The two in the middle are Kitty Hawk class, while the two on the ends are Forrestals.

I never quite understood the tactical role of the Hueys in Marine service - they seemed too small to carry troops like a Blackhawk and unnecessarily large and bulky to provide spotting and support like a Kiowa...and then I saw the videos above. Seeing most of the squad pile out of the helo, and then watching it take…

This. The Crosstour was an Accord that professed to be more practical and roomy without actually delivering on the promise and it was f*ck ugly. The first Crosstours were AWD, lifted, and only came with a V6 and all of the options. The value equation wasn’t there, nor was the practicality. When Honda eventually added…

F-16?

Hmm...I don't suppose the Harriers are stored at Davis-Monthan with the rest of the military's surplus aircraft. Brb, losing a few hours scouring the base on Google Maps for Harriers.

The RAF did a throwback (to the Cold War) paint scheme on one of their Harriers before they were all retired.

Hello, new wallpaper.

So, any turn sharper than what a fully loaded crude oil tanker can make?

I hate the buttons on my Focus with a burning passion, but they’re 5000 times better than the capacitive touch buttons on my fiance’s Edge with MyFordTouch...and that’s just the buttons. I won’t even get into the touch screen itself.

Don't mind me, I'm just hitching a ride.

Agreed. I don’t mind gray wheels, or even black wheels, as long as the rim itself has a machined lip to break up the visual mass of the dark wheel and black tire. Examples:

I see no AC belt, so it almost certainly doesn’t work. That, the ticking time bomb 3-speed, and price make this a CP in my book.

Satcom?

So...is that a reflection of the rear lights on the underside of the spoiler, or is there actually an epic CHMSL built into it?

Or leave the bridge are as is, and take out everything but the turbolasers and you have the Corellian Gunship.

That’s pretty mind blowing. I knew the V6 was V8 derived, but I assumed it was a shorter casting, like GM did with Chevrolet’s 4.3L and Buick’s 3.8L.

I’m curious as well. I’ve heard similar rumblings, but never heard any specifics so it would be nice to see it all laid out.

An original LeBaron convertible in mint original condition is mildly collectible as a period piece. But this ‘restomodded’ monstrosity? No way. It isn’t collectible at all, and is somehow uglier than an original. I think even K-car fanatics (yes, they’re out there) would turn their noses up at this.

Look up 2453 Arthur Kill Rd Staten Island, NY 10309 on Historic Aerials and be amazed.

TIL. And appropriately enough, here's a picture:
