I was just thinking that! We were out on a boat with friends, and were pulling up to the party at Morris Island, right off Fort Sumter, in Charleston, and DNR had a 35 foot boat with twin 300 HP engines, going boat to boat, checking for underaged drinking. The guys both had M4s, a Sig on their hip, and had tactical…

Let's hope the pilot ejected safely...

Yes. This.

Lithium is preset number one in my wife's car.

Well, I think they just focused on different demographics. WMMR and Y-100 went after Gen X and the first of the Gen Y kids, whereas WYSP went more for kids a little older than that, focusing more on those that were in high school in the late eighties and early nineties. Of course, there was crossover...they both…

I lived in the Philly market from 2001 - 2012 (four years at Drexel, then a year in Mount Laurel, and a few in Cherry Hill), and WYSP never really caught on, with me. I think it's because they strayed too far into the Godsmack/Disturbed/Drowning Pool, then made that ridiculous shift to Free FM, then to the talk…

Central New Jersey used to have a radio station called WHTG, or FM 1063, and it played all nineties grunge and alternative. I can't tell you how many nights I spent, between fifth and eleventh grade, listening to everything from Nirvana to Mudhoney, Soundgarden to Alice in Chains, Veruca Salt to Sonic Youth.

It's not likely that the Commodore and Falcon will be the end of the series. More likely, they'll just start using the Camaro and Mustang, now that they're both (I think) headed for the Australian market.

The signals aren't just for the pilot, they're meant for the entire aircrew, including the air boss, who sits up in the tower and rearranges aircraft on the dummy board, constantly, and directs the crew on where and how to move the aircraft.

Are you saying that there is a significantly different alternate method to launch and trap aircraft from a pitching, yawing, floating ship? There's STOVL, but you still need a human to eventually untether and re-tether the tie-down straps.

You're assuming that robots are dexterous enough to do things like attaching tie-down straps to the aircraft, once it's parked, attach bombs to hard points, etc, etc, etc. Sure, it could happen, but it's unlikely we'll even be utilizing aircraft carriers, by that time. The other thing that you're assuming is that…

They'll still need people on the flight deck to do final checks of flight control surfaces, ensure the front landing gear is properly engaged with the shuttle of the catapult, to check for debris, and not the least of which, to signal the launch controller to press the big red button. The aircraft might end up with…

I went to a GM driving day in PA, back in like 2004. Corvettes, GTOs, SSRs, CTSs, and autocross courses for maximum hoonage. They didn't give a damn what you did with the cars, as long as you were keeping them on the course.

Yeah, I love the looks of the Mach 1 scoop under load. I thought about putting one on my 2006 GT, and they're relatively simple to install, but the hood on the 2006 just isn't right. It's too flat, and no one really offers an aftermarket hood that has the step-ups like the previous Mach 1 had.

My mom worked for the local power company in central New Jersey, and a pretty significant portion of NJ's power is generated in Ohio or western Pennsylvania. That said, just because it's generated there, doesn't mean it is used in NJ. The power companies have agreements in place to buy excess capacity from other…

Having moved to Mount Pleasant (just north of Charleston) about 20 months ago, I was very surprised that, given the Low Country's penchant for harsh storms and flooding, there were so few power outages in my area. We've blinked maybe, twice, in the time we've been here, and never gone out for more than a few seconds.

Cowl shake > gas mileage.

The funny thing about this vehicle is that Mercedes salespeople even make fun of it! When we were buying my wife's GLK350, a couple months ago, we were talking about the G-Wagen, and the sales guy was like - "Yeah, they're complete ridiculous. Mercedes builds a military truck, doesn't change it for thirty years,…

I beg to differ, at least on the previous generation...
