Sergio was a lawyer, and a car guy. He did well as CEO of FCA.

Make America colonial again!

We don’t have Top Gun style dog fights anymore because technological advances have made them obsolete. To this point, potential adversaries are continuously advancing their fighter and SAM/MRAAM capabilities. Without a jet like the F-35 to maintain air superiority then a jet like the A-10 is useless.

The problem with the A-10 is that it’s a one-trick pony. It’s a very capable one-trick pony but it’s totally dependent on air superiority, which makes it useful for fighting asymmetric wars and not much else. It also hasn’t been built in 34 years, so those airframes are becoming less and less capable as they age. The…

Technology is an essential, integrated part of the F-35 and this plane would fall out of the sky if it required the pilot to do anything beyond making decisions and telling the plane what he wants it to do. It seems silly to worry about cameras breaking in this scenario, when there are more essential systems with far…

What makes you think this is a lease?

Actually, in most collateral loans (such as auto loans and mortgages) the lender can pursue the borrower for the outstanding balance of the loan after the collateral is repossessed and sold. Typically this isn’t done for auto repossessions since it’s not worth the effort to collect this money from a person who doesn’t…

Everything is something, though; plus it wouldn’t be the first time the police misidentified a substance, at least this time the cops didn’t lock someone up over what was ultimately a parking violation.

The statute of limitations is a legal construct that recognizes the idea that it is nearly impossible to prove a claim beyond a reasonable doubt at trial in a court of law. This is also why many of the child molesting Catholic priests got away with their crimes; which by your logic you must not care about anymore,…

His girlfriend was born in 1989, while his daughter was born in 1998. Also, in California a full driver’s license can be had at 18. I know this is a messy topic, but is there really much difference between a 33-year old dating an 18-year old rather than a 16-year old? Both are kind of creepy, our society has just arbit…

The TSA costs $5.60 per passenger, per segment. It’s one of the most wasteful taxes in this country.

The Royal Navy has 4 tanker ships; in an operational theater they would refuel while underway and then send off the tankers for refueling.

It’s much easier to deal with the fallout of a worthless car than of a worthless house. The key difference is that cars are expected to depreciate, which limits the potential for derivatives based on auto loans. The price of houses was expected to keep going up forever, which led to excessive leverage in both the…

The Amazon page for those Logitech speakers is misleading. All of the reviews are for the computer mouse which somehow was listed as the same product, so I have no idea about the user reviews for the speakers. Pass.

A well-run CFA will serve upwards of 200 drive-thru customers per hour during the lunch rush. That’s about 15-20 seconds per car, even with a line of 30 cars around the building that’s still less than 10 minutes wait. Your local mall food court must have very convenient parking options, because at the mall near me it…

It’s sad that the German people have been cucked by anti-German propaganda, just like they were with anti-nuclear energy propaganda.

No true Scotsman would buy a factory-prepped drag car.

Buyer received concurrence on the viability of CTS-V and E63 wagons, and further sincere suggestions for the F31 wagon and X5M. This series has had wink-nudge suggestions since the beginning, when did y’all start taking yourselves so seriously?

Have you seen the kind of cars David buys? If he was into BMWs instead of Jeeps then he would own at least one clapped-out V12, if not more.

If you’re looking for a blog that takes itself more seriously, might I suggest literally any other website?
