Most of the money goes to military bases and DHS. 

Mos to the money goes to the many, many military bases in Texas.

It is the same POC’s who shoot each other on weekends. 

Wranglers are great to drive to the mountains then down Forest Service Roads and less demanding “Jeep trails’ to go fly fishing.  And, the are handy around town. 

Years ago I competed in drag racing, TSD rally and gynkhana, so it would be one those. Probably the one of the ones at Houston Drag Raceway where I hung out with Don Garlits, Shirley Muldowney, et al.  “Back in the day” there were only two classes of people at the drags:  Competitors and Spectators.  The hot AA fuel…

The small overlap crash test would have a much different result if the SUV crashed into a Prius rather that an solid, fixed barrier.

Air suspension is a marketing gimmick that makes cars less reliable.  Relatively simple load-leveling air bags accomplish 90% of what full air suspension does and failure is no big deal.

Only in CA. It TX the stand-your-ground law would make it legal for the car driver use deadly force (shoot to kill) to stop the tow truck driver.

My understanding is that US ICE cars and trucks emit 0.18% of global CO(2) emissions.  Because of the uncertainties in measuring global CO(2) emissions, 0.18% is actually a rounding error magnitude. 

There is a tire sealant that works, OKO from Britain.  It is used in garbage trucks and school buses and some OTR trucks.  The problem is that it has a 75 MPH speed limit...which means it is fine for my 4WD F150 but not a Porsche 911. 

It is not a 31,000 mile road trip. It is a score of road trips of few hundred to a thousand miles each interspersed with a few ocean voyages. They are not going where no one has gone before and they are not going there in vehicles no one has ever used before.

With its small fuel tank and poor fuel economy customers who get too “adventurous” will be walking home.

Anyone who can afford one of these can afford to have new parts made if Porsche will send engineering specs. Anyone who can built 300 mph top fuel dragsters or LSR cars or even NASCAR cars can build Porsche suspension bits. Jay Leno has probably already built new bits for his car from analyzing the old bits.

Is wrapping now a kind of tuning? OK. SUV roo bars where there have never been roos and that are much too flimsy to be anti-roo anyway. 

Back when “stock” cars were actually mostly stock cars.

1947 b00mer here. It has been a lifetime of mostly 4WD because of hunting and fishing. But of the ordinary cars that I have owned the two I would like back are the 1964 Pontiac GTO and the 1969 Jaguar XKE 4.2 fixed head coupe. The Benz 450SL was nice for long trips and around town but is not very interesting. My 300D…

Interesting rigs but I prefer a small trailer so my truck is available for use without packing up.  Or, just a big regular tent on the ground.  I think the Aussies made these popular because there are so many poisonous bugs and snakes, e.g. the common death adder.

100% correct. It is to keep the bridge working as a pedestrian thoroughfare rather than let it be blocked by F1 spectators.
