it is both cheaper than and more useful than the two other ford models built on the same platform (escape, bronco sport) and seems to also get better mileage (at least the hybrid version)

hard to find a lot of info about them, but proposed western WIG aircraft were designed to be able to get to 10-15,000 feet to be able to do short overland flights and avoid bad weather.

my point was mainly that the Mars wasn’t the second biggest and might not even be in the top 5 depending on how you count.  you might…

Caspian Sea Monster had the ability to fly out of ground effect, but it was terribly inefficient when doing so.

BTW, all 3 versions of the Ekranoplan were bigger than the Mars..

so, at best it is the third largest, behind the spruce goose and the Saunders-Roe Princess...

because they explicitly excluded it.

merc, alpine and ferrari were in a position to do that. customer teams not so much as they don’t control the engine mapping modes the manufacturer makes available. Merc had the freedom to do whatever they wanted with engine mapping, RB was dependent on honda to make that kind of thing available and honda would not…

engine spending is not covered by the cost cap, so it had zero impact.

they absolutely were 100% in compliance with the words of the engine rules. but if you go back to when those rules were set, it was to avoid excessively punishing honda who came to the game late, not to provide an opportunity for a competitive advantage.

MotoGP is definitely more exciting racing.  just wish it was on a TV channel that actually existed.

boo hoo, the best driver in the best car won.

hard to get parts for F-150s over there....

well, yes and no. your freedom fighter is my terrorist and vice versa.

our unconditional support of Israel and support for various repressive regimes throughout the region certainly earned us a target on our backs and Iraq 2 Jihadi Boogaloo was a war that should never have happened, but on the other hand, we do not…

I am interesting on hearing your experience with Cruise America. from what I can see their RVs are absolutely the bottom model produced and they want an awful lot of money to rent them. are they well maintained? did you have any issues? what was the all in cost for however long you had it and how many miles did you…

there should be a continuous flow of beater Toyota Hiluxes for conversion into Ukrainian “Technicals” - learn something from the terrorists we’ve been fighting the last 30 years. they are cheap, durable, agile and effective.

no, it (the G-wagen) was made as a masturbatory exercise for a rich guy who will never ever take it off road.

it is also a hack job (jack job?), just one with a prestigious name attached to it.

funny, weren’t you spooging all over yourselves over a even dumber custom 6 wheel G-Wagen just a few weeks ago?

any time I let my wife take the car to get inspected.

this is all cool and fine, but come the apocalypse (you know it is coming soon) you would be better off learning how to farm, bake bread, cure meat, make cheese and otherwise preserve food.

a T-Bucket is a great way to not be able to complete your bucket list before kicking said bucket.

so not ACAB? just MCAB?

hope she gets a commendation or something instead of a bill for damaging government property.
