...and what happened to whatever it hit.

Sweet, it has nav!

I feel like it’s been a month or two. Maybe all of the failure prone parts have been replaced?

This. 4 cylinder Accord is best Accord. Even the SOHC 2.2L engines from the mid ‘90s were great motors, especially if you got the VTEC ones in the EX.

It’s not half bad in Sport mode, but even then you have to drive it with big, aggressive throttle motions to keep it in the right gear. And under most circumstances, Sport mode keeps the car out of 6th gear. I wish Sport mode was the normal shift logic and Sport mode is VW DSG-quick.

Yeah, you have to rev the piss out of the 2.0L to get the car moving with authority. Above 3500rpm it gets a decent growl and pulls well, but below that power is pretty weak. It kind of reminds me of a Honda in that regard. It’s pretty fuel efficient, though. I get low to mid 30’s mpg wise except in bitterly cold

f you must have the fastest Skittle on the road the Glut Orange, Viper Green, Vegas Yellow cars will carry a price of $59,900

Yum. I’m a wildberry fan though. The melon berry candy car would be delicious cool.

Keep in mind that this mission was not a targeted strike on an individual - it was a strike on a fixed HQ. Some asshole posted a picture bragging that he was at a headquarters. The Intelligence officers found it and probably ordered satellite pictures, drone surveillance, and/or electronic surveillance. That confirmed

The E30 is a much simpler car, mechanically and electrically (no VANOS, simpler engine management system and emissions, simpler cabin electronics). For an occasional daily driver or weekend fun car, the older and simpler E30 will probably be easier to keep running in the long run.

I’m no expert, but the rust looks superficial and the major wear items aren’t too hard to fix (with the possible exception of the AC - that might snowball). This seems like a cheap way to get a cool car. Buy, put $2k into and have a great, fun driver. NP

I’m waiting for the Norris Packard Custom version myself:

The worst part is that the Bushmaster version is the only one available on the civilian market and, in typical fashion, they blew it. Supposedly the LEO & .mil only Remington version is much improved. Caliber conversions and shorter/longer barrels would be nice to.

Did he rent the C-130 to carry his ego?

Stupid question: would the average Korean be able to read the sign, and therefore catch the irony?

As much as I’d love one, I’m getting married this October so there isn’t much fun money to go around, and my Focus is a good enough daily driver that I’d crazy to get rid of it for an (admittedly cool) older Subaru.

Watching this video and seeing how often the F-16 pilot looks at his target, and then down at the IP and HUD, and then back to the target really gives an idea how transformative the VR helmet of the F-35 will be if they actually get it working. Being able to to display almost all of the the HUD’s information on the

A toll plaza traffic jam picture that isn’t of the NJ Turnpike? Impossible!
