AFAIK there was only this supersonic ejection. The pilot survived, his backseater did not.

But then you do get a great drivers car.

I present to you the BAC Mono and its... trunk? Pretty sure you can fit a wallet & cell phone in there. Probably not an iPad though.

You forgot, he's also going to twin turbo those outboards. And I hear he prefers John Deere outboards though they are getting harder and harder to find these days.

Am I the only one around here who doesn't really think that these Maseratis look very good? To me it looks like a Jag that is sucking on a lemon.

In this case... not very well.

Just remember, the shuttle mounts black side down.

Is it just me or is the right rear tire on the F1 mounted backwards?

Semi-submersible. Can't quite go all the way under, but gets low enough in the water to be a little bit stealthier.

It would appear so. Here is a little more info on it. Its a pretty cool concept, but I'm not sure how much stealth you really gain with the semi-submersible design. Apparently enough that it is worth investigating.

Depends, are we talking paint or wallpaper? Do I have access to proper equipment? If its paint, is it lead based? Do I have to do a good job, or can I just half ass it?

True, I wouldn't trust it structurally, but really body panels aren't structural even on a unibody car.

Wouldn't you be able to patch up CF much the same way that you can patch up fiberglass? Really both materials are an epoxy resin matrix that is reinforced with fiber material. The difference being fiberglass uses glass fibers and carbon fiber uses... well, carbon fibers. I assume there are differences in the epoxy…

But it would seem that if your car was stolen you would either remember your own plate number, or if not you would have a registration that would your plate number on it. The only logical conclusion is that the DMV does give out the information to you if you are planning on stealing the car.

So about that LeMons comment. When you said "more on that soon" I sort of expected it to be mentioned again. Or is a follow up track review in the works?

Euro brand name for Fords diesel engines. And what nice diesels they are, though my experience was limited to the diesel in the Focus a couple years ago.

Yeah, it really seemed like something that you wouldn't get used to. Trying to use the controls was just very unnatural and non-intuitive. I'm sure to some extent you would be able to adapt, but I think it still would be incredibly frustrating trying to use touch controls on a daily basis in a car.

I'm not so much anti touch screen. I just don't think that should be the primary UI in a vehicle. Really you shouldn't have to take your eyes off the road to do something like change the vent location or manually tune the radio. I'm fine with the touch screen being able to control things like the radio or nav. …

Its not limited to old people. MFT as done in the Edge and others that have no physical buttons completely sucks and is one of the main reasons that my S.O. chose an Escape. During our test drives we found the "touch" buttons finicky at best and dangerously distracting at worst. They are completely non-intuitive to…

Well seeing as how its Constitutionally mandated that all budget items originate in the House, it can be argued that the whole TARP fiasco is a huge overreach on the part of the Executive branch. Sounds like Ryan was actually trying to do his job by overseeing how the money was spent as opposed to giving the…
