A-10 Warthog. I liked this airplane in the 1980s. I never saw clips of what it could do back then. I just used my imagination when I read the descriptions of its purpose and roles in warfare. I knew what a Gatling gun is/was...I knew what it could do. I read tales about it for when it cut down soldiers during the American Civil War with ease so I kinda had an idea what destruction the A-10 would be doing 120 years later (through a1980s POV) with a much improved and steriod induced Gatling would do.... I always that she was a beautiful bird.... But, F-16s and F-4 Phantoms and MiG-29s and F-15s and MiG 25s and Dassault Mirage 2000s were what my dreams were made of back then non-the less... I just saw this clip Just to say...that the A-10 just shot up my favorite modern airplanes list to make it to the top 10...possibly top 5...

I came up with a joke ... Q: How does a person learn to fix Toyotas? A: They go to appliance repair school. Feel free to laugh ...

Found this on Jalopnik, Mercury built LS7 NA V8 putting out 750 HP on 91 Octane. https://jalopnik.com/this-750-hp-ls7-crate-engine-from-mercury-racing-will-s-1823828455 Nothing like taking a GM supplied 505 HP motor and redoing the heads and increasing the HP by 245 to a neck snapping 750 HP. Redlines at 8,000 rpm You get a fully tuned ECU and Wiring harness to go with the engine. 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty Cost $32,995

I think If I were to buy a new car I would strongly consider something from jeep. Very impressed with jeep lately.

Hello to the group. My name is ocn, and I'm a car-aholic. Today I spent the afternoon cruising the lots looking at new vehicles, it was a decent pre-spring day. I stopped at Ford, and sawr a stunning Crimson Mustang GT, a bitchin' orange Fiesta ST, a few sweet F-150 XL regular cabs... a honkin' white F-250 regular cab 4X4, and a blue Ecosport SES. I went to Dodge and Jeep and sawr some nice Ram 1500's (old style) and new Wranglers (EXPENSIVE!). I cruised the Toyota lot and did not see any extended cab Tacomas. Honda and Buick-GMC yielded a real nice trio of Regals (2 Sportbacks in red and blue and a white Tourx), odd new Terrains (that are growing on me), a Berry Encore with Brandy leather (sharp) some CR-Vs in a gorgeous Olive Pearl color, and a bunch of Fit Sport manuals. Chevy has a blue Volt LT for $36k, three Sonic hatches (one in a neat Ivy Metallic color... but without turbo engine) and a LONG line of Colorados that have not changed or depleted in months (are ppl waiting to see the new Ranger?). Then I came home and went off on a tangent... Hyundai Kona Limited in Lime with black leather/lime accent interior. We currently have 5 or 6 Konas where I work, but none of them are an interesting color... although the gray with black/lime accent leather could be cool... and I learned facts... Kona has more space inside than CX-3, even though it is shorter in length... plus an available 175-hp engine. I was in a dream state everywhere I looked. I am certain if I won the Powerball, I'd spend all of it on cars... after I pay off my house and complete some remodeling projects, and help my famiry pay off their debts.

I havent seen one Continental yet in La Belle Province....and I live here! Probably the only one sold in Quebec you saw...Id buy lottery tickets if I were you! And yes...I am happy that you get to visit our Province from time to time. Mont Tremblant is such a great place. You dont even have to ski. Just take in the sights and sounds of the place. (bars and restaurants and quite expensive boutiques...)

Happy St. Patrick's Day, folks. I will be having dinner at an Irish tavern I know of.

Ireland's calling

More power to ya! Some of that 'synth stuff' certainly was catchy, and it's very light so it can be fun. Or so I assume. For the first time in decades, I've made a distinct musical preference change. 'Destructured' is how I think of it. Something soothing about the throb of industrial machinery over distant screaming ~ https://mydeepdark.bandcamp.com/track/deepdark-emily-rose Or perhaps I'm simply in the early stages of a mental delamination. :shrugs:

The Continental name wasn't the problem, the lackluster car built on a Fusion chassis was.

Very cool, Have not seen Paisley in a long time and it works on this. I can go for the white interior with the Paisley seat section and lower door trim that would help hid dirt and foot hits that leave dirt marks. Smart layout. Love it!

Digging that crazy upholstery pattern; '57 Eldorado Seville ~

I don't what this is, but I like ~

Which begs the question: are they cunning linguists?

Yes, those fins on that...car... do cause severe blind spots. I'm actually typing this by memory of the keyboard. Please let me know if I hit the wong key.

Talk about BLIND SPOTS with those fins!

SMK's gonna be mad. You didn't blur his license plate.

A valiant but hugely misguided attempt to take a boring, craptastic 2-seater, and class it up. Jeers.
