As far as I know we didn't need to release any, thank goodness. On a different mission, I was in an Army Sherpa and we were shot at, but it was small arms fire and we were at very low altitude.

Your name fits you well. Thanks, ahem, for the correction.

Beautiful video. Being in the USAF-Reserve I'm partial to the shots of our aircraft. This video captures the true wonder and majesty of some big aircraft. A KC-10 refueling a C-17 or a C-5 Galaxy lighting off chaff, does it get any better? I was in a C-17 flying to Iraq and we did aerial refueling along the way, it's…

I don't love the front, but the rest is beautiful and evokes a sense of the BMW E9 platform.

Guy Fieri figured it out and visited the Traffic Jam. I used to eat there all the time, WAY back in the late 80's. They appear to be thriving still.

Perhaps SRT is really only concerned about Colorado's own Tammy Allen and her ilk of tacky owners. They probably never see a track. I don't mean to disparage folks, because enthusiasts come in all stripes and many probably only care about the sounds and perception of a Viper vs its actual capabilities.

The cost to the gov user is high. If you have a car assigned to your office, it's an expensive proposition and the gov offices are hog-tied by the GSA.

Hell, the Model S broke the testing machine for roof crush protection. What the hell is it made of? Boron? What exactly is boron? I don't think anyone knows.

Glad they made it, but it'll be a tough recovery.

I remember riding in a KC-135 and tanked a B-1B. It was spectacular. I hope nobody was injured during egress.

So BMW's big Press release today "Never before seen concept from BMW M GmbH debuts at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering" won't be so never before seen?

I think we all know where the designers and engineers got their concept from, and no it wasn't the GM EV1:

I wish it were "Silence the Sound Track" so we could hear or not hear the cars instead of music out of a can.

Yep, from Grand Rapids area. I graduated from U of M in 1991.

In 1986 my cousin was working on a Showtime special called Motown on Showtime shot at the Rooster Tail in Detroit. She invited the entire family to be the "audience" (we have a huge family, I have 40 first cousins!). I was seated with this older black woman. As we made introductions she said "I'm Martha Reeves." We…

Ahhh, well that still would be something.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what's going in Detroit. I moved away years ago, but this is very interesting indeed. At the least it'll make an interesting campaign season. When will the Detroit Emergency Manager be done? Is there a termination date?

I think it's possible the new Mini could be the first car to feature iOS integration.

Amen. I wrote a long paper (36 pages I think) while working on Masters degree, part of which, covered the topic of skyrocketing college expense, and gasp, whether it's even worth going to college. This relates to your BFF's thoughts on student loans. We know that in Germany not everyone goes to college, but everyone…

To make it even more interesting, in consideration of your apparent listing, would have been to invite Chris Harris to help Tim out :-)
