I yearn for the days of PROJECT CAR HELL.

Somebody inhaled waaaaaaay too much of the candy flake when they were painting the racing strips.

What the fuck is facebook? Is that the stupid political opinion and terrible food photo site?

To be fair, China and Japan, and their navies, have traded shots, and shot at civilians, in the past decade, over these islands and other territorial claims.

Did you miss the headlines about various incidents involving Japanese& Chinese military vessels, and other civilian ships of nearby nations, being targeted, seized or boarded by Chinese forces over the last few years? They’ve been fighting over these islands (well, the natural ones) for decades. I’ll say you probably…

I can guarantee you that we could sink those islands back into the ocean. Plenty of craters across the Pacific to demonstrate what kind of power the US military can bring to bear on an uncooperative Asian country (lol, not really).

We aren’t seeing the full extent of the troubles and long-term damage being inflicted to Russia’s economy but the current oil-based roller coaster. Hell, it’s the entire social structure is being eaten away in Russia - it won’t last much longer. If this war happened with China the collapse of the Russian economy would…

*1.6 billion hungry people

HAH!

Well then get your ass in your bunker and stop commenting, since you can’t change anything and you admit it. If all you can do is parrot bullshit, out-of-context faux facts like the national debt (...is not 19 trillion dollars, and I don’t have the time to explain it here in detail) then your contribution is not…

The only point of contention I have here is the idea that demand wouldn’t decrease. We’ve shifted consumer habits during times of war in the past, and I don’t see the demand from brand-new TV’s and cellphones, etc, as being so essential that it couldn’t be curtailed with enough social pressure to stop buying new shit…

SO you think Apple would have a problem? A company with literally billions of dollars in cash holdings (like, savings, not tied up in any projects) and suppliers all over the world fighting each other for their manufacturing contracts?

Seems like most people already have a surplus of these items you describe as ‘critical’. There are 5 perfectly-working large flat-screen TV’s in this house. At least a half-dozen working (but older) monitors. There’s an actual box in the basement stuffed full of working (but ‘obsolete’, by which I mean more than a…

I know entire families that lost jobs when companies like walmart ditched American-made textiles and switched to cheaper (overseas) suppliers. Just a for-instance, but those materials weren’t that much more expensive than the crap we get from China (and elsewhere).

Sooo, the other side of this argument - which people always forget despite the incredibly obvious nature of economics - is that if China stops sending us cheap shit, their economy will grind to an absolute halt before critical items become scarce in the U.S. There’s also the small factor of the dozens of smaller…

Didn’t the Aston fall into a similar category as the Nissan Deltawing? Like an exhibition class?

If you look in the other pictures there’s a similar block on both sides of the front of the car. It’s likely a very basic setup/check rig, with the central block supporting the weight of the car. The smaller darker blocks add a little height to the suspension bits, probably equal to the static ride height they’re…

How exactly do you think this will change things?

He still takes every chance to explain what DRS is, and what it looks like when it’s been activated. Like, every lap.

I’ll never tire of informing my American F1 fan friends that the SKY and BBC broadcasts are superior in literally every conceivable way to those crusty old farts on NBC.
