I didn't realize how badly things were going for the PAK-FA project that India is helping sponsor, too.

As an example, I get this impression that it seems acceptable to secretly point and laugh at someone doing a track day for the first time on a liter bike. From the owners side of the fence, it's a piece of affordable exotica that serves the same purpose as the Ferrari poster they had on their wall as a kid. From the…

Getting along with people at track days is pretty easy. The problem is when respect and courtesy towards other riders is forfeited to further inflate one's ego.

September = March

I'm not going to lie, most of the online motorcycle content is absolute garbage. It almost reflects the typical trip you are likely to experience at any dealership or general big ticket motorcycle event. I really miss the days when HFL was just starting to land on its feet. My only other alternative is Biker Glory or…

'You're doing the Lord's work, son.'

I don't know about assigning blame to any of the three parties, but each individual has the responsibility of assigning themselves a certain amount of margin to account for unforeseen circumstances, especially caused by simple human error from another party. The very second the rider and Ariel driver turned up the…

CHURCH PARKING LOT BURN-OUTS, BRO!

If the system is reliable and I'd be keeping the vehicle for a long time (driving the vehicle to where its value is almost diminished to 0%) it might be worth getting the eyesight package if it ever saves you from fixing a cracked bumper or replacing expensive broken trim/headlight pieces or minorly bjorking the…

There has to be enough F-4 Phantoms there to keep a fleet flying for the next hundred years.

Just out of curiosity, is that a field that you work in? I took a controls class last semester for my engineering degree and thought it was my most favorite class up to that point and what you just said really piqued my interest.

Living in Alabama, I'm not surprised to see our ranking. Even with Huntsville and it sucking the sweet tit of the defense industry is not enough to pull the overall state into a higher percentile. Seriously though, people are miserable here.

Correction: They weren't thinking at all.

This is a valid point.

I'm sad for the employees that are going to lose their jobs because of Radio Shack going under, but when I went in there to get an LED, I saw that they wanted $50 for an Arduino board that I paid $10 for off eBay, so it was difficult to imagine the company lasting much longer with those kinds of principles. The LED…

I was raised by a devout Christian mother and maybe I'm just hardwired to be like this because of how her beliefs influenced me, but I am a Christian, too. That doesn't mean I associate with a church (pastor actually approached my mom to have an affair with him when I was little and then made my mom out to be the…

The only thing noticeable about college is people usually have worse hygiene habits than they did in high school.

Was going to say the same thing about the burn out. Really not needed on street tires.

Jeep will respond by using chalk to draw a massive Wrangler in a mall parking lot.

Pass.
