Really? I drive a 'fun' car....a speedy, flashy colored, 2-door, highly modified Corvette C6 which is now a dedicated track car. I write good.

For me, sound is an integral part of the performance car experience. Amongst other qualities, Ferrari's are well known for their 'signature' sound. The yellow LaFerrari is a gorgeous looking and terrific sounding high performance car (albeit a bit subdued sounding for my tastes). I don't want loud and obnoxious....I…

What a needless and tragic situation. If I were threatened and terrorized by a gang of bikers I also would do everything possible to flee the danger and protect my wife and family (and some people still argue against citizens lawfully owning and carrying firearms for personal protection). From what I've read of that…

Photos like this are hard to take. I'm not a hunter but I'm not necessarily anti-hunting either (except for trophy hunters which I despise). I understand hunting is often needed to thin-out dangerously overpopulated herds amongst other benefits. I'm glad this story had a happy ending and the injured deer was saved.…

Good post and sadly these examples of government waste are merely the tip of the iceberg. Its been a long time coming but government (and especially the obama regime) has lost any semblance of fiscal common sense. Besides these few examples of irresponsible spending, on a much larger scale many major government…

Good article! Most cops are good but many aren’t. The badge and gun often come with a smug sense of entitlement. Cops always want the upper hand whether it’s overwhelming force (safety in numbers), the element of surprise, the intimidation factor, superior weaponry or proactively eliminating any film or video evidence…

What's old is new again. I grew-up in Birmingham, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit) back when Detroit was the Motor City. Occasionally, the major car makers would unveil new models and/or prototypes in Shane Park. I still remember a full-body, brushed stainless steel Lincoln Continental on display. I didn't make it as…

I agree....you don't think those iphones make themselves do you?

Good stuff! I'm glad to see certain systems being upgraded and improved but I realize our overall military capabilities are being systematically degraded in favor of massive entitlement spending. Irrespective of the fact we're spending trillions of dollars we don't have in the first place, sacrificing our national…

It's the government.....what would you expect? They seek to control every aspect of how we live but they often ignore or 'exempt' themselves from the very laws they impose on us. There are successes to be sure but overall the government is so massively incompetent in so many respects it's impossible to hide. The…

"Will, I encourage you to read a book or a newspaper..." Times change....traditional (print) books and newspapers are rapidly becoming as obsolete as these now extinct auto plants.

The government seizure of General Motors wasn't to save GM, the US auto industry or to make a profit. The regime engineered the take-over of GM to save the unions (a prime Democrat constituency) whose existing labor contracts would have been 'broken' had GM gone through a traditional bankruptcy and reorganization. In…

Are there no building permits and project plans on-file and accessible to the public? Certainly San Francisco government would have stringent regulations to evaluate, approve and tax every aspect of such a large construction project. On second thought, google is probably so well connected politically they can avoid…

It sounds potentially like a wonderful (albeit pricey) product for protecting your the body of the car. I'm an avid amateur road racer whose tried various products to protect 'critical' areas of the body from dings. Most products (like clear film sheets, PVC or painter's tape, Road Wrap, etc.) look pretty tacky when…

I don't own the latest-greatest iphone so I can't comment on that but as far as a "...leaf out of Microsoft's book..." I must be an exception. My Microsoft OS machines have been exceedingly reliable and trouble-free over-the-years. I've never had a problem with malware and what few 'issues' I've had were minor. I…

Someone once told me there are two things necessary for a great camping experience.....know what you like and then bring it all with you. I'd pass on the group, theater style seating though.

As an avid, amateur road racer Formula 1 is my favorite road racing venue. I'm a fan. The technology in a Formula 1 car is truly amazing. That being said IMO there's simply too much emphasis on going 'green' in F1. Bernie and the FIA talk about reducing costs for the teams, reducing on-track testing, etc. Then, they…

One might think talented Chinese government programmer's might develop algorithms to better automate the process of monitoring the population (much like our NSA does) but I guess the Chinese have never shied-away from throwing sheer manpower at a 'problem.' Maybe it's a labor union thing.

I think the term "cool" refers more to the laser technology (and its effectiveness) than to "war" or "warfare." I agree there is nothing cool or glorious about war....about killing fellow human beings. That said the sad reality is we do not exist in an idyllic utopia. There are evil people who will kill you, kill…

I agree. I bought a Surface Pro some time back and resisted the temptation to immediately install Classic Shell or Start8. I wanted to familiarize myself with pure Windows 8 first. Ultimately, I installed Start8 to regain Windows 7 (like) Start Menu functionality and it provided the versatility I wanted. IMO it's the…
