The best part about the joke is that the guy who put Raphael on blast for his “poorly researched post” changed his kinja name and avatar. He has an orange M4 and also hails from Texas... Coincidence? Maybe, but I’d like to think he was the analog gauge user and “a mistake was made” victim. http://jalopnik.com/the-only-…

Sweet. I sidestepped your reply because its a waste of my time and yours. Its a Friday night, go have some fun. Unless you find blogging about racial issues fun, which in that case I would say you have bigger issues.

Sorry, but that reply was just grammatically horrid. Suffice it to say we probably don’t see eye to eye on this issue and likely never will. I genuinely hope you have a nice evening.

That’s not what I said nor implied. I simply stated that all things being equal GPA, standardized test scores, extra curriculars, etc. being black gives you an advantage in college admissions, which is wrong. I’m well aware that minorities can make it into college on their own merit, which is why factoring in race is…

Sorry my original comment might have been a little harsh lol... But it was indeed fun at P&M. In a twist of irony I now work for the company that builds the new Ford GT (not Ford). I really like EE too, radars fascinate me to no end.

I worked for Pratt and Miller (company that runs Corvette Racing) during college as part of a work-study program. Non of the electronics on these cars has anything to do with GM, not that it really matters as electronics played no part in this crash. A piece of debris got caught in the mechanical throttle-return…

You sir, are what we in the business call an idiot.

That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say. Where I went to college being black gets you an automatic 20 points out of a possible 150 on the admissions point scale. Getting a perfect score on the SAT gets you 12... I think that’s wrong but then again my friend from high school/roommate would not have gotten in without it…

I completely agree. At the same time I think getting into college or getting a job based on your race is wrong whether you faked it or not.

Thanks, always wondered why they chose 767 over 777 or 787 but had never thought about that. Do you know if there are any plans for 767 based replacements for the E-3 and E-8?

As to your first sentence, you’re right. She likely used her pretend “blackness” to get easier admissions to college, a job with the NAACP, and a job teaching a bullshit class with lectures about fucking hair. Things available to all black women real or imaginary.

Wow, black people must be super pissed she used her made up ethnicity to get into college, get a job, and be able to teach a bullshit course on fucking hair. You know, things they get to do by playing the race card.

Other than budget issues, is there any reason the USAF hasn’t made the switch from 707 based aircraft? Seems like they are so many great airplanes in the commercial sector that could replace them with greater range, speed, and efficiency.

or that I would buy a Cadillac because its the best driving car of the bunch...

I'm pissed I can't star this more than once.

This is the same country that can’t even build its own jet engines... I have friends and family spread throughout the DOD and they’ve told me the DF-21 is not a operationally relevant weapon system at this time. Considering one person who told me this works for the DIA I tend to believe his analysis over publicly…

I’ve dreamed about getting a 6spd V6 RS with ZL1/1LE suspension and brakes and tuning the motor for premium and make it rev to the moon and back. Theres very little aftermarket performance to be had with the LFX however, mostly due to the exhaust manifold being incorporated into the heads.

More amazingly it does it with port injection.

I hear you but if LS has cost, weight, size, center of gravity, rotational inertia, torque, and in most cases power advantages, I’m probably going to stick with the SBC...
