Convair B-58 Hustler. Bad-ass name, bad-ass plane.

Other than Apple, what computer maker even goes to the trouble of implementing Thunderbolt, especially on a laptop, where it’d be most useful since it’s basically PCI on an external cable? Intel’s been trying to make Thunderbolt happen for years, but it seems to this day only Apple has really bought into the…

Car salesmen are like dogs. They can smell fear.

If those are’t real M3s, they went through the trouble of putting in the M3/4 mirrors too. Also, the flared rear wheel arches look legit too.

Unless you’re a minority (model in the picture notwithstanding), in which case, fanny pack = probable cause.

Grossest thing is when you go into a (often chain) restaurant, and there aren’t enough utensils for all the courses you’re eating. Because what usually happens is at the end of your course, your waiter will take your utensils off the plate or bowl, and then place it on the table, to be used with the next course. The…

180 rounds doesn’t sound like a lot. Maybe a burst or two? I would have thought they’d carry around 500 rounds.

Have a pair of SR80s from way back in the day. They sound good, but as pointed out bleed sound as a result of their design.

Dear European,

I don’t get it. So is your point that the B61 is bad just because nuclear weapons are bad? That we shouldn’t keep our nuclear arsenal up to date? How is this any different from maintaining the readiness of our SRAMs, Tridents, and Minutemen missiles, etc? Or is your argument that these bombs are obsolete from a…

To me, the dividends are what make it ethically dubious. Private equity just did the same thing to Colt. For all of Colt’s well-known mismanagement, incompetence, and other troubles (I mean, the AR-15 and 1911 are their babies, and yet they managed to lose big money in during a gun sales boom), Colt was forced to file…

Buran was also better in that respect, because a Shuttle could only glide, Buran had atmospheric (jet) engines and could do a powered landing. I’m not sure reusing the SSMEs got us anything, in terms of cost savings or otherwise.

Holy cow that’s the best looking F40 I’ve ever seen. I love that blue.

You can, in fact, basically get the ZHP in a 2 series.

That clock tower always gave off a Barad-dûr vibe to me. It's not just ugly but downright sinister looking.

Never said it was good looking. Just distinctive 😜

It's a shame they later removed the distinctive beehive from her island.

All this stuff you can already get from the M Performance catalog. They’re just basically packaging them all into a special edition before the mid-life facelift, where the 435i changes engines and names into the 440i.

You can, as a Gran Coupe (albeit not in M form). Agreed that M3 looks better. It rear looks muscular and athletic whereas the M4 looks like it has a fat ass.

Holy cow! That’s a real-life knife head:
