As if visibility in the Camaro wasn’t bad enough....

I’m not even sure why this is newsworthy. I’ve never heard of Ford denying warranty coverage for track based breakage either. And even then, how could they ever prove you were on a race track when the failure happened?

Yeah, it’s pretty simple. He didn’t “beat” anyone, least of all a bunch of guys in modified JKs. He does, however, have the luxury of driving the shittiest truck of the bunch. Meaning, he can afford to do things and take risks those other guys can’t or won’t because they don’t want to tear up their $40k vehicles.

I don’t think anyone has anything on the JK Jeep snobs. My and dad I will go wheeling out here in Arizona. The Jeep guys will acknowledge him in his JKUR. They stare right through me in my ‘15 4Runner.

It’s basically a shell because that motor is shot and the transmission probably isn’t too far behind. That being said, it’s priced about $3k above what a shell of that vintage would be worth.

“Collectable”?

If there was one good thing that came out of OIF and Afghanistan, it’s that we learned a lifetime’s worth of knowledge on critical care transport and aeromedical logistics in the span of a decade.

Which doesn’t do you any good if the person is under insured or not insured and doesn’t have a significant net worth....

Marana is an avgeek’s paradise. If you ever get out to the Tuscon, AZ area, I highly recommend it.

I’ve been going to 100AW since it restarted back in 2002. There’s been some bad ones over the years.

How many races have *you* won?

To a certain degree, yes. A lot of tracks(all tracks?) require an EMS crew to be on standby on the premises at all events, so that alone isn’t cheap.

Don’t forget track insurance, since most insurance companies won’t cover track time.

Or you could buy a 4Runner, spend half as much money, have the same capability and the same stellar resale value.

This is civil court, not criminal court, and he’s not being sued because he has a felony record. He’s being sued because the vehicle he was piloting at the time lost control and fucked up a bunch of people.

I’ll never brake check for the reasons shown in that video, but if you’re going to sit six inches off someone’s bumper like that when it appears the right lane was wide open, you’re just as liable for what happens as the guy that brake checked you.

That’s another good point. The knowledge base and supply chains for these vessels just isn’t there any more. I can’t even begin to imagine the ancillary costs related to both of those to revive these ships.

$510 million gets them back in the water, but that’s sort of ignoring the fact that they’re insanely expensive to operate on a day to day basis, which is why the Navy got rid of them as quick as was possible following the end of the cold war in the early 90s. I thought I read somewhere that when you factor in the…

When you consider what the Apache was designed for, dogfighting other helicopters is borderline absurd. The entire plot is just ridiculous.

I walked around an F14 at the Pima museum.......good lord is that thing large.
