Pretty much. Just like the Seawolf-class submarines. Except that the Seawolf-class boats are actually incredibly capable, incredibly cool, and incredibly useful. It's too bad we only have three of those.

We don't; we left that to the old Soviet Union. Their stockpile was always bigger than ours, and if Chernobyl was any indication, vastly more prone to disastrous consequences.

Actually, their spreadsheet says that it's more expensive than what they are operating today, and doesn't offer the capabilities that will be more likely to be useful going forward. Thus, they've curtailed the class to 3-ships and have re-started production on the the prior class of destroyers, the Arleigh Burke-class.

Exactly. LAX may have it's fair share of issues, but let's not blame it for the problems of idiots.

Dude, I'm sorry for the dude who had issues at LAX, but some of those issues sound personal to me. I was born and raised in LA, and have flown in and out of LAX many, many times. It's just not that complicated.

I'd like to see you point out anywhere in my prior comment where I asserted, either implicitly or explicitly, that all of the money raised must necessarily go to research.

Oh, it's definitely just a render. I suspect it's actually probably built of an image of an Accord coupe or C-Class coupe. Still, though, I like it; and getting a hood replacement shouldn't be too hard once the Mustang aftermarket goes nuts.

SGK is desperately trying to repair their reputation after the shitshow that was 2012 for them, and ESCORT is looking to increase awareness of its products. SGK gets another (albeit unusual) avenue to bring in a few bucks, and ESCORT (it hopes) gets more product awareness due to putting the SGK label on it.

Yes and no.

Well, there are two things here:

I'll be honest - if that's well and truly what the Mustang winds up looking like... I'm good with this. And by "good with this" I actually mean "I like it a lot." Just as long as it keeps a big, stonkin' V8 as an option under the hood at all times. I'd want one in liquid silver metallic and a saddle brown interior,…

Enter the story of the SS Baychimo, a cargo steamer that became stuck in pack ice about half a mile of the coast of Barrow, Alaska. Her crew abandoned her, and walked across the ice to land. When they returned for her, she had already broken loose of the pack ice. She became entrapped again, and while a recovery crew…

Oh, the 3-Series Compact was definitely worse. At least with F20 1-Series, BMW tried to give it a coherent look of its own. The 3-Series Compact, on the other hand... all I can think is that they furloughed their design staff for that one and let the engineers make the most efficient engineering decisions at the cost…

Hm. I liked the CLA in person. Usually, I like a subtler design, but there's something about the curves on the back half of the CLA that I find interesting. I agree that the A3 appears to a solid, cohesive design, but I just don't know. Unlike the A4, A5, and A7, this thing just does absolutely nothing for me.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Actually, the CLA is larger than the current C-class. The current C-class is in the same size class as the ATS. Therefore, the CLA is actually larger than the ATS.

Dude, that's awesome. I'm totally stealing that from you.

Because, quite simply...

No, no, I definitely still want one of these.
