You still see a bunch of 20+ year V8s on the road because 1. small displacement, turbocharged engines for mass use are a relatively new development, especially in light trucks and 2. most people can't afford $40k+ for a new generation truck with a forced induction engine.
I mean, it ain't...
The 'standard' engine of GM/Ford/Ram has always been a V6 of some flavor, depending on trim.
You can very easily get a brand new GM with 5.3L V8 (2.7L I4 base), Ford with a 5.0L V8 (2.7L V6 base), or Ram with 5.7L V8 (3.6L V6 base).

Zero Foxtrots given on what kind of vehicle somebody drives.
Individuals:
Buy the vehicle
Insure the vehicle
Pay the fuel excise taxes for the fuel the vehicle consumes
You know what causes vehicle v. pedestrian accidents? DISTRACTED DRIVERS, not BroDozers.
OP, if you only have a Sport Pilot license and will be flying around Indiana, you'd be much better served with a SPOT than an airplane rifle.
You're not ever going to be far from rescue in the Great Lakes region; most remote area around here is the mountains of eastern TN/KY/western VA and even...
I recently posted a WTT because what I desire isn't readily available for purchase, and what I'm willing to part with also isn't readily available for purchase.
This is a feeler post....
I have an extra unopened 8lb jug of H4350 I'm willing to trade for 22LR match ammo....specifically SK Match.
I'd consider SK Standard or Long Range Match, Lapua Center-X or Midas+.
I'm in New Albany and would prefer to not drive further than Seymour or Leavenworth.
Agree that the first three-four seasons were the best...this most recent season felt a bit forced.
I personally find Ronnie and Daxy to be the most hilarious characters the last couple seasons...well, behind Shorsey anyway.
Its also much smaller, lighter, and “cleaner” for full-time use behind my entertainment center than a 24DC and inverter.
A small APC is perfect for the short-term outages OP describes.
Absolutely!
My point is that we have "imperfect" vaccines and have had them for a number of years.
The Janssen single-dose COVID vaccine is VERY good - its just the the mRNA vaccines knocked it out of the park in a way medical scientists never quite expected - and people should not feel as...
The average efficacy of the seasonal influenza vaccine at preventing symptomatic disease over the last decade has been estimated at less than 50%...and it isn’t fully effective at preventing hospitalization.
66-72% efficacy at preventing symptomatic disease is really quite good.
+eleventy for the X-22 recommendation.
IMO, a traditional rifle will encounter fewer potential state-by-state legal issues than any pistol will.
Reality is operating in the lower 48, you'd always be able to ping an airliner overhead on Guard, 406ELTs work really well, and if you really want...
Passengers tend to hate turboprops, but the reality is they are 1. safe and 2. very economical to operate compared to regional jets or even small narrowbodies on shorter routes. Biggest downside as a pax, to me, isn't the whirling thing out the window but being down in the weather moreso than a...
The Cirrus SR22 is the modern fork-tailed doctor killer...except the chute has meant fewer fatalities.
More money than experience will ALWAYS be an issue for some.
