With that suspension it has to be light weight and industrial. It also looks COE with that steering column, so International Harvester Metro Van, LM Series 1950-1952.

There's no arguing that Dream Chaser IS dead. Challenging the awarding will get SNC nowhere and no other country or countries will be able to foot the bill without the Department of State stepping in and telling SNC in certain terms to cease and desist.

They may or may not be cars, but the Bowler Wildcat and Nemesis are rally ready right from the factory.

For the foreseeable future, Iraq will be unstable at best. Allowing a country which may shift alliances drastically within the next decade to purchase weapons that would give parity with the United States' more stable allies in the region would be irresponsible at best. It would also be unlawful as anything beyond…

Unless something has changed after Silverstone, the FIA's stream is no longer free. They want 20 euros for the whole season.

06-08 Audi A3s are in her price range, but if you are trying to talk her into a Golf, then an Audi would be a stretch. For the money, a Golf is probably the right choice, but the 2012 to present Focus is pretty tempting. What does she drive now?

I'm calling bullshit on this one. Their only proof is from GPS tracking. GPS is entirely spoofable. A GPS transmitter rigged to a laptop can do all kinds of fun things.

And that's just the cost to the US. ESA, JAXA, and many others have contributed to the ISS's budget.

A modern 7 or 8 speed transmission, non-double clutch, can contain upwards of 2,000 components. Given the complexity of Formula 1 engineering solutions, 100,000 is a believable number. Your car probably contains more than 30,000 components.

Perhaps today was particularly light on traffic, who knows why they chose today? They did warn people however. They posted notice on their facebook page and the local news stations broadcast reminders. The people who don't watch the news should have checked the internet before voicing their outrage.

Where would you suggest that an Airport Fire Department practice an abandoned field? Much of the equipment that Airport Fire Departments use is to large to be practically transported. Most airports, international or not, use runways for exercises of this kind. The higher the level of realism in a practice scenario,…

Some things can't wait actually. There is a schedule for training and if an aircraft were to burst into flames tomorrow would you still say the exercise could have waited? They certainly could have notified people about the Drill, but there's nothing wrong with practicing life saving tasks on 9/11.

They both mean the same thing. I think of the pedals as being in when they are fully depressed and your feet being at full extension or out. Some people think of both feet being at full extension as both feet being in. That doesn't make sense to me but it makes for a good rhyme.

And that's why, When in Doubt both feet out.

This is a small nitpick, but this kind of thing happens so often I feel I must speak up. The Model S is not the Safest Car Ever Produced. It is the Safest Car Ever Tested, at least by the NHTSA. Given the state of modern technology, it is safe to assume that there has never been a safer car, but there is no empirical…

As this happened in SA, it's more likely that these "machine guns" were firing 5.45mm M79 or 5.45mm MPTs. Going to the trouble and expense of manufacturing a system in 5.7mm seems a waste of time when an AK-74 is easily purchased on the black market. There is also the cost of ammunition. Elite and American Eagle make…

I don't have a problem with this. The donator has no rights regarding a piece unless it was stipulated at the time of donation. As for the tax break issue, the intent is for donations to be available for the public to view, but if the proceeds of the sale are used by the foundation appropriately, then the intent of…

Personally I'm in favor of frying. Nearly anything is best crispy and golden.

Nope. Dirigible is from Diriger in French which means directable, so while any airship is a dirigible, they must be manned and powered

Actually, they are barrage balloons intended to dissuade aircraft from flying too low. Some were equipped with explosives designed to detonate when an aircraft contacted them.
