@skyfire77 If we are talking about fighting with external stores against tanks, I agree the A-10 isn't really better. Though I think its been decades since fighting tanks was a priority for A-10's.

I think of its missions is CAS for infantry in third world advisories where the gun is the primary weapon. There is where the A-10 has an advantage.

Now we can all agree that we are not sure exactly if there will ever be another Isis or Afghan conflict where it is needed. I hope not. And if there is not, then maybe its time to park it.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas It could be worse. When Frankfurt had to replace their runway, they couldn't shut it down. Each night, they would remove a tiny section and replace it with a special formulation of concrete that would cure enough to handle the next morning's takeoffs and landings. The challenge was that a bomb squad had to check for unexploded WWII bombs after the pavement was removed.

@i86hotdogs Happy birthday!

@whoistheleader I think we can only wish that people were that observant.

If you want to experience a real life Zombie horde, go to New Orleans.

Other life tip, don't go to New Orleans. Go to Charleston or Savannah instead.

@musashi66 More or less. If it's not a shitbox made by the Japanese, pretty sure it will be taxed to death. I had seen a Jeep Patriot proudly parked at a prominent parking spot in a high-end shopping mall too.

@wheelerguy Clever photo editing! I'd just say try to fade the two pictures together a bit more (shadow of the top car is rather soft), but other than that it looks awesome!

@glemon

Now THAT would have been something to see.

@awesomeaustinv they really are strangely cheap. Like this one for 4500. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/327036962509768/

@pip-bip Always liked that color scheme. And that body style was so much more faithful to Monte Carlos of old than the previous Lumina Coupe body.

But an automatic FWD is hardly what I'd call "intimidating"... Dale must be rolling in his grave.

@pip-bip tragic

Speaking from experience, don’t put any money in a rental that you wouldn’t mind losing immediately.

Ah, fair point. Just gotta clean it up, the floor is naaasty...

Not only that, it's a great way to lose your deposit. "You painted the walls? Well, I'm going to keep your deposit so that I can repaint the walls back to a neutral color."

Then they proceed to not paint the walls.

@mark-tucker I wonder if it would help to get an OBD extension cable and relocate the telematics dongle to a box with something inside to help cushion its movement...

@dr-zoidberg sell the Longboi on BaT

@mark-tucker rust? 😛

@wrong-wheel-drive

@glemon i did a coffee run with the porsche club in my sc, and at one point ended up behind a turbo s. we're on this 50mph road, in the middle of no where and the whole group starts slowing down. we come up to this 1/2 mile straight iwht a dip so you can see the whole lengh that everyone was doing launches. I thought "I'll try to keep up". the difference between 230 and 580hp is nuts. Just ran away if I was standing still. to go 30-60 for an on ramp, must just be a blip of the trottle

Here for the 'lumps.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas Yeah. Most aircooled folks I've met offline are SUPER EXCITED about A TYPE 4 EXISTS? which is, by default, a good vibe.

Especially the ST. I'd be down for a green ST, but unfortunately crossovers are only allowed to be automatic in our market, unless they're the pov-spec price leader that probably only exists on a spec sheet.

@whoistheleader Well, I am flattered that I can prove that your opinion is wrong 😂

@noodles That's awesome! I'm not sure how I feel about the Chev body-Ford tub combo, but it's a wild piece of design.
