this? Next Porsche is going to be overrated and the only good Miata is a stanced Miata. Are you ok sir?

While I can agree with most of your list I must defend my Commander. 105k on the clock and nary an issue, granted it was a last year model but it started out as a rental vehicle. I use it for an overlanding rig and have no complaints.

Well said. I have drunk tea with those "nails" as our foreign friend so eloquently vomited. I have played with those kids and comforted those families when the true enemy killed their families because they hoped for something better. Our foreign policy is not without blemish, but depicting our troops as jackbooted…

Yet your avatar is a chill pill, is that a reminder to yourself? I imagine you are from the enlightened north? I am from the south and I'm not offended by being called a savage, it just saddens me that your self righteousness is something you think so superior simply because of where you were birthed. I would much…

I would suggest the overlanding route, it already has the interior started for it. You could just drive it west for the Overland Expo and do a series of stories on what you had to do to get it there, and try to secure a spot on the Continental Divide Expedition that Mr. Hanson does after the Expo every year. Good easy…

Fixed pitch prop on that particular aircraft, there is no feathering.

Oh, you're not insulting. I disagree on its your assessment however. The quotation marks were a bit pedantic, he is indeed a friend and a pilot. Maybe not one as esteemed as you however he does fly the Astar for CBP and before that the big stuff for the oil rigs. His experience with swapping ends is anecdotal, the…

The issue with NOTAR as I see it is input lag, mushy pedal as folks have described. A pilot friend of mine also mentioned that tail swapping was not uncommon. I think the theory is sound, great even, but execution is still being finessed.

I sincerely appreciate replies such as this. Replies that don't throw political rhetoric into the mix. Great reply sir. Thank you.

The best one in relatively recent times was Steel Beasts. I don't want to take away from DCS Combined Arms, I think it is a fantastic concept. I just want a more dedicated armor sim, not a module add on, though a decent one. World of Tanks is a joke, for a modicum of realism I play War Thunder, and it has its own…

I use this simulator because it is really the only game in town, pun not intended. It started for me with the Black Shark simulation and has developed from there. What I am most excited about is that more and more external developers are coming on board and they all seem to want to outdo each other in detail and…

One has to wonder if they had the presence of mind to return to their ship after the impact. Long flight back to land.

Oh, I think we do ok finding oil, Bakken oil fields ring a bell? Or Alaska? Or Texas? No beef with Canada but try harder than that sir.

Some civilian models came with gas motors. Not the most popular/practical option.

New, 90k ish, used well within your stated budget sir.

This isn't a bad choice, good call sir. Crowd source designed, owner built, GM power train means maintenance is relatively inexpensive. I have seen these in person and they are very interesting.

They will likely never hit civilian surplus markets, sure municipalities and local government will get them, but us average joes likely will not, emissions and safety prohibit it currently.
