UH NO, unless you are taking the seized drugs and selling them the coast guard does NOT “Pay for itself.” I and every other thinking american citizen applaud the efforts of these men and women who work to take drugs off the street. But that does NOT give you a license to mislead.

Wonderful, a person who actually thinks about what they NEED, versus what they want. The two are often very different things. BTW- don’t try actually thinking about what you need for a motorcycle, this is almost universally derided by the MORE Chrome and the MOAR POWAH groups.

40k for a car with no sunroof, not even the OPTION of one? No thanks, I’ll bet this will be fixed in a year or two.

When you worship your own navel as you apparently do, facts don’t seem to matter much to you. The fact that you actually refuse to look at facts shows that you are very likely a hillary/bernie drone.

I do understand OHV engines, I built one forty years ago. Can you tell me WHY you think more valves would ruin the engine? Harley just went to 4 valves per cylinder and got more power, more torque, less fuel consumption and higher customer satisfaction. What makes you think the same thing would not apply to the SBC?

You make some interesting points, but one has to look at the huge corporate bet that Ford made with the use of turbochanging with their well received Ecoboost engines. Ecoboost engines use ONLY turbos, there are NO supercharged ecoboost engines in North America. For good reasons, parasitic drag is huge on modern…

At some point this is going to likely involve military action on our part. N Korea is still at war, the tenuous peace that exists now is only a temporary truce. That said, if we do have to go in, well, we need to look at our options really carefully. We need to get China on our side if at all possible with N Korea.

Used to be that this was too much to ask of the front wheels alone. I can’t wait to see how well Honda engineered this to work around that former handicap. I suspect the REAL limitation will be in the inevitable “Tuned” versions pushing truly insane amounts of power through the front wheels.

YOu all really need to stick to thing you know something about, automobiles. When you cross the line into social and political issues your leftist/progressive ownership really comes out.

Bean counters at automakers are NOT your friend. This is the group of people who advocated that Ford NOT equip Ford Pintos from the factory with a safeguard to prevent gas tank explosion in a rear crash- documentation in a trial showed an internal Ford memo that it was cheaper to pay off the injured and families of…

A huge problem is drivers are endlessly distracted by the lure of texting and surfing while “Somewhat” driving. This is not an isolated issue, but an endemic one- I’ve even seen police officers doing the balancing the phone on the steering wheel act while driving next to them in city traffic.

SNorting my coffee through the nose- three quarters of a million dollars? For modification of an EXISTING auto? I thought cocaine addled people died out with Miami Vice reruns.

Love it! Ho about a new Coalamino?

LOL

They were NOT well vetted, not by a longshot. Read the first chapter of “See something, say nothing” for how our gov’t systemically ignored those who may well wish us harm.

Nicely said.

Engineering resources at GM are pretty badass, I understand they corrected some of this for ‘17 production.

Hacksputtercough. LOL

Every single issue you list applies to supercharged engines as well as the turbo’d ones.

My heart breaks for these women who were likely abused here, and their being ignored for years. May they be comforted by Almighty God and find peace and comfort for their pain.
