Yeah, no, I gotta call BS on this one. Super shady action by the camera car. Racing up behind a police car in the middle of a traffic stop and blaring your horn? Knowing exactly who you think the police officer is driving in the middle of a live event? BS.

Not sure what was going on here, but I'm calling shenanigans

Jeeze, there's like three cars out there. How in the world did they manage to take somebody out with half a field?

An army certainly marches on its stomach, and the C-17 has done a remarkable job of supporting the broadest zone of U.S. military activity in history. From the deserts of Iraq to the mountains of Afghanistan to the jungles of Central Africa, the Globemaster has provided unparalleled logistical support for the U.S.

Now the only way to know if you touched is if your exhaust pipes are wedged in the retaining wall...

(I kind of love it, too, though...)

The world is long overdue for a USDM "Hovervan."

Those conflicts are both valid, but occurred well-before the treaty of 1994, which has born remarkable progress in bilateral relations. Both governments remain rather coy about the full extent of the relationship (to admit cooperation would likely anger fringe publics on both sides of the border), but there have

Jordan actually has an exceptional HUMINT program via their GID, although I'm given to understand there have been some scandals and significant personnel overhauls in the department recently

Except Jordan and Israel kind of get a long. (When looking at the den of insanity that is their geopolitical neighborhood, is it that hard to believe that two relatively stable regimes would look out for each other?)

Insightful observations on the video, man. I'd point out, however, that these kinds of propaganda clips aren't necessarily informational so much as chances to to get the ra-ra going with their civilian audience. My guess would be that the base footage isn't necessarily representative of what the Jordanian military is

I'm going to guess a Forza mod sneaking in to Ford's official FB.

This is how Uncle Sam rolls coal...

For Ken Block's next Gymkhana I think he should hoon his way through a blood bank parking lot.

LOL. That was kind of how I read it, too. Original as in "not-Lego" version, not as in a specific iteration of the Enterprise... At least the confusion did net us a pretty sweet graphic of the different versions courtesy of Mr. Blair, though!

Car fires are always scary, but the notion of invisible flames always terrified me as a kid (and kind of still does)... Phasing out methanol was one of the smartest safety decisions in motorsport in the last 15 years.

I was thinking the same about OEM EG/EK Civics... Not sure if it counts, but I haven't seen one in years that didn't have a: rims or b: a fart-can exhaust.

Was it Ferrari who argued that aerodynamics were for people who "can't build engines" ?

I first encountered that 767 pull here or on Jalopnik proper. Either way, I was wondering if or when somebody would float that Group C monstrosity... Love that thing...

Digging on the OP Porsche quite a bit, too!

LOL. That's Monty in a nutshell.

He was a decent commander, no doubt, but he had very little tact and remarkable sense for self-aggrandizement. Those factors kind of kept his dislikability in a constant footrace with his military competence, and makes it a little tricky to objectively critique his performance...

(Althou

Probably just as well, the Q2 sounds more like a Pokemon than an Audi...

I think so, that looks like it might be Cole Hauser on the right foreground.
