Im starting to feel like a broken record with all these Flex recommendations. But still, when the shoe fits... 79" from back door to back of front seats with front seats all the way back, 41" between the wheel wells, completely flat power folding first and second row, cooled seats to keep her from overheating in…
I was up in Paktia for the first year I was there. The ANA were actually great to deal with where I was. The 203rd ANA Corps commander was the only Afghan to graduate from the US Army War College and he had his ship run tight. The officers under him were competent, the soldiers did their jobs (with a crapton of…
I met a lot of good Afghans. It is not outlandish to think they could achieve a level of decency. It is impossible though for that to happen on the path we put them on.
This is exactly what I went through in Afghanistan. I fought endlessly with the police and highway patrol. It got so bad with the highway patrol that they were disbanded. The regional police commander was an untouchable scumbag and I was given gifts from a bunch of Afghan officers from the army and the police when…
Thats exactly why we dont talk about what we know. We know a lot more than what our satellites tell us.
Meh. I dont need much off-road capability, but I do need better than average capability for getting around shitty unplowed roads and alleys in Minnesota winters and occasional light duty stuff to get to our paintball fields that requires more ground clearance than cars have. Id take one of these in a heartbeat if it…
Definitely an Edge
We know where damn near every tank in the world is, and we arent going to talk about it nor how we know it. If tanks appear somewhere they werent before, its easy to tell where they came from because they arent where they were anymore.
No way to tell who these tanks belong to? Did you learn that in armchair intelligence analysis school?
Panel gaps are a huge issue in a lot of the new FMC vehicles. It drove me nuts putting Fusions on the show floor when their hood or trunk was crooked, and I had multiple customers have issues with the power lift gate on the Escapes not closing after several months because it had gotten too far out of line. That…
Everything east of Pennsylvania is New England, and everyone who lives there is a guido.
York is in England. New York is in New England. This is science, it cannot be denied. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise because theyre from there and they "know better", ignore them for being a guido that almost lives in New Jersey (also part of New England)
Dont let your eyes get too big. It is not an easy thing to get into. Most customers dont give two shits about product knowledge. Its about how well they mesh with the sales guy first and foremost. You gotta have the right personality for it to be truly successful, and you gotta stick it out for a few years to get…
Oh god, its terrible. I mean, maybe its not. Maybe its a Volvo S80 and it looks really nice under the camouflage. But if you say its a 300 and then show me that shape, no. Just no. Kill it with fire.
If I had money to throw at silly things, Id get myself an old Saab Sonett ii and throw the 1 liter ecoboost in it. What a hoot that would be.
Tanks dont do too well in Afghanistan, so they never brought any over.
Toyota is moving to Texas, because like Texas, they suck. Much like Texas is the embarrassing reason that respectable Americans have to pretend to be Canadian when they travel abroad, the BRZ has to pretend to be a Scion because Toyota sucks. That being said, I am undecided how I feel about the move. On one hand,…
FOB Shank is named after a close friend of mine. That was a horrible day.
Caproni made some pretty silly stuff back in the day.
Caproni Stipa "Intubed Propeller"
As someone who wasnt alive to suffer through the vast amounts of pubic hair that blighted the 70s, I dont have a scarred memory due to how bad these originally were. I really like the way they look though, and wouldnt at all mind having one thats in good condition. But I saw a beautiful blue 72 Datsun with an LT1 in…
