Why?

Cherry-pick much?

I worked 10 years in the defense industry, mostly for aerospace companies. I’ve worked another 15 years in other high-tech industries. And do you know where most of my co-workers were from? It’s not the USofA.

Yep, a LOT of the folks designing and programming the high-tech stuff that makes the F22, the…

<sigh>

“Bogus” numbers:

Dick.

It would be about as effective, apparently.

Fun fact: For the cost of one F35A (the cheapest at $108 million, including an engine,) you could send about 11,800 kids to college for four years.

(This does not take into account ancillary costs for the F53A.)

Just the U-joint. Easy to replace with a big C-clamp, needle-nose pliers, a couple of sockets with the right OD, and of course, a new u-joint.

Zzzzzzzz...

Point is, they’re talking bout the car’s HORSEPOWER. Not its HP/L ratio or its 0-45mph numbers, or how it now compares to the competition. The central subject of the article was tht the car now has a turbo giving it 89HP.

Evans’ ego is killing the show, and it hasn’t even started yet.

Every time I hear about a street racing incident, it pisses me off. No one has any business pulling this kind of crap on public roads. And people who are willing to do this have no business driving — period.

In my opinion, the current penalties for street racing are much too light. Currently in California, of you…

Dear automobile manufacturers,

Please, please, PLEASE stop writing software. Stop designing it, too.

Instead, consider hiring professionals instead. You know, the ones that actually do this sort of thing for a living and actually think about security and, more importantly, know how to do it correctly.

WOW! Lots of butt-hurt replies.

“But-but-but...”

The fact is, unless you’re driving something with the weight of a flea, 89HP is nothing to brag about.

<yawn> HP/L is the last refuge of the low-powered engine.

What matters is what happens when you put your foot on the accelerator, and the last time I checked, the effect of that action was affected by horsepower and torque, not HP/L.

IF you want to actually brag about HP/L, perhaps you should actually MENTION HP/L. The…

They didn’t.

Bragging that a car has 89 horsepower is a bit lame, unless its a go-kart.

“You Won’t Believe How Much Shittier Cars Were 40 Years Ago.”

FTFY.

What’s sadder is when you actually PAY Mazda for a navigation system, only to discover that you bought the Mazda navigation system.

OK, the “you’re speeding now” indicator is interesting from a technical point of view (but honestly, you’re pretty much always speeding, so the feature is a bit redundant.)

No, the lame bit…

89 horsepower? Wow. My ‘95 Ranger had 112. :P

Car without keys? Pretty sure my ‘09 335i doesn’t use a key either.

Apparently what’s old is new again.

Shoot, I learned to drive in Dad’s ‘68 Ford F100with a “little” 390ci V8 and a 3-speed transmission. You could easily launch the truck off-idle without touching the accelerator — one of the reasons I was taught in that truck.

That, and it’s damned near indestructible.
