    Where is Humanity headed?

    I'd like to see some perspectives on this topic. We went though a war, then a financial crisis, and now we face a global conflict with China and possibly Russia(Some say Russia is more dangerous), because of tense relations and geopolitical hurdles. There are also other facets of problems, such...

    Fake eBay clone site - iPhone

    The ad appears to have vanished, maybe it's because eBay caught it because Saturday is a busy day for eBaying. I knew this was one of those scenarios.... If it sounds too good, then it's a [censored] scam.

    Fake eBay clone site - iPhone

    I'm not sure what to think of this sale. The listing states that the devices and New. The seller has perfect feedback of over 5000, but I don't see any feedback for these iPhone, which apparently almost 300 have been sold. What do you all think. A 7+ 128Gig for $550 is just crazy. The listing is...

    Koenigsegg 248mph without gearbox

    I like the Swedes... Too bad Saab died they were a brand that set the Swedes apart from the rest. Volvo can't do that anymore since VW makes a ton of 5 cylinder motors

    Is AWD in racing really worthwhile?

    I've been wondering about the upcoming super compacts. The Gold R, Focus RS, STi. I keep hearing AWD sucks if you have a typical VTEC Honda, because you can just pull by. Honda seems to be stepping away from the ultra high revving K series, F Series and the NSX C30/32. Is AWD really worthwhile?

    Mazda should scrap any Rotary and focus on Furai

    Is this type of motor friendlier to mis-shifting from say 3rd to 2nd. Miss-shifting plagued the RSX Type S and I think the FG Civic Si. If you didn't catch the revs you could bend the valves, crack the cams, and flat out blow up the K20 and K24 motor. Is the rotary more forgiving?

    Mazda should scrap any Rotary and focus on Furai

    I know this car was a concept that caught on fire, and to this day the chard remains are of unknown location. Mazda had a Rotary hybrid possibly in the works, but I'm not sure how that would work out. Doesn't the Rotary need to rev out fully for health reasons? Do they plan to use 0w20. This...

    What to do with a sluggish economy.

    I think the biggest problem that we face as a nation is our crippling national debt, which mathematically cannot be paid, coupled with the massive student loan bubble, which no one knows when it'll burst. Lastly, our social inequality; there's no more middle class, only poor and rich.

    What to do with a sluggish economy.

    I'd like to know what some of you think about the ailing economy; sure it's gotten somewhat better, but people are very frugal now. I'm not sure what would happen if the market crashed again, because we have exhausted everything in our arsenal to slow/stop a downturn. Should the economy...

    So a friend and myself went to a Korean supermarket in Virginia to shop, but to experiment with Sake and Soju; the first being Japanese and the latter being Korean. We both got unbelievably sick the next day. The hangover was nothing like wine or Vodka/Gin. Ive also wondered why rice liquor is...
