1)I don't have a dolphin, I completed NROTC, but I chose not to commission. My brother-in-law serves on an Ohio though.

I believe that START II only restricted ICBMs with MIRVs. SLBMs were still allowed to utilize MIRVs.

I was under the impression that the Russians only had 3 Borei completed. Are they planning to deploy the Borei as they are finished?

1)Our SSBNs do avoid "their" part of the world, it's kind of their purpose.

The population dose being referred to here is the cumulative dose the entire Kuwaiti population will receive while the DU retains any radioactivity. The statement you quote simply says that that dose has the potential to cause 10 deaths from cancer. No one person will ever receive anywhere near a high enough dose to…

I flipped on the TV at 10:30 and to my surprise the race recap was on. What I think happened is this: NBCSN was planning to show the recap at 10:00, when the race was delayed because of the red flag, NBCSN decided to show the recap immediately after the race finished. Instead of continuing with normal coverage as they…

I see your sedan and raise you a DS Coupe.

The Saab Turbo X was created to commemorate 30 years of turbocharged Saabs. Only Saab would decide to build a special car for such an odd milestone.

As taste is in the mouth of the beholder, I won't try to claim that this is the most tasteful car, but there is just something understated about its beauty that suggests its performance and pedigree. None of that MC or sport stuff, pure GranTurismo or S please.

As far as I'm aware this car was approved under the Single Vehicle Approval scheme in either 2008 or 2009. I believe that Cars International Kensington bought it at auction by Brooks at Goodwood where this photo comes from.

But it has 2 seats.

Didn't this have a second seat set behind and to the left of the driver?

The headrest is mounted to the hinged portion of the canopy, or the surround structure. I haven't seen any literature or photos suggesting a single seat option. From what I can tell, the author of the wiki page is making a supposition based on the form of the car. None of the linked sources mention a single seat.

You you may be able to see to a little better in this picture, but the Tramontana does have a minimal backseat.

This is the interior of 28R, the Gulf liveried F1 GTR Longtail.

It started life as a GTR race car with one seat and was then converted for road use. I don't know if McLaren added the extra two seats when they worked on it or not.

McLaren converted a F1 GTR Longtail to be road legal for a customer. I'm not sure if they added the two extra seats or not, but as single seaters go it's pretty hard to beat this.

Nice price, but I'm Hungry for the Wolf (sburg) Edition.

But Vatanen hit the wall and Robby didn't. Robby continued to race at Pike's Peak and in 1994 set the open wheel record at 10:05.850 which, I believe, stands to this day. Comparing drivers by what is a single lap is pointless. Maybe one driver truly is better than the other, but using only this as a evidence is faulty…

Don't Forget Robby Unser. Much of the footage in Climb Dance is from his run in 1989. He was a little over a second slower than Vatanen, but it was still a magnificent performance.
