"Aren't there DHS or Federal grants available for this sort of thing?" While I sympathize with the Detroit firefighters don't forget the federal government is careening towards insolvency itself. Sadly, the federal government exists on credit....under the obama regime our national debt has skyrocketed to almost $18…

Good job...and this barn-raising without Skilsaws, power drills, generators or electricity. I respect the Amish. Just watching the daily news will enhance one's appreciation of the Amish....their community, culture and lifestyle.

I'm pleased the USA has will have a Formula 1 team but sadly in Formula 1 they're no longer "engines".....they're (needlessly over-complicated) "power units."

At least it sounds like a 'real' Formula 1 car.....not the limp-sounding 2014 car with all the needless, gimmicky, green technology. A Formula 1 driver at 17 years of age? I have my doubts but we'll see how young Max does.

The double standard is that quite often ordinary citizens are prohibited (by the police) from recording their own video of an event or incident. The cops like to use their own video to selectively benefit themselves but they fear video taken by citizens. There have been numerous accounts of police stopping citizens…

How is it when you start a post and then hit cancel it gets published? I would have thought "canceling" an unfinished post would delete it. Oh well, please disregard my unfinished post....thanks.

I have a healthy fear of government and police authority in general. I realize Mr. Oliver is first and foremost a comedian and entertainer (terms used loosely) who has likely never been to Ferguson

I stuck it out until the end thinking the so-called 'chase' would lead to something exciting or worthwhile....unfortunately it didn't. What a waste....totally boring!

Just when you thought (or hoped) Edward Snowden was finally finished the media continues to keep the spotlight on him. To see him embrace the flag of our great nation makes me sick. Snowden is a publicity whore without honor or personal integrity who lied and deceived to further his own deluded agenda. IMO the…

My sympathies go out to Kevin Ward, his family and friends and to Tony Stewart. IMO it was a tragic accident. From what I've read and seen so far no one has mentioned how incredibly dangerous it was for Kevin Ward to get out of his car (to confront Stewart) on a hot track. In the amateur road racing organizations I…

Not surprising....you're dealing with the government.

That's a take....print it!

The Shuttle program was an incredibly successful achievement which the United States can be proud of. It saddens me that the United States of America now has to pay and rely on (our 'good friend and ally') Russia to put an American in outer space.

They can utilize an existing weapon system (torpedo launchers) which eliminates the need and expense of retrofitting new, additional deck mounted launchers. The capabilities of the existing system are enhanced.

I respect your opinion but I question your conclusion. I own a Ford F250 Super Duty. It's not necessarily my daily driver nor is it used as a work truck for business. I do, however, frequently haul 'cargo' in the bed of the truck. It's used to pull a horse trailer as well as my auto trailer. I've used it to rip-out…

Good stuff! For me sound is an integral part of the performance car experience. With the trend to smaller displacement engines and hybrid power many 'performance' cars sound absolutely weak (current Formula 1 cars are a prime example). Like the signature sound of Ferrari, the Pagani has somewhat of a high-pitched…

I'll give the builder an "A" for vision and effort but IMO it's an abomination. The rear view simply screams rice. It has no appeal to me but to each their own. I wish the seller all the best.

I don't know about the whole point but F1 does take measures to slow down the cars on occasion. It seems somewhat counter to racing

I respect your opinion(s) but despite your self-professed "great taste" and your labored attempt to confuse opinion with fact your (biased) opinions are just that....nothing more nothing less. The one indisputable fact is beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

On one hand F1 talks about reducing costs for the teams and on the other hand they constantly impose changes that result in massive additional expenses. Evidently practicing what they preach isn't necessary so long as they keep raking-in the mega-millions for themselves.
