Low visibility and a poor understanding of the dimensions as well as its ground clearance. The driver managed a slightly aggressive start but its not like he/she had obscene amounts of wheel and fishtailed into the embankment. The driver just let the Countach get a little too far to the right then, before the driver…

Growing up, my parents and their parents were not exactly car people. Aside from my parents owning a couple '76ish Cougars (cars...not the ladies) when I was a year old or younger, the best thing my parents owned was an '88 Cougar XR-7 5.0L that my father never let my mother drive. Oddly enough, I remember the day my…

I had my left foot out the door frame of my jeep all of the time. Seeing as it was a 5 speed and my left leg was usually doing double duty as a wind catcher as well as a clutch manipulator it wasn't out the door constantly. Also, the PA climate had a thing with only permitting me to take the doors off 3 months out of…

I live in Ellwood City, PA just 35 or 40 miles north of Pittsburgh, PA.

I don't know if this is a typo, a cry for help, or utter seriousness in the midst of a life that could be mistaken for one big mean joke...but I am laughing.

That is exactly what I mean. This can be overly simplified and redirected into a "Huston gets screwed again" or "Obama is making blue states happy" debate all day long but when you boil down the simple and unbiased facts it tends to be the logical decision in destination.

Well it says in the article its going to the Science Center there because its getting its own purpose built building. I would say it has something to do with the fact that its a fairly large and highly visited Science Center which is ponying up the cash to give it its own building and/or its not far from the Jet…

I get it...he WAS ready for a home invasion. He had the money and chose to spend it on armed guards. That was his choice. That isn't the arguing factor though. What is up for debate is why they went as far as to invade his home as if he is Pablo Escabar sitting on 15 political hostages and a multi-ton stash of illegal…

WTF...

What the hell happened there? Quadruple post? Anyways...

While I am in the "I really dislike his music" crowd, I will defend him as a musician. Just a quick glance at his wiki page (because I really don't know much about the guy aside from not liking his music or taste in vehicular design) show that he plays keyboards, bass, clavinet, Fender Rhodes, drums, piano, moog bass.…

I don't mind these kinds of comments. That airport blows. California, the vacation spots in general, are full of mindless douchebags with too much money and not enough grey matter.

Native American, I assume. Funny none the less.

I was in Basic back in 2006. Ft. Knox's Basic Training has a full sim course for NBC weapons qualifications. They also did it for a few other weapons as well. I know for sure the M4/M16 rifle, Mk19 (paint), M2 .50 Cal., M203 (paint), and AT-4 (9mm conversion for training) qualifications, were all done live fire at the…

It can be fun. I remember some guy going down with heat stroke who ended up having to be put back in the class graduating a week or two behind us. He pretty much passed out and puked in his mask. Those few seconds of vomit instead of oxygen didn't help him much.

We did just about the same thing in the Army basic when we were trained to use our NBC gear. These lucky bastards don't have the full suits on. I had the luck of hitting basic training in August/September/October and managed to hit all the fun on the hottest days in Ft. Knox. Dressing up to MOPP Level 4 (full dress,…

Thankfully, you are right. But what happens when that day comes? I was just pointing it out because, even with it being legal here in PA, cops outside the state still do it.

I think all of this BS is funny. Don't get me wrong, texting while driving is dangerous but I have not seen a cop around the western PA area not talking on his cell while driving. Literally, every damn police officer I have seen operating a police cruiser is attached to his cell phone. I don't enjoy a policing force…
