Don’t these use the same B-series engine as the Miata? NP because it’s rare, unusual, and because they’re surprisingly decent cars to drive in base model form so a hot-rod version would probably be fun.

Prvi Partizan was $0.70/round last time I bought it, so you’re talking $35 for 5 magazines, plus shipping. That’s about what other new production, full size military cartridges ( 7.92x57 Mauser, 6.5x55 Swedish, 7.5x55 Swiss, 7.5 French, 8mm Lebel, etc) cost. The real issue is finding FMJs in stock. Most shops only

I’ve seen a few LGT wagons, but only one stick. I wish Subaru still made cars that cool, but we’re going to have to wait for trends to reverse for anything remotely like them to come back to market. I hope there a few wagons out there when I have the time and space to buy one, but I’m not optimistic.

Did the Syrians actually fight? I was under the impression they were assigned to guard the border because they weren’t the most enthusiastic supporters of the campaign.

TIL CH-46s were painted in camoflage. I’ve only ever seen them in gray and Vietnam-era green.

WHAT?!?

This is it boys and girls, this is the future - the lowered crossover. When everyone is driving crossovers, people will look for alternatives. Someone will remember how much better ‘low’ riding sedans handled and how much better they look. But people won’t want to give up the room or AWD of a crossover, so the car

So speaking of ads, what was the “ramjet aircraft” concept they were using in the engine anyway? Taking in air at the front and releasing exhaust at the rear?

They’re probably similar, but the Genesis’ interior looks even more snazzy. I’ll plop my rear in both at the next auto show and find out for sure!

Glossy black interior panels suck. All they’re good for is showing fingerprints and dirt. The same could be said for touch screens too, but I already know I’ve lost that argument.

They’re better than all black, and WAY better than chrome. I say keep ‘em.

Oh, I’d never buy one, nor would I ride in the back if I ever did buy one. However, they’re great fun to sit in when visiting the NYIAS.

That makes two of us. The Kia K900s back seat is already amazing, so I’m eager to see how much better the new Genesis is.

ABM systems will never be able to handle all out nuclear war until we have lasers, or some other system capable stopping dozens or hundreds of missiles swarming at one from many directions. GBMD is capable of taking out a very small number of missiles at once, especially when you consider it’s indifferent accuracy.

Honestly, I think the Ukrainians are in a good position to attack the eastern rebels this year. With the Russians busy in Syria and hemorrhaging money, there’s a possibility Putin won’t be able to effectively bankroll the rebels or send his own troops in to prop them up.

MLRS is mobile. Unless the Russians track them constantly, the MLRS isn’t vulnerable. It doesn’t have a large train of support equipment, it doesn’t require a large preconfigured area to set up in, and it doesn’t give off easily detected signals when operational.

Yuck. The wheels the only shiny bit of that car, and stick out like a sore thumb. Give me satin finished aluminum or polished face/painted inner surfaces any day.

Rain sensing wiper cameras are usually located here as well, and are worth cleaning off.

This is definitely it’s best angle. It looks menacing and modern from this angle.
