Don't worry, I get your point. My counterpoint is that it's easy to sit around in another country with little or no global responsibility and pick nits with the way the USA does things. Sure, the US constantly struggles to balance its cynical self interest with its professed ideals, and not always successfully, but at…

I'm not going to attempt a blanket defense of US foreign policy, because I'm certainly not universally supportive myself. However, you seem to be implying that, if the USA (or some equivalent superpower) didn't exist, the world would somehow be a much better place. That seems rather hopelessly naive...

Take with a big grain of salt, but a Putin analyst recently on NPR opined that he:

Oh, and adding modest amounts of horsepower (+100-150HP) to a GT-R is actually pretty cheap. It's only if you want to get crazy that it gets really expensive.

I think you'd find it's hard to cut a significant amount of weight in a cost effective and practical manner without impairing the streetability of the car. Things like titanium exhausts can cut substantial weight without giving up much practicality, but they're *expensive*. In terms of lap times, improving the braking…

It'll be big enough to fit an aircraft carrier, but will it be big enough to fit a GT-R? ;)

Most guys who mod their GT-Rs go for big power, but for the track what it really needs are a few more modest changes - mostly better rotors and pads. It also benefits from wider wheels/more rubber (I'm running 305 width tires all around at this point, and it really helps the under steer behavior). Oh, and while this…

Because logistics wins wars.

That's ok, I turned "AAA, AA" into "AA, A" in mine.

If you have a lot of batteries to charge, and value versatility, it's hard to beat the Powerex MH-C808M, which will simultaneously charge or condition eight batteries, which can be a mixture of AA, A, C, or D cells.

Hey Stef, remember this guy? When I drove him (her?) in CHUMP he was slightly tail happy, but in a very controllable and entertaining way. As I recall there was a weight in the trunk area...

Not a track that suffers fools lightly. Plenty of nice big rocks await those making a trip through the outfield.

As someone who owns and tracks a GT-R, I can safely say I hate this guy even more than most of you.

This is exactly why we need to protect the car buying public from Tesla direct sales!

I'll be out there Sunday (as well as a full 3-day event at the end of February) in my GT-R. You're welcome to take it for a spin around the circuit if you can convince the organizers to let me ride shotgun. I think you'd enjoy it, even if you don't dig GT-Rs: last time I was out there it was hitting 155 on the back…

From wikipedia: "Richthofen championed the development of the Fokker D.VII with suggestions to overcome the deficiencies of the then current German fighter aircraft.^[25] However, he never had an opportunity to fly the new type in combat as he was killed just days before it entered service."

Hold on, I just saw it in another Jalopnik post. Where was it... Oh, yeah: http://jalopnik.com/this-guy-just-…

As someone who appreciates single player games that actually have a good story, I see Destiny as emblematic of a disturbing industry trend, where story, writing and solo-play are relegated to the back of the bus in favor of co-op, PVP, and features oriented toward only the hardest of the hard core.
