The F4U to me is a much, much sexier looking airframe than any other aircraft of WWII. Those low-slung wings get me every time. I love walking into Udvar-Hazy and seeing one right over the end of the entrance catwalk.

Pretty much every report that they were unsafe and unusable was complete BS. As a matter of fact, the MV-22 has the lowest incident/accident rate of any Marine aircraft at less than half the average rate of the entire USMC fleet.

I got to see the Osprey do some pretty amazing maneuvers when I was doing my culinary externship down in Key West, FL back in '99.

Winding up in the future. The despair was absolutely palpable in that sequence.

Or is a country full of people used to waiting 48 months for a Lada patient enough to deal with no new SEATs?

As a driver of a '12 Legacy 2.5, I really wish I'd held out for the 6-speed manual instead of the paddle-shifting CVT, and it has more to do with it than just the control over shift points.

And this is EXACTLY why I have every old console I ever owned hooked up to a 57" HD-DLP console in the basement. I blew through Axelay on normal just a couple of weeks ago. Just did a 100% run in Super Metroid and am now back on Secret of Mana in a new playthrough.

Agreed.

"Arms installation complete; good luck"

So I kept my eyes up, and I trained them through the corner, and I kept my foot in it, and we soared clear through the turn. We were sideways the whole way through, and through the next turn, and safely onto the front straight. Beaming across my face. Screaming into the radio. Overjoyed. Elated.

Snow, though! Snow is wonderful. Snow is difficult to drive in, as proved by the number of cars you see in ditches in the wintertime, even in areas of this country where it snows every year. Here's the trick: not only is snow slippery — snow is soft.

Came here to say this, and it's granddaddy the BRAT.

You know, I'd much rather take a longer flight in that kind of luxury than a fast jet-powered one in the relative misery of today's flying cattle cars.

Neutral: Not resonating at all.

Why? My theory, and it's just a theory, is that Jeeps were exported by the U.S. military to outposts around the globe from WWII all the way through Vietnam. Around the same time, licensed copies sprung up in Asia, Europe and South America. The world knows Jeep.

Ultra low profile grille and hood to get the late teen/early twenty-somethings who will be driving it wedged under a tractor trailer more effectively.

The annual report catalogs the number of issues original owners of cars built in 2012 experienced over a year, and both voice-recognition and Bluetooth connectivity were the most frequently cited problems, not just in the first few months, but over the entire year.

"The fact that Iran struck the faux carrier with a barrage of anti-ship missiles, then swarmed it with small boats and then landed commandos on it, has to result in an unnerving mental picture for American and allied ships' crews prowling the Gulf."

Ack-Ack is not so much flack these days as it is Phalanx CIWS and (on newer carriers) the RIM-116 RAM missile systems.

Okay, I know I'm getting back to this really really after the fact, BUT.... The parents of one of my better friends in high school bought him a used Cimmaron as his first car. It made it from the estate sale where they bought it to his house, and then to the movie theater. That's where the entire electrical system…
