Because shut up, Kyle.

Yeah, but what about Tom Cruise?

You just fold him silly.

Chuck Yeager last flew in an F-15 when he was 89.

I’m still trying to figure out how all 6 foot 5 inches of Merlin fit in the cockpit with a helmet on.

Yeah, and that would be painfully obvious for a Hollywood that’s so formulaic (and probably pandering) that it borders on the criminal.  So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say kudos to Hollywood for not doing that.

That asterisk looks expensive

I know that you can’t always see every pothole, or avoid every pothole in every situation. Let me state that up front. I live in Chicago. Potholes are a way of life. I’ve driven my lowered BRZ into some invisible potholes at night that had the car basically fall onto its front bumper. I’ve also hit potholes violently

Yeeeeeeeah...there’s a GOOD reason why they wanted to replace the viaduct going through Seattle.

And the area has a volcano, part of a chain thereof.

I was under my car on stands 5 min before the July 5th one struck. I got out when my kids came into the garage to ask me something, then the rocking and rolling started.

And this is why you always put the wheels or another backup method of restraint below the car in addition to using jack stands, with the hydraulic jack in place, locked on, with slight clearance to light pressure on the jack point or the side of the car you’re working on.

I work in an industry where I respond to natural disasters among other things. I’ve attended many seminars on earthquakes and my mind always wonders to scenarios like this.

Because some of us are old and our cars are old. Your Explorer isn’t 50 years old and I’m guessing you’re not either. Like Jason mentioned, sometime on old cars one bolt take take hours to get off. Besides, life has a way of interrupting progress when it’s being made.

I've got two welders, which will be pried out of my cold dead hands. Presumably after I have inadvertently asphyxiated and electrocuted myself. And my hands might not be cold, smoldering is an option. The prying, that's compulsory. 

Yeah, tell me how conservatives don’t try to control people. Really, I need a laugh today.

The weather forecast says it will rain. We know that’ll mean no F-35s, and likely no Blue Angels.
Enough rain and the trucks carrying those tanks won’t be able to roll on to the dirt/grass to offload them, as the weight would mean the trucks get stuck in the mud.
I smell fiasco.
