Some day I need to see if I can find my Super 8 vid of a "tug of war" between a M37 and a U404 UNIMOG.
Oddly, the M37 won.
By a massive margin.
Granted it had a bed full of water tank, but still.
It stalled out the Benz, and drug it around like a rented whore, basically saying "Fuck yo portal axles!".

I can think of one Democrat that isn't having a blue wave this November:
 
 

Might be a repost. But I might not care. This is something I've dealt with in the past.

The President signed legislation to provide funding for ocean trash cleanup.

My favorite part is when they launched the red race truck and just nose-dived. 
 
That's like... 40k worth of work done on the truck itself. For racing. 
 
And the guys that jump them have two giant tires weighing down the bed so that it sits flat in the air.

Yeah, doorknob Five-Two, was the first adult book I ever read, I read the version know as Kohn's War.  I loved the book, and was really disappointed to find out the Author had made up a bunch of stuff up about himself.   
 
 
The mechanics who kept aircraft like the P-38 flying, often in terrible conditions, and through the night, were the unsung heroes of the Air War.  When you read about the 5th Air Force in the dark early days of 1942, into 43, was so low on airframes and spares, they were putting aircraft together from 3 or 4 wrecks! Every P-38 the 5th Fighter command lost in 42 into 43 was a HUGE loss, and when they wanted to do an all P-38 Air Group, (the 475th), they had to take away all the 49th Fighter groups and others P-38s to do it, and the Air Force couldn't send new pilots or maintainers so he had stripped the pilots, and take people from his non combat staff! He was able to do this because they found a large number of Chinese refugees(if I recall right) being held by the Australian Government, and was able to use the suitable ones in some staff and housekeepings roles, freeing up GIs.  In my opinion, George Kenney was the most brilliant Air Force Officer of the war. 

Shoddy QC!. I can count the number of radiators I swapped in my Toyota, and have four fingers left!
Over one million miles, on the same radiator.  (And alternator). Those 80's toyota trucks were fucking stout!

US ski season starts Saturday; https://kdvr.com/2018/10/10/wolf-creek-ski-area-to-open-saturday-says-it-will-be-first-in-nation/

Missed that part. Good catch. 
 
I don't mind if someone wants to live in a delusion. But treating it as anything but a disorder means we purposely ignore the phycological issues these people have. 

Drill, baby! Drill!

Production at GMT 1 is expected to peak at 25,000 to 30,000 barrels a day, the company said. It is the second producing oil field within the borders of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, or NPR-A, a vast federal land unit on the western side of the North Slope.

"“Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The ATF has withheld records for over three years concerning the Obama administration’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.”
 
At this point, the FBI, Secret Service, Federal Marshals or similar not raiding the main offices of the BATF and arresting people is unacceptable. 
Disband, arrest and deport, or admit to the nation that the BATF and all involved are now "repulsive and odious varmints of the highest order" and thus open game. 
 
Every dealing I have ever had with the BATF has left me feeling the need to bathe in bleach and rubbing alcohol. 

$8,800 for a plain jane 1972 Chevy Nova?
 
What sort of madness is this? FFS, there's not even a photo of the motor!!!
