I think I might be the only person to have clicked on the link thinking it was a reference to that very un PC Teddy Bear.

Yeah I know, the point I was trying to make was that there are two platforms doing the same job. The Z model is a fairly new airframe and yes I get that they already have some parts and training commonality but the military still has two airframes doing essentially the same job. The Osprey is another perfect example.…

I would actually say that DARPA is the most forward thinking with bat shit crazy ideas that they somehow magically make into reality. If the Navy gets this, then yes you are probably right, the Army and Air Force are going to want a completely different version of it in order to do the exact same job. Hence why the…

Yeah I don´t think underestimating China would be in our best interest. I would much rather treat them like we did the Soviet Union and overestimate their capabilities. Our biggest problem is that we need to project our power globally, China for the moment is only interested in projecting power in their own back yard.…

The Liaoning might be used to build experience, but I don’t really see the Chinese with the ability to field an indigenously designed and produced CATOBAR Carrier. So They might just build larger versions of the Liaoning maybe? I also have my doubts about how effective the J-31 and J-20 aircraft will be. The Chinese…

It’s not a supercar, but I hear the Viper will on ocassion want to rip your head off and shit down your neck just for the fun of it.

Personally I can’t get my head around RWB. They just don’t do it for me, too gaudy. Singer though, without a doubt is N° 1, at least in my book..

The S was insanely limited edition, very very few were made. The 993 being the last air cooled 911 also kind of makes up for part of the price gouging. The real bat shit crazy car in the 993 range besides the GT2, was the slant nose S Turbo.

I am going to take a shot at answering this one completely out of conjecture. I would guess it is a trade off, I would imagine the Su-33 is capable of carrying more fuel than the Mig-29k.. This would mean significantly greater range, no? How much better performance wise is the Mig in this scenario anyway? I think the…

Yeah but if they are going to be going striker fired this time around they might as well go VP9. I have seen the HK mag releases break under “torture testing” though so that might be an issue.

Yeah unfortunately the Russian’s upped their missile game. Back then their missles might have been faster than the Blackbird, but I think the difference between them was not enough to make up for the altitude and speed of the Blackbird. We know for sure that it wasn’t exactly outmanuevering the incoming missile. Today…

This is my new screen saver at home. I posted the same engine but this one looks sooo much better.

Honestly I think it is because people might think it is the obvious choice. Frankly I don’t care, I posted it somewhere here as well. This is and will always be my favorite V12. The sound oh God the sound!!!!!

Because it just sounded oh so damned good.

Don’t forget that they are also the primary exporter of weaponry to almost all of our adversaries. So I wouldn’t be too surprised if one of their hypersonic anti ship missles ended up in the hands of Iran.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just bypass the neutral switch? I mean I daily a beater. A 92 Buick Century with a 3.1 LHO V6. It has over 500.000 km on it at the moment. I also had this issue with the Neutral Switch. Bypassed that sucker and now it starts in all gears. Eliminate it and call it a day.

I really don’t think this would be the best thing to ask for. The Tata Nano is rear engined, rear wheel drive. But it most definitely is not a hoon machine.

Yes, yes it was. I couldn’t stop laughing when I read that article.

I seem to recall a story here on Jalopnik about how a certain journalist had a certain mishap while driving a press car. Thankfully the jeans of said journalist stopped this incident from permeating into the cars leather seats, but I would still steer clear of press cars when buying “new”.

Dude, talk about anger issues.
