I explained to some friends who were frothing over this that unless the drone was flying low enough to be engaged by the CIWS system, you’re basically talking about spending several hundred thousand dollars on a SAM to make a point.

And if it is low enough, how much are teaching Iran about the CIWS engagement envelope?

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”

That’s pretty much my motivation. There’s a reason I call it “Iffy Lube.”

On the tollways, 55 is either:

If there is one thing I have learned, it’s that you will never teach the aggressively stupid anything, especially if you let them know that you think they’re stupid. I’d have just said, when he asked if it was a 24-valve, “yes.”

Then again, you’re consigned to dealing with the aggressively stupid. So maybe the proper…

You are not alone — I also found its looks unobjectionable. We went with a Montana (!) instead.

Just want to add that even if Oisin had reported it, that wouldn't make him 'a little biach' or anything other than 'a dude who reported a crime,' because when it comes to punching co-workers, you just fucking don't.

I'm very sad to see this happen to Jezza, but I'll bet he'd be the first to say the fault was his alone.

I had a Festiva, which was its spiritual parent, and often felt that way.

I remember BMW getting a bit of a caning for its ad.

Yeah, I saw this guy turning around in my rearview, but with no lights on, so I turned right off the highway, then made another right, planning to double back a bit and maybe catch a parallel highway. (The highway being US 63, and the side road being Maple Street in Licking, MO.)

Well, the street I chose to double…

Holy shit, that took balls.

I'd find a way.

Whaddya mean this isn't Kate Upton's car?!?!

Jeez, you'd think folks'd never seen a serpentine belt before.

Ah, nope, well out of the range of any of my relatives (who are more Lawrence and Jackson county and who really aren't particularly violent, although they would definitely drive a Camaro and I wouldn't put drunkenness or meth use past some of them.)

I immediately thought that when I read that line.

Oh, dude, where? They might have been related to me!

That's pretty dangerous in and of itself.

And in the name of all that is holy, if there *is* a turn lane, get into it *before* you hit the brakes. I'm talking to you, drivers turning off of US 12 onto Fox Lake Road near Pistakee Highlands, IL.

As blurry as the image is, I couldn't even answer the question "minivan or sedan" with much confidence, and if you made the question "Town and Country or Montana?" I'd have no confidence at all in any answer I might give.
