I thought the Fusion Sport was getting the GTK rear diff system from the Focus RS...? so, normally FWD biased with the ability to kick it to as much as 70% rear on-demand.

rumors say all US-bound RS’s are sold out through the 2017 delivery year.

I actually don’t dislike LeBlanc at all, he’s a pretty good fit for the purpose, actually. Evans on the other hand is just annoying and grating... And those glasses... Geeze... I mean, I wear glasses, but PLEASE get something that fits your face rather than tries too hard to be trendy five years ago.

Things required for Flat Track:

This game is (in theory) everything I have ever wanted from a space exploration game that takes advantage of modern computing/console power... delay or no, my mantra is still: Pleasebegood, pleasebegood, ohGodpleasebegood!

As the owner of a FieSTa I approve this comment. The driveline and suspension are FANTASTIC (absolutely fan-fucking-tastic). But after 36K miles on Vermont roads the interior squeaks and rattles quite a bit more than I’d like, and the chrome has peeled off the center-console cup-holder trim rings. My 2011 Hyundai…

As a responsible motorcyclist who has been called a hooligan (and worse) and SPIT ON by town officials as a result of “guilt by class” (motorcycle rider) association with the garbage human beings who do this sort of shit with no respect for the law or, perhaps even more importantly, OTHER PEOPLE, I approve of this…

yeah, what I really mean to say is; those aircraft are, in general, no less safe than anything flown by Western airlines, and possibly safer when it comes to hours flown between incidents.

Soviet Era airliners were built tough to handle un-improved runways, underequipped facilities, and crappy fuel. The IL-62 has a generally stellar saftey record, with the majority of incidents attributable to human error.

Interesting Note: Most of those Soviet era Ilyushins and Tupolevs have stellar safety records. They were built tough, with un-improved runways and defered maintenance factored in. They don’t have much automation, so flight crews certified to fly them have to actually know what the hell they are doing (not that you…

These are always great horrible.

Thanks for the link, bookmarked.

No, I mean when you could actually LEARN things from watching Discovery. It’s really distressing that theres now a whole generation of soon-to-be/recent adults who have only ever been exposed to Reality TV Discovery...

Man, remember when Discovey had actual educational/informative programming? I’m old.

lets be clear here, any engine can be a 300K mile engine (My Alfa Romeo 164-S with the 3.0 12v V6 had over 400K on it when I sold it... having had impeccable maintenance, regular timing belt changes, new head gaskets, several water pumps, major overhaul of the external oil/coolant piping, new Idle air valve, fuel…

What was the hardest to kill?

I never touched a single thing on the engine of my 3800-powered LeSabre for a bit over 300K miles, Then the trans self-destructed. It ran perfectly.
