If F-35 advocates are saying that the plane is designed to kill opponents before they get close enough for dogfights, aren’t they really drone advocates?

at that power level, I would want to be able to pick the gear change even exactly when I want it and modulate the rate at which it happens with the pedal. 

I want a Nic Cage/Spider Noir and Oscar Isaac/spiderman 2099 buddy spider-cop style show. Make it happen, Sony!

pass on this one. nostalgia is worth something, but at the end of the day, this is still an under-powered tin can with an odd-ball motor that must be vigilantly protected from Mother Nature’s influences and Father DOT’s salt trucks.

Hey Jason, here’s a fun fact about Volkswagen prototypes you probably didn’t know: VW actually made more prototypes of a new Type 2 bus than they did original Type 2 buses.

Apple got the same criticism when Jobs was running the place, but they were making money hand over fist and just about every product drop was a major innovation. Now? Well, you know about the ‘now’.

You know, you can always tell when a photographer takes pictures of something they really love. When are you going to the dealer?

fun fact: it’s easy to convert R motors to propane. Why? because it was intended to be used in warehouse forklifts.

having owned one of these (1984 vintage) I can tell you that removing that top isn’t a lightly made decision, and it’s a surprising amount of grunt to pull it apart. BUT IT IS WORTH IT.

Some private owners don’t like them because they can leak. I’ve seen some Fords with stained headliners. Some commercial owners don’t need them because their upfitter will yank the bed and put an aftermarket body on it. Depending on whether it’s a mason dump, a box, or a covered service body, it will have it’s own…

the review makes it sound more like a reboot of the Iron Giant than of Bayformers. Really, if you’re going to crib from ANY big robot story, the Iron Giant is the right one.

my first car was a 69 Mustang Mach 1 fastback, which had the same (ok, worse) rear visibility and that was decades before anyone even thought to use the words “backup” and “camera” in the same sentence. Stop crying like a toddler and get over it. Come to me with a real complaint after you put the rear window louvers…

10 years ago, this kind of car was vaporware. 5 years ago, the Tesla S changed that. 2 years from now, we’ll be able to cross shop across several brands. crazy.

Get the S4. Forget the performance differences against the STI (the S4 is better car, anyway). The reason you want it is because it’s invisible. Cops don’t see it. If they do see it, they avoid it. No cop wants to give a ticket to a rich jerk who’s just going to show up in traffic court with a high-cost lawyer. Not…

I want nothing. seriously.

that was the last movie.

and Ford is coming out with a 7.3L-ish gasser motor next year that will probably have cylinder deactivation and run like it’s a 3.8-ish 4 banger most of the time. They’ll sell tons of them while these 4 banger trucks rot on the lots.

that bridge has an orthotropic steel deck (kind of like a fancy waffle made of welded steel) instead of a conventional concrete one. Orthotropic decks are a wetdream for academia and researchers, since it promises to cut the weight of the bridges, making the cheaper, they are a pain in rear end for the engineers who…

I want to see, and I don’t know if I’ll get it, some resonance with the first trilogy. In that, I want to see Kylo drift to the light, but stay dark. I want Rey to drift to the dark, and start to tip over the edge, the way Luke did, before he caught himself in RotJ. I want to see Kylo sacrifice himself on Rey’s saber…

Seeing an applicant who bounces around from job to job is always a red flag for me. It takes at least a year to ‘know’ a new job, even if it’s the same level/role as the old company. I don’t want to risk investing time and resources bringing someone into the team if they’re going to bolt and leave the rest of the team…
