There would also be no battery to run the keyless entry system. Your PCM would have to relearn the engine and transmission every time you started the car.

I reckon you’re taking the piss out of this convo with that blue argie-bargie. Don’t try that cracker pozzy to come at us ‘mericans. Have a ripper arvo, though!

This article was completely unreadable, simply because of the bullshit RTR meanings. I’m now reminded why I skip every Torch article I see.

There is a pocket of weirdos that root for the Jets in Ocean County. We do not speak of Ocean County.

Damn, the website won’t load. The BENNYS GO HOME car was like an old Dodge pleasure yacht that was spray painted all over, and had one of the turtle sandboxes on the roof. There were various incarnations throughout the years, but it was mostly localized to the Belmar/Spring Lake/Manasquan/Wall area.

It’s been 16 years since I lived in Monmouth County full time. I wonder if the BENNYS GO HOME car is still running around with a turtle baby pool on the room.

I promise you, we’re not all bad. I’ve attended at least a dozen Cars and Coffee events with it, and never once eaten a bystander or crashed into a guardrail. At my C&C, it’s actually the sport bike guys that are the worst. I’ve seen at least three bikes laid down trying to do a burnout or a wheelie from the lot.

Ehh, my family all moved to Monmouth County from the North Jersey suburbs post-War. Not a one of them say ‘down the shore’. It’s the stupidest saying I could think of, even worse than ‘Joisey’.

But again, even if you were able to get manning levels down to the same level as a DDG, you’d still have a TREMENDOUS cost to acquire the ships. DDG-1000 cost over $4b, and would be a quarter of the size of a BBG ship class. Even if you used all off-the-shelf components that had been developed for DDG-1000 and the…

Yeah, that’s where I’m at. This is why I don’t comment much on FA anymore, and would rather spend my time over on The War Zone. Tyler’s articles (even though he HATES concurrency and F-35) are typically much better researched, and the commentariat actually has half a clue what they’re talking about (minus the Putin…

Edison is definitely North Jersey. For one, it’s north of the Driscoll Bridge. Secondly, it’s a completely different vibe than even Hazlet, which is just a few miles south.

You’re right, but when the people are in the middle of an ocean, with no outside influencers (and remember, these are people that are serving their country, have security clearances, are trained in what to do and not to do) it’s much, much more difficult to phish or otherwise infiltrate a network. I’m not saying it…

It’s an attitude thing. Point is a beach town, very Central Jersey-ish, and Brick feels like I’m driving through Bordentown or Cherry Hill.

And people in North Jersey are just as wrong as the people from South Jersey that say the opposite.

Most people down here would just go around on the shoulder!

That’s not correct, at all. Insurance is NOT a requirement in SC, though you do have to pay a ‘fine’ to the state if you choose to forego insurance. Insurance may have been state regulated back in the 80s, but rates are just fine, now. My 2016 Mustang GT costs me about $1400 a year for full coverage.

Well, welcome to NJ. Try to keep up, or you will be killed and eaten.

You mean BENNYs and Shoobies?

I don’t really need to, I’m living it. The Navy cares about the cost of its toys, big or small, and cut tremendous amounts of ‘stuff’ out of the LCS, DDG-1000, CVN(X), CG(X), etc, etc, etc. It wants things, it just can’t afford them. The bureaucracy is a bigger issue than the actual hardware, itself, and…

Please. Convince someone to send Wawa to Charleston, SC. There are plenty of folks here, just like in Florida, that would appreciate it. The convenience stores down here are straight garbage, and it’s affluent enough that you could stick one on every damn corner and still make money.
