Definitely not the Grayhound, but while the Hawkeye was a sitting duck, it would be part of “combat ops”, just like an AWAC would be part of combat ops for the Air Force.

Right? Or Grayhound, or Hawkeye.

While I see both of your points, perhaps the issue would have been resolved if the author had referred to “naval aviation” as opposed to “Navy”, no? I have to assume even a marine aviator would consider himself part of “naval aviation.”

Very nice. The Smart Roadster was a dreadful car, but imagine the possibilities (just as Brabus did). Even stuffing a motorcycle engine in there may have yielded a poor man’s mini clownshoe.

That CR test track looks like a damn fine playground.

Came in for this; leaving fully satisfied.

Smooth is fast is what I think he meant, though I suspect you know that. That is, except if you are like me and sometimes like to get on power early just to see the tail end dance. Then screw smooth, give me POHWAR!

Nah, they are virgins alright. They just look like Klinger (MASH).

As a 4C Spider.

I’m still very much partial to the 99 turbo. Just like that one. Ok, maybe with soccer balls on.

He’s working on his best Val Kilmer.

Also common (or used to be) on overnight train travel in Europe.

Same here. I’m always paying attention well ahead of me and simply cruise when I see red and usually just downshift to second and go on green by the time I get there. American muscle car dickheads passing on my left huffing and puffing only to sit at the light.

Every single “autonomous driving car” or self-driving car. Because why the hell not? Your ownership of one may already denote you may not be so concerned with mundane things, such as driving dynamics, road feel, FUN, etc.....
