No airframe issues, yes it has fired its gun, the avionics are what the 2012 re baseline said they would be, it has already fired our two most advanced A2A missiles, oxygen you’re thinking of the F-22, no it has the exact weapons planed for this date, the ACM abilities are better than an F-16 all day long and it…

My opinion is based on an understanding of the difference between modeling and empirical results.

The opinion of Tyler on military blogs written by people that actually were, or are, in the military is very, very low.

I realize that you are on Jalopnik and probably get you information from various blogs of similar caliber. I’m not going to judge. Even normal media outlets will quote those blogs because its an easy revenue generator. You guys don’t realize that people like Tyler, a guy with a background in restaurants who liked…

Somehow it’s been twisted into meaning that in the general populace, but the goal of golf is to score less.

The only thing fly testing them would achieve is people then spastically freaking out about a Typhoon out-turning it while totally misunderstanding the future of air combat - let alone combat in the digital age.

GET YOUR FACTS OUT OF HERE! THIS IS AN F-35 DISCUSSION ON JALOPNIK, THEY HAVE NO PLACE HERE!

Yes, it is under par relative to previous gen planes.

Shit, they could paid this fucking zoo and peanut galleries that compose the core of FA commenters a fraction of what they’d paid these “experts” and probably would’ve been twice as entertaining, lol

selling it is one thing. getting people to buy it is completely different.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to outfit each Abrams tank with a Duck Dynasty dude?

It’s like an endless game of whack-a-mole, except the moles are boners

Nice E28 tho

Honestly the groups “People that can afford a new BMW” and “People who want to drive stick” tend not to overlap here in the US.

I’m sure all ZERO people here who would buy one of these new are totally sad.

BMW “killed it” and we “let it die”?

Yes! It’s not like they wrecked 11 of the remaining McLaren F1's. Yes, it’s sad to see beautiful things broken, but these guys didn’t do it to anything super rare or irreplaceable.

This is my first Audi so I don’t really know if it’s any more reliable than the D3. I’ve only had a few warranty repairs over my few years of ownership, but I’m still going to replace the car when it goes off warranty just for the convenience. It would definitely cost way less to maintain the car I have than to endure…

If you’re going to be commuting on the freeway definitely get an A8 with the driver assistance package. The radar cruise control is awesome and even works in stop and go traffic. Between that and the massage seats, freeway driving is effortless.
