F35 s Up Again/Honda CRV Turbo Engines

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I don't know what's up with fuel pipes these days but the US and Israel grounded their entire fleet of F35s after a Marine F35 crashed the other week and the cause was a defective fuel pipe. Now, that's been corrected and the fleets are airworthy.

Honda, meanwhile, has a major issue with its popular turbo engine in their CRV SUV. It seems that fuel is leaking into the oil and the engine doesn't get the lubrication it needs and you know what happens next.

I think it's fuel delivery problems all over again!

Providing support to ISIS:
"Kang gave them military gear and classified documents and agreed to teach them hand-to-hand combat in a video-recorded session he thought would be used to train other Islamic State fighters, according to federal prosecutors."

Don't Stuff An AK-47 Down Your Pant Leg

Posted By Rod Kaufman

I'm wondering if the thing was lying around in the house along the rest. That's not something you want to be doing, either...
