And that’s the real problem. It’s one thing to beat another drive out on track, quite another to have the governing body favor one driver over another. Can anyone say Jean-Marie Balestre.

It happened a lot sooner than that. As soon as F1 went from 1.5 to 3.0 litre cars back in the 1960s they were already exceeding the safe limits of the tracks they were on. And Can Am cars were absolutely ridiculous(1,000+ HP) by the early 1970s.

Where’s your shotgun when you need it. Very hard to drive that pickup very far with a flat tire or two.

Write a check with enough zeros and I bet Ferrari will build you damn near anything. Car and Driver had a story years ago of all the custom cars they built for the Sultan of Brunei.

I don’t know what may or may not have happened before the video. Regardless, motorcycles almost always end up on the short side of the stick in any altercation involving a car or truck. They simply don’t see us and there’s not really a deterrent when something really goes wrong. I suggest allowing motorcycles being…

I’d suggest that the time to be looking for a car is during or after the end of the previous season. Dallara would have gladly made Grace Autosport a car for 2016 if they’d ordered one. You can’t simply count on an extra car being available on the cheap right before the biggest race of the year.

Does anyone actually believe this reporter personally paid for that dinner? It was either paid for by his newspaper or deducted as a business expense on his outside income.

Can I suggest talking to Hayley Atwell about joining in. She just lost her job on Agent Carter and could use the exposure.

Times have changed. We thought it was funny when 2 classmates showed up on both sides of our class pic. The slow moving, long exposure camera allowed them to run around and get included on the other end of the pic.

That’s a C-17. A large plane in its own right but dwarfed by the C-5. Notice the winglets and very far forward engines.

I had a 2nd Gen RX-7 and NEVER had problem one with the engine. It’s true that it’s not a torque monster but then it was a VERY small motor. I think they’ve actually made a lot of improvements since the motor was last in production. As long as they can meet the emissions standards they ought to put it into a Halo car…

There’s only one real solution to end this BS once and for all, appoint an A-10 pilot as head of the Air Force, both uniform and civilian heads. I’m sure there are plenty of retired A-10 pilots to choose from for the civilian role.

It may be cheaper to purchase than an F-15E but it’s not as cheaper to buy or own as a F-16. And as far as capability, Tyler recently pointed out that precision weapon pods are an area where the Russians are really lacking. So it’s mainly dumb bombs are very expensive missiles for payload. Jordan is a poor country,…

It’s an interesting idea but I think you’d have to be really careful about it. Part of their income stream is servicing your car and getting it ready for sale. That’s something that could get out of hand pretty quickly. Also, most people are going to need their vehicle for daily use until they get another one and…

Of course our carriers don’t just sit still, they’re constantly on the move and can transit considerable distance within a day or so. They and their support ships also have considerable ability to defend themselves. And we’ve got more assets in the Gulf than you may realize. We take the threat of swarm small boat…

Our premier electronic warfare attack asset, the F-18G Growler, is already on the carrier in the Gulf. Other assets can be deployed in hours and days, not weeks or months. Don’t forget, we already have assets deployed and in use in Syria. We would be responding to an Iranian attack, not initiating a first strike…

Like I said, I think an Israeli attack on Iran is VERY unlikely.

I’m not saying that Iran doesn’t have the ability to attack US interests, whether that’s a ship or a base, etc. I’m simply saying that Iran probably understands that it’s not a Superpower. Attacking the US directly would require a direct response and the US does actually have the ability to penetrate and destroy any…

As you say, it’s really up to Iran whether the US would be brought in to such a conflict. I think the Iranians understand that directly attacking the US would guarantee US retaliation in force. Now a terrorist attack or two, that I could see, plausible deniability. I don’t think the Iranians would want to take on the…

I don’t believe Israel could deliver a crippling blow to Iran’s nuclear program even with bunker busting bombs. First, it wouldn’t be a surprise. The Iranians have anticipated such an attack for years. They’ve designed their program specifically to be hard to detect, reach and even destroy. I doubt we truly know the…
