Tens of thousands? Try HUNDREDS of thousands. And it’s still a drop in the bucket.

Given that the Tesla has autopilot, I guess it’s true that in Soviet Russia, car really does drive you.

I’ve often wondered what’d happen if you took a modern, fuel- efficient driveline and threw it in an early 90's featherweight. Like, toss the 1.0L Ecoboost at a Geo Metro and see what happens. IIRC, those things were about 1650 lbs. or so, which is about 1000 lbs. less than the Fiesta that 1.0L Ecoboost came out of.

Sh…

So when are we all going to get together and collectively agree that maybe we just can’t all get along and that brave men are going to have to do some extremely unpleasant things to an unfathomable amount of people to ensure global peace?

The entertainment I now get from Top Gear is watching it slowly burn while everyone around it freaks the fuck out.

Make Sabine the new Stig. Call her Und Schtig and let her yodel to her hearts content while she’s driving.

If her daughters were armed, they could have defended themselves.

This should serve as a stern warning to any crew that... uh, that... oh fuck it. Stern warning. Stern. Back of the boat. Get it?

Oh look, VBIEDs in training.

removal of tire may have caused a shift in distribution of the vehicle.

I have no desire in this contest, but if I did, it would be either this:

Trump is going to win and I am voting for him. Come at me, Jezebro.

*ahem*

These puns always end up either stuck in a rut or spinning in circles. There’s just no way to get it back under control, though. Your best bet is to just roll over and let things happen as they do. That having been said, if I saw that happen in front of me, I probably would have flipped.

Did I do it right? ;)

Who gives a shit about depreciation? It’s a car, not a goddamn mutual fund. Buy it, drive the tits off it, sell it for what it’s worth when you’re done with it.

Or hey, lease the thing so if it turns out to be a first year shitbox and/or you just don’t like it, then at least you don’t have to cry about losing your ass…

When I was in Iraq back in ‘06, we were in transient housing at Balad AB, getting ready to GTFO and head home. I got a message to go report to somewhere to go take care of some outprocessing paperwork that got fucked up. The officer relaying this message to me told me to hurry and to take that M35A2 over there. I said…

Yeah, as long as something like a 13,500 FPM descent rate is maintained.

Math: Vmc is about 135 knots, glide ratio is about 1:1 (45° glide slope). Tan(45°) = 100. 100 * 135 knots = 13,500 FPM rate of descent.

I think the bigger question here is, why would anyone want to hack a Mitsubishi?

Tyler still would have gotten it right. :-* ;)

Tyler wouldn’t have fucked it up...
