From the ecoboost, to GM's displacement on demand .....we can't engineer reliable engines anymore.  How the hell are we going to land man on the moon for the first time in 2028?

Uh, to establish a base.  To further exploration.  To make my Destiny (video game)  dreams come true of killing the hive and crota and saving earth.


I mean really dude.  If anything....to prove it can actually be done.  Instead of lies.  Lies Lies.  Government lies.  Deceptive government Auto makers.....lying about engines promised to go 60k miles and no more.  The days of 200k mile engines...as long as you change the oil.....are over.  Even if you do everything right.....the engineers have already "baked in" timed obsolescence..

Correction; automobile manufacturers CAN build reliable cars and trucks. Sometimes the problem is government mandated silliness other times it’s driven by cost-per-unit savings that drive unreliable engines and overall low quality vehicles.

Either way we the consumer are left with vehicles that barely make it past the warranty period before lots of stuff quits working correctly 

And that is totally by design from every car maker.

Was designed in the 60s to take astronauts to Saturn in 5 stages. The sr 71 according to Wikipedia traveled over 13500 mph. Still blowing hot air out of a big bottle rocket. Maybe you need some education. Bum tuck.

Everything is good with weed . The new generation computers will solve everything. Aviate navigate and communicate. Too worried about what's on your I pad cell phone or other electronics than actually looking outside and piloting the aircraft. Geese. Almost time for a yengling black and tan. Hold my beer
