are there actually any success stories to modern military hardware being modular with diverse vehicle mission profiles?

Volvo....Ford has already done the hard work for you.

most of their cars use a form of this livery

I'm sure it would be incredibly hard to do, but I would love to hear these kinds of stories from the Kurdish point of view. Especially since your articles seem far less biased, or when they are (f35 I'm looking at you) you have sound facts and figures to back up your reasoning, and could give a look at what its like…

would it be possible to destroke the flatplane v8 down to 4.0l? You could run a thicker chamber wall as well as lower compression (good for boost) as well as a destroked crank would be lighter and under square for higher engine RPM redline.

wat?

I agree with you except with one caveat. I actually saw one of these behind me at late dawn the other day and its the one LED DRL I actually like

dafuq did that come off of?

The 3000GT VR-4 and the Stealth RT-tt are both functional. they are ducted to the rear brakes. Well they're ducted into the inner wheel arch anyways. I'm not sure about the lesser trim models but I think they are as well.

Nothing is worse than these things added to the ugly butt of the accord

put a fleetside bed, remove the fender Z3 vents and put some wheels more to my liking on it and you know...... I'd actually be seen driving that.

Agreed... other than the poor wheel choice and horrible idea to begin with its surprisingly well executed and level of fit and finish is incredible. Imagine what could have been if only they chose two better ideas to merge together. And I'd absolutely still drive it just for the looks.

It all depends on viewpoint. if you WANT allthe extras then it doesn't make sense to get one with out them if you can comfortably afford it in your budget. There's people like myself that don't want all the add on stuff. I want manual windows, manual transmission, manual seats (fabric ones at that), manual climate…

HD filming and viewing has pottentially stunted my appreciation for classic videography. I fear the only solution is to gas one of these lovely ladies up and get some super HD footage of one pulling these kind of antics.

I'd be saving each and every one of the incoming #s. When all this blows over as a hoax by some moron then repeated as "news" by agencies who can't make sure their stories are factual (as is already seeming to be the case) I'd call every one of em back and demand apology

I nominate it for the best of the Lotus that never was

as a Virginia resident I dont see what the big deal is. Admittedly I live in the south west part of the state which is a lot more tolerant than the Northen parts (NoVa around DC) and the tidewater area (RRichmond and east) If you don't want to end up with a RD ticket in VA either a) don't drive here or b) don't drive…

In this case of the fuel temperature parameters the symptomatic flaw in the airframe can hopefully be remedied with time and money and the systemic flaw in the program of...well theres a lot to discuss there...and you've done a pretty comprehensive job pointing those out in your articles on the subject. Those can't be…

Great article. I read every one you post on here. To those replying to it in "my dick is bigger because I can yell louder and use worse language to call people names" your internet skills leave something to be desired. Yes the article is critical against the F-35 and the program running it but it is a subject which…
