They're used in cold weather ?

Exactly.. And it's just going to get worse. The 'Chinese cars' part, not the 'lieing' part

For an every-day car i think we'll get an F150 with the 5.0. The 7.3 rides like a truck unless it's got the trailer behind it. It's not the best every-day car, so I'd rather save it for, you know, actual truck stuff.

I'm a dinosaur. I think my brain is allergic to unibody. To me, a turbo is just an added extra unnecessary expensive part to fail. My 3/4 truck and all the cars are all V8s, and it seems my next car will have to be another pickup truck. If I want a new big comfortable car now. F150s make a...

My street car for about fifteen years was the first-year CRX-Si. If it had been a rear-wheel drive car I might have replaced the engine again. But the year I replaced the CRX with a Grand Marquis was the year I won my first championship in open-wheelers. You would think that that defies...

You guys all scare me. No matter what color you are. But then, I scare myself more than y'all do

Yep. Sorry. I had P-51s on the brain and I started thinking about the Allison-to-Merlin switch when I started wondering whether he had an Allison or a Merlin in the P-51 he crashed. I think you meant to say that it was the P-51 that came into service mid-war And, like you said, the P-38 was...

Well, duh. Thanks That would probably make it sound different, ehh ? Actually, P-51s had drifted into my brain when I typed that. My dad bailed out of a P-51 once and I started wondering which engine was in the plane he crashed. But it was a stupid thing to not think b4...

I really like 12-cylinder engines. I've heard a P-38 with twin-Merlins. I wonder if the counter-rotating props sound much different. Gotta repeat that I'm a sucker for P-51s

And pump ethyl...

Idealistically, wouldn't it be more complete to start with a ten-speed and limit it to two-speeds ? Maybe even a 4x1 instead of 4x4....

Has anyone read "Horse Warriors" ? A band of Special Forces soldiers 'procurred' horses entered Afghanistan just after 9/11 and chased Taliban through the mountains on horseback. Great non-fiction, yet still hard to believe, book. Cavalry on horseback calling in smart-bombs. That's the story...

Yep. I call it a gun bag, not a gun case.

They don't have a Constitution that protects them, so I don't know what the few gun owners up there can do

When I bought a Glock, I got cleaning accessories, a (plastic) hard case, and included parts diagrams that were clearly readable on quality paper with it. I didn't realize that decent documentation wasn't the even the bare minimum until I bought a gun from Springfield. And, of course, I needed...

Cool Actually, I'll bet it was was pretty cold

My grandpa bought a new Corvair every year. That's when I learned what turbos were. I like them.

Ruger Vaquero ....

I saw a 'Combat Planes' TV show about the Chinook gunship with a view of it shooting all three guns at once. I'd hate to be a target The Chinook is the fastest helicopter we have. My dad flew lots of fighter jets, but the only model aircraft.he ever bought me was of a Chinook

From my place of ignorance having held a 1911 but never shooting it, I like the straight-forward simplicity of the 1911, but I'm curious about the devotees. Curious enough to buy one, but since I've just inherited a bunch of guns ( around ten rifles and maybe even ten pistols ) and I'm sure...
