I am by no means an expert in Middle Eastern policy, but wouldn’t Jordan be more at risk from Iran than from Saudi Arabia? I know that the whole Sunni, Shia thing is what gets the blood boiling between the Iranians and the Saudis, but I don’t see why Jordan would fear any of its neighbors besides Iran.

Well I would normally say goodbye and it was fun while it lasted, but who am I kidding, I will follow your writting wherever you go. Congratulations on the new gig. The only bad thing will be having to register on a new site, and reading Alex Roy without whose humor is not for me. Oh well, see you on TheDrive.com in a…

Reliability is in the eye of the beholder. If the majority of LR owners change their trusted steed out for a newer model every two years or so, then LR only needs to make the car reliable for said amount of time. LR is only really interested in the uber wealthy that look at their automobiles more as a status symbols…

I am going to go out on a limb and say that if someone out there puts slicks on their Camaro and grenade their engine due to oil starvation from high G loads. That in this particular case, GM will not cover this under warranty.

I must disagree, I have over 400k on my 3.1 and I still haven´t killed it. Well that is not entirely true. I did have half the engine rebuilt at around 100k due to the timing chain jumping and destroying half of the engine, then at around 200k all new everything, because wrings were shot to hell and why not. Then it…

I read the being more expensive than the F-35 and I did a double take. I did some googling and it turns out that the Rafale is a lot more expensive than the F-35. All of this according to google of course. almost a 3 to 1 difference. Economy of Scale more than likely. If the Rafale had the projected production numbers…

I would agree with the A-10 being “ugly” but the Su-34 is just weird looking in my opinion. When you look at it from far away it looks okay. If you look at Russian aircraft up close, all of the rivets and panel gaps make them look shody. I do like how the Flankers look though.

Actually some of their tech is actually four decades old if not older.

Singer is in my all time top 5, For the moment the list is as follows; a Ford GT, a Ferrari F50, a Mclaren F1, a Singer 911 and an E39 M5 as a daily. What do they all have in common, they are drivers (except the F1). I am not a race car driver so the Dual Clutch for that extra tenth is not something that I want or…

You sir, own an absolutely gorgeous automobile.

It all boils down to not being able to make the LS7 emissions compliant. They wanted a big bore small block for the Z06, but they just couldn’t get one to be clean enough to make it pass smog standards in all 50 states.

I might be mistaken but I don’t think the GS would weight more than the Z06. I believe that despite the weight saving attempts by GM with all of the carbon fiber pieces on the Z06, it is still heavier than the standard Stingray due to being supercharged and all of the added cooling components. I could be wrong though.

Thank you for you have helped me swear off Oreo cookies. I was in the middle of chewing when I saw this. I almost spit the cookies all over my computer.

That is exactly my point with regards to the SVD that the Russians seem to think makes their carpet bombing pin point accurate. I remember reading how during WW2 on many occasions it would take days and days of bombing just to be able to hit a particular factory, while virtually laying waste to everything around said…

I figure that the SVP is probably more akin to a Norden Bombsight that anything else. I got into an argument with a Russian on twitter about how they were carpet bombing cities in Syria as well as the use of cluster bombs. I got whataboutism about Dresden Germany during WWII. When I pointed out that they were…

Part of the reason that they were so expensive to build was that they were supposed to build around 132. They put the money into R&D and then they decided they would only build 21. I am going to go out on a limb and say that had they built the intended amount of airframes the actual unit cost would have been much…

LOL that sounds about right. FYI I thought the fire extinguisher stunt was pure genius. Just thinking of it made me laugh. I just wanted to rant about how upside down things are today. I apologize if I sounded like I was implying that you were being disrespectful to the teachers or something of the sort.

I don’t know how old you are. I am 35 and in my day a suspension was grounds for getting my ass whopped at home. Today, well today it seems more likely to get the principal or the teacher yelled at by the parents for having the nerve to punish their child for behaving badly. IMHO times have changed with regards to…

Unfortunately for me, I cannot unsee this. LMAO!

Yes, this is true. This was also the case during the cold war. My point was focused on the idea that at the peak of the cold war, due to the Soviet Unions Ghost Army, the U.S. built up its armed forces enough, to in theory be able to get into a conventional war with the rest of the world and soundly defeat them. At…
