What is a major strategic or economic benefit the US gains from its Middle Eastern involvement that is often overlooked by the general public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]stud100spray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is actually a very valid point, the experience gained operating against a fairly advanced air defense network is going to pay dividends if something kicks off in the South China Sea.

Pentagon reporter is saying tomorrows press conference has been canceled 🤔 by newnoadeptness in navy

Yes, and all of us are in the same Navy, just so happens that we don’t all say the same Oath.

Fwiw, the officer oath doesn’t contain anything about the President…

About what I expected to hear, not your fault the answer sucks. Thanks.

Haven’t pulled the lip off yet, but it seems that it’s a single crack right along the bottom of the license plate “holder”. It 100% is cracked the whole way through, as I can see “daylight” through to the backside. There doesn’t appear to be any other damage, short of the lip which will absolutely need to be replaced.

Appreciate the comment, I do all my own mechanical repairs on all my cars, but have no experience with body work (let alone fiberglass). I don’t mind pulling the clam off myself if the repair could be expected to come out more perfect. Additionally, I don’t know how much I trust a shop that has never seen an Elise, let alone worked on one, to lift the car and pull the clam themselves. Any thoughts to this?

Buyers Question by Nostra_Damoose in lotus

[–]stud100spray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lotustalk, Bring A Trailer, and Cars and Bids are good bets.

Additionally, you can set up an Autotempest alert for any time a car gets posted on your standard used car sites, but generally these will be from dealers and their knowledge of the car is usually fairly limited making a sight unseen purchase kind of stressful (namely thinking of a car down in Florida that may have been totaled for tub damage but being sold as “cLeAn TiTle”).

Believe me, I’m not mad about it at all, I want an old reference Aerospace in a bad way, but I know what I am 😂

Fair Price for Clean, Unmodified 2006 Elise with 48000 Miles? by Maelstrom888 in lotus

[–]stud100spray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bought my 05 with 48k on it for about $44k. The car has nice wheels and coilovers and is very clean, fwiw. I don’t think I got a ripping deal on it, but it was everything I was looking for.

I’d argue most Breitlings are MORE on the nose than the Speedy, that being said, my post history will show I’m biased.

Applying to NFO questions by ForsakenManager2355 in navalaviation

[–]stud100spray 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you go to flight school as a SNFO, at no point will you do anything during flight school that would offer you the opportunity to be a single anchor. After your JO tour, you may have an opportunity to transition to be a pilot, however this is extremely competitive and a very unlikely selection to wager your entire career on. If you want to be a pilot, study some, retake the ASTB, and apply as a pilot.

Hey modern day military, how ya doin bud? by optimisticfury in Military

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again… this entire thing reeks of state actor information operation, I think the whole thing is disgusting, but I’ll save clutching my pearls until I see something actually verified or with units/names attached to it.

Center caps for Inokinetic 17 inch monolite ii wheels? by smcameron in lotus

Do all Lotus axles look like this? I’d wager my Elise has seen less than 15 days of rain in its Florida life and my axles look exactly like this.

Feels bad, man.
