I’d rather destroy a *comparatively mass produced 115 million dollar plane than a one off 290 million dollar satellite.

Since we’re talking torpedoes, I’m pretty sure 3,300 feet is referring to sea level. Last time I checked, we weren’t building fallout shelters or bunkers underwater.

Except that’s a Bugatti Veyron

Remember, he's the same guy that also co-produced Fringe & Season 1 of Sleepy Hollow, so he's not all bad.

What do you mean “boo”? The new movies are by far the most successful at reaching the mainstream. Without the new movies, a new Star Trek TV show would NEVER happen.

Bugatti Veyron. Show it to pretty much any “regular” person and they’ll be all, “ooh, how cool!” But if you take a good look at it it’s actually kind of grotesque looking.

Man. I’m actually talking to a friend right now about John Carter of Mars. It hurts me so much that we won’t have a sequel. I guess, with each passing director having a completely different vision of what the movie be, ballooning costs were going to be inevitable. It’s a shame. It’s not a bad movie as everyone makes…

I daily drove a late 90s Volkswagen for 14 consecutive years without ever being left stranded once. Wolfsburg had a whole team of technicians trying to figure out how that was possible.

maybe because if it was an RV they’d know he was living in there but this way it just seems like a box truck. I’m just guessing though

But, what will you do for batteries? They do fail eventually.

Hopefully when it comes, I’ll have an electric car and can charge it from solar-power supercharger stations! They do currently or will be powered from on-site solar instead of the grid, so at least for a while until they fall into disrepair, they’ll be a good way to recharge. No need to pump get and no need to find…

Excellent question.

It’s funny that car companies can actually kill their customers through negligence and not face any serious consequences but if you try to get around an emissions regulation it’s going to lead to probable criminal prosecution. This is the world we live in.

I initially feared exactly the same when I read the article, but as on several other recent occasions I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the intelligent level of discourse. Jalopnik and its affiliate blogs really are an oasis of rationality in the Gawker wasteland.

Heavily biased article, and one that doesn’t accurately represent where those politicians stand on those policies. For abortion, yeah, they want to stop killing babies. They believe the life of a baby supersedes the right of the mother when she is deciding to have sex. Most people on that stage suggest that you limit…

I disagree, and hereby submit “We Built This City On Rock & Roll” as the worst song ever.

The breaks after kicks need to die. Especially kick offs. Score points, break, kick off, break, immediate turnover, break, Cleatus murders everyone in the stands, break, watching Jim Tomsula go back to his old job of cleaning up dead bodies, break, watching Jim keep his spoon in his soup, break.

Gee its almost like football is a sport with a lot of physical contact and violence and if it were played like soccer or rugby everyone would be dead at the end.

yep, they’ve known about it for 4 years, not because the FAA found it, but because GE did. GE told Boeing and the FAA and an AD was issued to all Airlines. the airlines have also known about it, and have had an AD for 4 years requiring added inspections of the parts in question (knife seals). if they weren’t doing the…
