I kinda wish they'd have let it keep going in order to get the telemetry. The altitude and velocity when things went sideways were in MRBM territory, not ICBM territory so the only thing they would have hit would have been the Atlantic

The older versions of this guide were way more "witty". The 4Runner would probably have had some quip about a roof top tent, balls in wife's purse. The Miata would have had the quintessential homosexual reference. The CTS wou

This. Exposure matters. Before social media and smartphones came together exposure was infrequent. Now it's nearly constant. It's like the difference between going to a restaurant where smoking is allowed and living with a chai
