Well, I’ve always been more of a “heart” person myself. I’ll leave souls to those more pious than myself.

Assuming it still looks like it did three years ago and no rust, it is a great looking truck. Needs an engine swap, though, and a nice engine bay cleaning while you are at it. Because of that, need to discount the price by the cost of the engine swap. Half the price and we are talking.

If it only looked even a quarter as nice as it sounds.......

Well put. Perhaps it’s time for a “clawback” law similar to that put on Wall St. after the crisis. You fuck up, we’ll take your money back.

As a UofM grad, I approve of your comment, my good sir!

Where are the Saab soccerballs?

Not just dash structures. Check out BMW’s N52 engine. A magnesium and aluminium composite is used in the crankcase, along with a magnesium bedplate and cylinder head.

Nah, that’s just the phonetic pronunciation of his name. Ouch......

The most beautiful car I can buy bears no resemblance to the most beautiful car I can actually afford to buy!

The Russian Navy does patrol the Gulf Coast on occasion. It’s been in the news before. The U.S. gives no fucks as it is legal. Hell, even the Chinese crossed into U.S. territorial waters off Alaska as an exercise of innocent passage. Again, legal and no biggie. The U.S. didn’t have a cow over it.

Unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) the Reds are not dumb enough, so they actually make these runs with unarmed planes (otherwise, yes, CIWS on). Best the U.S. could do, besides returning the favor with runs of its own, would be to at least paint these planes with targeting radar. Use the even for some live training.

This is all fascinating to ponder, and who knows what earthly-applicable advances may come out this pursuit. I am just left to wonder how was it that Hawkins went from warning what a bad idea it would be to alert alien life of our existence here on Earth on account of how it might end badly for us, to now being an…

Makes perfect sense. Otherwise they’d have Captain Slow be the driver.

The more modern cars resemble rolling entertainment centers, the more traffic fatalities we’ll have, regardless of speed. It’s about time we got back to basics and cars are designed for driving. Of course, this could all be a plot to force us into the coming dystopian future of driverless cars.

It’s alright, I suppose. The one design feature in the Model S I never quite got was the use of frame-less doors. I get it design practice moved in that direction for coupes a long time ago, but sedans always seemed to hold on to proper, solid framed doors. A frame-less door always feels so fragile to me, compared to…

At least his car smelled pine tree fresh.

Blue, manual. Would have liked a sunroof option. Just me.

Is it just me or does that new front not remind you of a Range Rover?

You and me brother. I’m just glad this was Netflix and not $15 wasted at the movies.

Role model heroes of da’hood!
