    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    It was a landing, slowing down in rain with relatively little fuel, crash damage is a function of kinetic energy not momentum. On 9/11 the huge fuel reserves burning heated up the beams enough to buckle under load.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Traditional locking diffs run open unless you manually lock them. If you lock them for normal driving, on a road, like every other lifted pickup, you'll have all kinds of problems attempting to turn. From skipping/dragging tires at low speeds to destroying the drivetrain at highway speed. Not...

    Investing General Discussion

    Fags at the EPA effectively banned them, as well as basic subcompact cars (Toyota Yaris/Honda Fit etc.) Some cheap subcompacts should be returning as well.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Nintendo now is still a money printing machine even though they don't dominate the market. They don't offer anything physical most of the time, stay near full price long after release since used & rentals are fairly locked out. Those games on your image came in pretty costly carts along with...
