You and me both buddy. I’ve been holding off on getting a new car as soon as I heard about this thing. But it needs to be competitively priced and well equipped for that competitive price or else I’ll take my talents (aka money) over to the Golf R. But lord knows I want to hoon this around Hawaii so bad.

You named all these people but fail you recognize the 3 that make your whole statement void. Clarkson, Hammond and May. You have one who's just old and been in a number of crashes. We all know Hammond can't even drive in a straight line. And May is the King of slow. All these equate to how the British are the not the…

Makes me wonder if Tesla secretly calls his assembly line electric avenue.

Best one by far: “ELEC AVE”

Be careful with buying your own modem. Check that the modem is compatible with you’re service provider first so you don’t end up like me shelling out $100+ to find out you can’t use your fancy new modem with your service provider.

I love the look of the XV also. I just wish it had the power train of the WRX. It would be the WRX hatch we all want and need.

Subaru would have had my business months ago when I was in the market for a new car. I really wanted the XV. The funky look of it appeals to me and I need something with a hatch at least (currently have a truck with terrible gas mileage) for the amount of stuff and people I carry frequently. But that lack of…

I don't make the priorities lol. That's what the DoD has determined the priority order for hi priority items is. Realistically this doesn't affect the operating forces much. It's just something we joke about.

This is true. The Blue Angels and HMX-1 are priority 1 when it comes to getting parts while deployed units are priority 2 and everyday operations in garrison are priority 3. Just for reference.

This is my world in the military. We deal with this everyday trying to get parts for aircraft that are way over their service life. Things are breaking that were never planned to break which requires a contract to be established and the parts to be made and shipped which can take anywhere from 2-5 years usually. And…

Well for high ranking officers it’s their job to be the buffer between the military and the government to make sure we get the funding and equipment we need. So yea in that sense a little political ass kissing is necessary. Do some take it too far? Sure. But don’t you dare ever try to tarnish the good name and honor…

I'm sorry. Can you say that again please? I think my commission was stuck in my ears. But it seems like you're implying all officers in the military do is kiss political ass? I'm pretty sure what I do is lead Marines (and Sailors in my current position). So you can take your political garbage away from the honor that…

You're right. I got confused.

You're right. My bad. Don't know why I got them mixed up. I was just talking a coastie about this a couple weeks ago too.

I noticed that too. The gear shifter also seemed to be bouncing around.

No they replaced the Falcons with C-27s

Is it just me or does this picture just scream America? The reflection of the flag patch, the carrier and a naval aviator.

Except Navy fighter aircraft only operate from ships when forward deployed. That limits their range to the littorals. Whereas Marine fighter aircraft operate primarily from forward deployed bases on land after boots on the ground have secured the area due to fighter aircraft securing the skies from sea bases. Plus the…

UH-1Ys are the Venoms. AH-1Zs are Vipers.
