If you think a minor traffic infraction remotely justifies attempted murder: Fuck You.

For one thing, it’s a shithole. However it’s also currently the most stable, least batshit crazy government in the region, which should give you some idea about the neighborhood.

Hah! You have given me another sink in which to pour my free time. A lot of reading awaits. Also, yes, Saab driver. And btw, also labcoat wearer in daily work. Coincidence?

A téméraire-class 74 gun third-rate was destroyed for economical reasons as well after WWII by the RN.
Imagine that, getting captured from the French in the Napoleonic Wars, surviving all those years including all the aerial attacks of WWII (Unlike HMS Wellesley who did get hit by bombardments) just to have the RN…

Eh, we are a young nation, and thus are enamored with recent history.

Yeah but...it’s wood!! From a country whose legacy of naval innovation went far into this century, it’s plain galling that their last surviving naval world-beater is a leftover from the fight against Napoleon rather than one which helped bring down Hitler. I am slightly channelling James May and his bemoaning of…

Yup, and I’ve visited it; in fact I diverted a family vacation so I could tour that great ship. I will quibble with “last dreadnought”; it is definitely the oldest US battleship afloat, but I’d still consider the newer battleships as “dreadnoughts”, even if they also fall under the “fast battleship” classification.

Fascinating. Kinda sad, too.

Ever since I started looking for battleships to visit, I was blown away by the fact that the US is the only country in the world who has kept any surviving dreadnought battleships as museums. I mean, I can understand why Germany (High Seas Fleet scuttling + Tirpitz and Bismarck not surviving the war) and Japan (entire…

Always liked old mercs. I had a 65 comet caliente.

If I can control the horrible axle hop next event, I can even get over 3000RPM on the course! That was her first outing, and she’s been tweaked a bit since.

Slightly creepy to see my Facebook pictures out in the wild ;).

A Hero 3 in 1080 60fps. And 60’s era suspension makes for the cushiest (if not very competitive) ride you’ll ever have at rallycross.

:O I made Jalopnik?! Very cool, thanks for the love! Here’s a few pictures, too.

Thanks. That car is awesome and very tough looking and not super modified and wierd looking.

I had a 72 Olds. This man is a hero.

Why is a guy named Suzuki in charge at Honda? The jokes around the office must be fantastic.

Meanwhile, Harley Davidson will be debuting their onboard computer at next year’s Progressive Motorcycle Show.

India to Germany is like Mexico to the USA. Bosch for example has *Armies* of Indians doing all the bullshit gruntwork that would be too expensive to do in Germany or that the Germans don’t want to do. While you are not wrong in your statements - I think you’d be surprised how much German “Engineering” is actually an…
