I was thinking about what fun It would be to be Alfred to a new and young Batman. The first conversation would (because batman is obviously a Jalopnic fan) be about the car. Batman would say "I want a huge, black marauding, menacing, intimidating hulk of a vehicle that shoots machine guns, oil, caltrops, the whole…

I am beginning to think that jalopnic actually means "another chance to take a cheap shot at NASCAR". A vendetta? Simple minded? Or just a slow day in Jalopnic cyberspace?

I saw a 1931 Duesenberg Phaeton at a small town in northern WI (Gillet, Suring, or Cecil? around there). Those exhaust pipes are something you never forget.

I guess I was vague on the point I was trying to make. So I will be more clear. Politics in America are moving to the right because people who are buying politicians are buying them on both sides of the fence. At the same time our news media is making a joke of anyone not following that lead (Kucinich, Nader etc.) and…

You didnt think to just take some wire and run it under the rubber seal all away around and just taken it out in one piece? Its a rhetorical question really but still.

And is the reason we are currently overthrowing all those governments and invading their countries. You didnt think we were really fighting terrorism did you?

How soon we forget! Easily the worst.

Interesting side note. It also helped make "ghettos" in America. People of color could only live in certain places and were only allowed to work certain jobs. The places they were allowed to live were downtown in run down areas and their jobs (maids, slaughter houses etc. or any other jobs whites wouldnt do) were…

Yes he will. And so will the next president, and the next, and the next, and the next. OBama recently said if he would have been in politics in the 80's he would have been considered a moderate republican which describes Ron R. also. There is a message there somewhere. Hmmmm?

And the irony is?

Its not that its "hard" but look how close his rotor tips are to that fence. One small error, shift in wind, or any small loss of power and he may just be dead. Add this to how finicky those motors are to heat and this situation becomes hard and dangerous. I spent three years as an Army Helicopter Crewchief and I can…

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of…

If you have a point to make you should make it. So disagreeing with someone ripping on older generations means I have issues? I love how your rant against me has no stated bias. You are one of those wishy washy people who think that the world will be O K as long as we all get along. As long as we all just ignore the…

Ohhhh, ahhh so that's where poor people's food stamp and Head Start money is going. Aren't we all proud!

No I will not. You know nothing of what I speak. How dare you pander to their arrogance and stupidity. You may think you are "cool" as you kowtow to the younger generation's tendency to belittle everything that past generations have given them but that just makes you an old fool. Now go back to your dish.

And your point would be? What a jackass! I cant wait for you to get older and realize what an ass you have made of your self. Ripping on people who are older than you is so moronic there are no words for it. WE ALL GET OLD! You are getting older but obviously not much wiser. So in that sense you are ahead of the…

Because NASCAR has cornered the market on duct tape?

No! No! They had to stop. 24, 25 would have been too many. There is a "sound" barrier or something. Its all technical. Or they just ran out of Uros or whatever sign of Russian imperialism you want! Was that the Polish Johny Cash singing in the back ground?

Its not a rope but a strap. Which is a much safer alternative.

The funny part is where the Americans ask their newly captured rocket scientists where they got the ideas and tech. for their rockets. They looked incredulous and said "from you" of course. Then they showed them Goddard's book and the rocket ideas the Army brass decided wouldnt work.
