Some of the newer beers out, like Tactical Nuclear Penguin, are extremely high ABV, and would actually fuel the fire!

Every beer has its place, including the cheap macro swill. You can't drink Stone IPA all day long and expect to have money left in your pockets and a blood alcohol level below 0.2!

Because V12. If you have to ask, you'll never know.

And $1.3 million nets what, to the unemployed? 37 cents?

I came here to post roughly the same thing. Gawker likes to sensationalize to get page clicks, so what do you expect? For all the knowledge about racing and cars, around here, it's like no one understands how a damn airplane works.

It's just the Gawker page-click bug. Don't mind them.

The ten best rest stops, and no Wawa?

I've been to Sheetz plenty of times, and it doesn't compare to Wawa. Wawa is like a shining beacon of hope when you're driving up and down I-95. Sheetz is just...meh.

To be fair, Ecoboost was originally supposed to be called Twin Force, but then the whole BS green movement started, and Ford had to rebrand.

Fuck if I know. I doubt they'd fit into a freaking 747!

Balls. This man had them.

The website Warbirds Express has a pretty comprehensive summary of Capt. Overstreet's life and military career. Born in Clifton Forge, Virginia in 1921, Overstreet was a student at what is now the University of Charleston in South Carolina when Pearl Harbor was attacked. He enlisted in the Army with the goal of…

Where do you live? In NJ, where I grew up, if the emissions issue that was causing you to not pass inspection would cost more than some predetermined amount to fix, you didn't have to fix it. I want to say that the state set the threshold at like $600, so perhaps you're in the clear.

Much of the mass comes from the heavy duty armor needed to fend off mine attacks. I'm very surprised that they'd use such a small engine with low output in this application, but it's likely that there's some incentive to using a 'green' or 'low-emissions' powertrain, and the contractors are trying to meet the goals…

Like someone else said, they're just too big. While MRAP refers to many different vehicles, most of them are more than double this vehicle's slated size, both in terms of length and mass. A small counter-insurgency team can't very well roll up into the middle of an Afghani neighborhood to take out a clutch of…

The Challenger and Charger might be way too big and way too heavy, but they look great and are not THAT expensive, compared to the much smaller Mustang. I've been wanting to get something new to replace my 06' GT, and with a kid, and possibly another in the future, I was thinking Charger, then saw the SS, then saw…

I agree, to a certain point, but when you're rowing your own, you're much more likely to know what gear you're in, simply because you put the gearshift in that position. In an automatic, you shift from Park to Drive, and that's it.

Don't be a dick?

Yeah, that is an issue! I'm 6'2", and I've always got the seat all the way back. It's a good thing we only have one kid, because if I had to put a car seat behind me, I'd be completely screwed!

It matters in that the greater number of gears, the harder it becomes to manage in your head. Four, five, six gears is one thing, especially given that it's unlikely that you'll use first and sixth often, but when you've got seven, eight, ten gears, it's unwieldy.
