I hate that the US market is like this. We love our TourX. Its almost unstoppable in the snow. Gets great mileage. Its way faster and more comfortable on the interstate than an SUV. 

dont care, still watching it. 

Looking at snatching one of the last of these up. They ride just so well

I just moved back from Japan. In my prefecture the highest legal speed was 80 km/h. Thats like 49. It was maddening. In my current city, 65 is the legal speed on the primary interstates, you’ll get rear ended by a Semi unless you do 75. I feel safer driving 75, moving with the flow of traffic than I did going 50. Set…

hnnnng makes me happy

I’m a pilot I can...follow regs. FAA regulations stipulate a 500' clearance from buildings and structures in uncongested areas. Here is the excerpt from the FAR/AIM part 91.119:

One shade of sadness is sitting in traffic with all these little crap boxs listening to their little 3cyls wheeze back to life when the light turns green and everyone looks up from their TV screens in the dash. While cute, these will get absolutely annihilated in the USA outside of the most congested traffic. If they…

I’m in the same boat. I feel like the technology is/has matured to the point that we aren’t making the quantum leaps we used to. I went from NES to N-64 to Gamecube to XBox to 360. Each of those was just orders of magnitude more powerful. Game went from side scroll to 3d to good 3d. My XBox 1X (that name though) is…

The Chinese Gov has contracted this plane’s development. Even if it is used as a search and rescue aircraft who do you think will fly it? The PRC Peace Corps? It’ll be the PLAN or PLAAF or PLAPFCG (people liberation armed police force coast guard) flying these things. Is that bad? No. It would be silly for a nation…

I knew they’d go for something like this. The HMMWVs are too fat and old, the JLTV is also gigantic.Gotta have something that doesn’t take a Semi truck to deploy. Not being a military design from ground up wont be a big issue, we had a FOrd econoline in afghanistan that was the squadron vehicle for like 5 years.

We are all probably going to get it. I’d rather get it in a functioning country than in one that is collapsing because no one is able to make money or provide services. Its going to be around for a while, you can’t hole up in your home forever. 

I moved to Japan three years ago. They were already doing this back then. Most developed asian countries already do this and have been for a while. 

Tidy lines and sloppy sheet metal

no-knock raids are a farce made all the worse by police departments who have followed a course of militarization started by all the post-9/11 anti-terrorism money. You’re the police, you’re supposed to help protect people. Let the military be the military and let yourselves be public safety officers again.

Just gunna channel my inner Owen Wilson. Oh, wooooow.

That sucks. People are going to react like stupid pack animals when they find something out about a person that deviates from what is considered the norm. That’s not right, but it’s something that should be taken into account until it changes. 

Someone needs to give those poor FJ70s a loving home. All they’ve ever known is war. I volunteer. 

I live in what is essentially a US enclave in a foreign country, we have our own grocery store, walmart style store, convenience store for late night workers, etc... None of these issues have popped up here, people have continued their same consumer habits with just adding more produce for at home meals since we can’t…

I dont see the issue...
