Hmmm. Time to stick up for the 'Nuge? Well, everyone in the mainstream media - and on this thread - says Ted Nugent is bad, but I don't think he's bad. I like him. He's a major voice for environmental stewardship, he has unique and valuable opinions - loudly, rudely voiced, like Jesse Jackson or Charlie Rangel (the…

Facts? Performance characteristics? No, but finely phrased personal feelings. Me? I like it! de gustibus non est disputandum: there's no accounting for taste. And by the way, couldn't the GT-R have been just a little better looking to begin with? Love the car, but it looks like my Infiniti, which, frankly, is ugly.

Richard Petty is not the Messiah, but he is fairly universally adored and has always been man enough to speak his mind, even if his thoughts weren't "popular." Understand he is from an era before the current level of commercialization and political correctness, and his thoughts about Danica are by no means unique. At…

Great article but sometimes I wish car people were as knowledgeable about munitions and weapons. For instance, no variant of the AK-47 fires anything that could be called "high powered round."

Call me crazy, but did anyone here mistake that car and that building for the view away from the river on Lungarno Corsini between the Ponte Vecchio and the Chiesa Battista in Florence?

"Strike," yes. Strike! After your feet can reach the pedals. And may the ironworkers and stevedores also strike! STRIKE! Everybody get Maserati! -Sergei M. Eisenstein.

Whoa, Honda! What a soundtrack... A blatant rip-off of Ennio Morricone! How did your agency get away with it?

Whether this is irrelevant anthropomorphism or from-the-hip personification, the appropriate response is surely: GO GO GO! SPACE HERO! WE SPORT YOU ARE THE BEST! (CUT TO: ARMSTRONG: McKayla "not impressed" face.) (CUT TO: ALDRIN: McKayla "not impressed" face.) Conread, Duke, Mitchell...

I'm a flag-wavin' right-winger with a few of the xenophobic tendencies that come from having lived and served in some unpleasant places... But I do like that "Citizens of the World" song video on their website. I suppose American Iron and good music have always served "world peace," one way or another...

I agree with you about Benghazi, WTC7... And Tonkin, probably. Sadly, Americans are very misinformed about Iraq. But I do agree with you, almost 100%. And you are right about governments and fear. Surely also you may admit that I am at least "1%" right about how some governments lie more than others! If not, speak…

Mary Jo. The coroner claimed Mary Jo survived for as much as three hours in the submerged car before she died. Teddy: Suspended from Harvard for cheating, years in Korea (well Daddy had him serve in Paris) never getting above rank of private (impossible but true,) 4 or more DUIs at UVA Law alone, mistaken votes on the…

This is where they put the bespoke googles and e-internets devices, handmade in china at a cost of a number of child employees.

Miura is a woman at her best: powerful, delicate, forceful, hairy, wide, and modest without a hint of self-consciousness. She surprises Europe still because she is everything a monarch and a communinst and an oligarch want to be, but can't be, because she is wickedly, wonderfully, delightfully, triumphantly free.

Having lived in Israel for many years this scenario is very common. Also, there are no bar fights. NONE. The reasons are peculiar. Beyond the existential threat under which all Israelis exist, there is the plain fact that almost all men are "family" men, and also know how to fight. (Trained, militarily, to end a…

Silly. Not enough room on a cassette tape box to cut coke. That's what CD jewel boxes are for.

Just because a boat is made of concrete doesn't mean it can't float! The ferro-cement (concrete) yacht craze of the 70s and 80s saw the construction of many vessels that are still cruising today. In fact, I sailed one not too long ago from Virginia to Bermuda. What's the "re-bar" reinforcement? Layers of…

Israel's car taxes are often in excess of 100%, and special luxury taxes hike that up beyond recognition. A buddy of mine paid about a million (thousand thousand) dollars for his Mercedes SLS. "Spooky!" was my comment, so he calls his car "Spooky."

You refer, surely, to the Topaz Topaz?

"Firing a gun while inside a car is a good way to deafen yourself, your wife and your infant child. Firing a gun with any accuracy while driving at speed is impossible." LOL. I've done both for a living. Ringing ears are better than a dead baby, silly.

Avoid a collision by "cutting the wheel and add throttle?" As a veteran offshore sailor who has fixed many a powerboat, towed them off, and watched one or two sink, I would add: SLOW THE HECK DOWN.
