Not gonna lie, I’ve been playing a lot of Ace Combat lately and until I started the article I was real confused

Elon Musk would 100% be America’s Speer. He has the exact same mix of wild big-picture thinking and idiotic myopia. Can’t wait to read his tell-all book about how our catastrophic genocidal war with Venezuela was everyone’s fault but his in twenty years.

Looks good. The rule of thirty says that we’re overdue for a hard rush of 90s nostalgia, so you’re setting the curve here. Are you going to bring in the black from the hood and vents on the inside beyond the black paint on the seat hardware?

Wild. I wonder if that’s why the glove door is always missing, like there’s something back there you need to fiddle with a lot? That or wood utility doors in half-century old convertibles just don’t survive very well.

No, but it’s still the most practical. The ability to remotely floodlight the area would also be a good counter in situations where your opponents have superior detection equipment to your forces, although that’s unlikely to happen to anyone who can launch big mirror satellites in the first place.

It’s a sad state of affairs that orbital floodlighting isn’t even close to the worst thing cops in the US can deploy against citizens. Compared to microwave beams, directed sonics, expanding/flattening bullets, armored personnel carriers, and firebombing, it’s downright tame.

You know I was gonna say the Tiger but I didn’t think they were that rare. There were three families in the last town I lived in who owned one! They’re gorgeous little cars, although every single one was missing it’s glove compartment door.

So like... This is for war, right? Like bathing a battlefield in sunlight so the enemy can’t hide, or blasting small desert cities with nonstop daylight until they become unlivable?

Sales of traditional cars have been dropping steadily since the SUV explosion of the mid-90s. And today, people who want a car usually want it for some secondary reason - performance, aesthetics, or subcompact size. Luxury labels still make cars for these reasons, but the casual customer wants an SUV or crossover - a…

Yeah if anything now that the Corvette has its engine in the back, the Fiero would be even more of an also-ran. Does Chevy sell enough performance coupes to merit a Boxster to the Corvette’s 911? I feel like it might not, seeing as they just dropped the Camaro.

Me: “Say fellas, I just got back from the Bentley lot!”
My wealthy friends: “Bentley, now that’s a swell car! Which one did you get?”
Me: “I got a used Lucid!”
My wealthy friends: Silence so deafening I must clutch my ears in agony

ACTUAL 131 rally cars go for six figures. The homologation specials generally do not. So if you want a road-legal 131 Abarth Rally, buy one of those. Don’t buy whatever this is.

I applaud your bold stance of “Boeing Apologist.” You’re right, we should definitely lay off a little on the massive defense contractor that has killed hundreds of people through sheer ineptitude, handwaved it all on race, actively covered up their crimes, then murdered at least one whistleblower, all while paying…

If you don’t know which to use, you probably should have!

You’d just assume they would have generators. Like I know rah rah electric truck, but if you drove gas trucks you’d bring more gas, right? Are they planning on laying cable once they leave power grids behind?

I like forged carbon fiber. It has a randomness that you can’t get from a printed pattern. Nobody’s going to believe it came from nature, but it breaks up the geometric sterility of car interiors the way wood does.

If only there were already a well-understood means of transit by which people could move through underground tunnels quickly and efficiently, without the need for manual steering. Sadly there is nothing.

When it was first introduced in 1997, the 6.8-liter V10 produced 275 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque, and by the time it went out of production it was producing 362 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.

I ASSURE you he had it in sport, just because.

The Performante has a 190db exhaust note. That’s almost 20% above the threshold for pain. This dude deserves his fine. That said, the Huracan also has dynamic valve control, and I suspect his volume is the result of driving in Sport - the Huracan has a “street” drive mode that is quieter and more sedate, specifically…
