There is no dedicated CAS mission in Joint Doctrine. The Marines don't like it, but the only mission is the COCOM's mission. The Army couldn't handle the air mission from the start because they didn't understand its value. When the services did have control of a given mission area their parochialism ended up causing…

This one, of course, is a DB5, but the 70's V8 Vantage is cool.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. I really do. There is no doubt the A-10 is a phenomenal aircraft. However, the entire USAF doesn't want to get rid of it, that's mostly a combo of the fighter guys and civilian bean counters. Some areas of the USAF would love to keep it and forsake the F-35, but that's wishful thinking…

America's version of this:

What went through my mind was the audacity of saying they who knew who a target was, sort of. During combat training it is made crystal clear you must have positive ID of your target. Period. If there is collateral damage, so be it, but the target's ID should be known with certainty. It made me really pause to think…

Let me know where my wife and kids can sign up!

This design element shares in past Lamborghini coupes for certain:

All good things to be pursuing, but uh... how great are the background checks for regular cabbies?

Huh. I'm like 99% sure this guy might be talking out of his ass, even if his guess isn't wrong.

This is actually a nice looking Merc. Young people might actually buy it. The sedan version is UGLY.

Mounted with double-sided tape I presume?

New Jersey state law requires municipalities meet ITE design requirements:

What do you think about Cadillac's big move? Smart? Stupid? And why?

I volunteer Doug DeMuro to test your theory.

I bought a CPO 2009 135i and love it. Mine had low miles (43k) and it was above $20k ($23k), but worth every penny. I think on any of these, it would be great to get a PPI if possible. I have an 04 X5 4.4i and we love it. We had a PPI and there are few minor things to take care of, but they won't surprise us. A friend…

I guess I don't understanding how this would reveal texting vs any normal data that might be transmitted or received while using an app like Waze.

Describe for me a few things:

With a solid state laser tied to an ABC turret installed on a fighter aircraft, dogfights may become equally as futile as beyond-visual-range missile attacks. A pilot could literally just look at their target while wearing their helmet mounted display, and the laser could lock onto it and set it ablaze at the speed of…

Have you seen how rich people dress these days?

This isn't really a surprise. In the popular media, the more flamboyant SpaceX and their manned Dragon V2 capsule have been getting the attention, while behind the scenes Boeing's CST-100 was widely picked as the favorite. It looks like NASA wants to be everyone's friend, because they picked both.
