There’s also still a possibility, albeit slim, that either the US DoD or one of the big US cargo companies under DoD contract places a last minute order as there are currently no other planes in production anywhere in the world that can transport our larger equipment.

Emphasis on “dead”.

Wait, you mean to tell me that this scene wasn’t realistic? You’ve totally shattered my worldview!

I said above, my 2003 LE Corolla with aluminum alloy wheels (I think most were still steelies at the time) and the ‘nicer’ stereo package at least was $16,007 to me out the door.

I bought my Corolla in ‘03 (as an ‘03 model). One of the things I liked (or came to like) was that I felt like I was sitting up higher than the Honda Civic (which my college roommate had, and I’d gotten to drive a few times, and cross-shopped the Corolla with). I mean, you feel the wind more as a result, but even now,…

Some of the cars that people are most enthusiastic about are the least reliable ones.”

I really find it hard to believe that you could replace the B52 for less money with a more modern airframe and the same operational requirements.

I was wondering if I’d missed a series. I know I saw the first series with the new (now-current) lineup, but I had to swap my DVR since then, so it’s not set up to record Top Gear any more. Although I’m not sure I’ve missed it in its current iteration anyway. 

I was wondering when this all started how the extra electricity of having myself and my son home all day (and my wife home even more than she normally is) would stack up versus the reduction in gas costs for the car, and after ~3 months, I think I filled my car up once, maybe twice since the WFH orders, and my…

Nah, I got burned with all the delays in getting GT5 out onto PS3. 

That’s the sorta issue I have with “Cleanse” - like, I see where it can come off as insensitive/racist/whatever, but it’s specifically referring to the game mechanics. (Versus Invoke Prejudice up there, which, god, yeah what were they thinking.)

I suspect if he just parks it next to his others, it’ll pick up rust by osmosis alone...

Right, that’s why I was wondering if someone knew for sure.

Now I want to know if that rear dolly has independent steering (like hook-and-ladder style) either from the cab or from somebody at the back, or is just free-wheeling (not sure if that’s the right term). And I’m almost surprised they were allowed to run GV 152 (metric) tons down the roads (and that it weighed that…

on the other side of the Iron Curtain it was viewed with some skepticism as perhaps a US ploy to get out of the difficult and expensive effort.

I forget which specific program I saw it on, but I saw that JFK by 1963 was worried enough about the progress of the NASA stuff that he was discussing with his staff approaching the Soviets to turn it into a joint mission to the moon instead of a race... I can’t remember if he felt it had gotten on track enough or if…

...What pin was this even? I was a Cub Scout in the ‘80s, and a Den Leader for my son’s Pack now, and all I can think of is rank badges (there’s more now) for the young ones. You earned some for specific Webelos things, and I know that (now at least) there are some specific awards that are pins, but I haven’t the…

I had the Chamber of Secrets one. I either missed something or it got buggy very early, and I couldn’t find the piece(s) I needed for a build to carry on with the game, so I gave up. Fortunately, LEGO Star Wars (the first one) came along not too too much longer after, and things were better.
