Re: Insane new Lincoln 48-inch wide dashboard display

Granted, nothing is physically wired to anything anymore (a few manufacturers still make a low end interior package with real physical controls). It all goes through the cam bus, but usually the climate controls are a standalone unit, not going through the entertainment system logic. The other thing...

Toothpaste Pet Peeve

Okay, so here's three different types of Sensodyne toothpaste. Why are these even called different types, when all three have EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF THE SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENT?

Re: GhostWire: Tokyo

Well I can tell you about it now. Epic gave this away as a fantastic freebie a couple of month ago. I've been playing it ever since, and I just finished it.

Bullet carries a match

Wildest bit of video ever. Jump ahead to the 6:00 mark.

This is the behind the scene video. I watched the actual video yesterday.

Re: Insane new Lincoln 48-inch wide dashboard display

I have the same problem with the wife's Navigator. It has the fancier 15 point adjustment seats, but after a couple of hours it starts to bother my back, no matter how I adjust it.

My old Navigator seats, and my old work truck (2013 Yukon) are much better. I can drive either of those all day.

Insane new Lincoln 48-inch wide dashboard display

http://www.soldcentralfl.com/bob/Lincoln2024dash.jpg Next level of stupid. And I thought my wife's 2018 Lincoln Navigator's screens were distracting (I like to call her dash the 'neon lights and dancing elephants show'). And I'm not seeing any physical climate controls, so count me out. It's not th...

Mortar through the fender

This is going around social media as if it's from Ukraine, but the yellow stripe on any armament indicates it's a practice round. Can't tell what country as there's no visible markings. I'm guessing this wasn't an accident - they were probably using a junk car for target practice. http://www.soldcen...

Before there were paintball guns...

There was the Larc M19-A BB machine gun. You could power it with a can of freon (yes, we helped destroy the ozone layer) or they sold an adapter to power it from a compressor, as in the video. Four of us drove over to buy them directly from the manufacturer, located in Miami, sometime in the early 8...

Re: What is Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades? H3VR 2021 Review

Picked it up tonight, and it is. Ultra realistic modeling of the weapons. Took me a while to figure out where the cocking handle was on the G36. Messed around with a bunch of guns, then I played a few rounds of one of the missions. Friggin hard trying to realistically reload your pistol when a guard...
