I’d love to argue that point but I don’t argue with “bacon.”

I’d pay $10,000 extra for this. Seriously, I would. In a heartbeat.

You really think you pre-dated the asshats at the Ring?! Trust me, they were there loooong before you were.

No, it was a crystal-clear textbook example of poor decision-making nearly leading to a fatality. Threading a needle with uncertain results would not be necessary had this imbecile used his head. “Piloting” requires an ounce of judgement.

Because most people don’t treat it like a race, park on others’ bumpers, keep their eyes open for flags, etc. The Ring is financially strapped: They need people to respect basic rules, not more expensive tech to think for you.

Aaron, #5 James Dean’s 550 “disappearance” never happened and it’s well-documented now.

“Corvette Summer”!

Number 5 (Dean’s car) is a long, long-discredited wives tale.

My experience with Mazda has been horrible. Got a 2014 6 and had nothing but problems from the start. The company was impossible to work with, the “fixes” had to be re-fixed, sometimes repeatedly (infotainment replaced twice) so I ended up selling it. Between that and the constant rust of Mazdas, I’ll never by another…

The war on drugs is WHY all that money goes to kingpins and gangs. There is no part of it that doesn’t affect every other.

That’s like saying beer is bad because you have coworkers who drink on the job.

Will you stop the “spread” by doing what we’ve been doing (a losing, ineffective policy) or by pumping those tens of billions into education, counseling, etc. (something actually effective in other nations)?

True, traffickers are terrible. But these guys aren’t using their single-use million dollar sub to traffic people. That’s a different group of goons, for whom terrorist smuggling would be even worse for business.

Precisely. This “war” is only for politicians to say they’re “tough on crime.” Nothing more.

They’re only dangerous criminals because there’s a lucrative market to protect. There’s only a lucrative market to protect because there’s a “war on drugs.” Remove that silly “war” and all the billions we spend on it, and we won’t have these bad guys. Yes, coke is not innocuous but prohibition is even less so.

A Fox “News” viewer has joined us. Welcome.

Ha! That only took...a century.

Public relations. That’s what all of this is about.

Agreed, though drug interdiction isn’t a real great or cost-effective goal, IMHO. Still, I was shocked by Tyler’s post this year on how few air assets they have.

I find it horrifying that we spend as much as we do (deploying nuclear attack subs?!) to chase down and celebrate this one catch when there are 10 others that are passing ‘em right by...
