If it was bigger, that would make a pretty cool wallpaper.

Jeff, I don't think that's a US Marine shooting.

Also, they are 'M' (Manufacturer) plates, so they are owned by either Porsche, another OEM or a Tier 1 or 2 supplier. Said 'dufus's' were being paid to drive those cars. What made them all Dufus's? The fact they were autos? Driving style? Jealousy?

Ok - point well taken. I was indeed the one in the souless 4 door.

Comment based only on a short stop-light dialogue where it was clear they knew nothing of the car, what transmission etc. I finally had to ask how many foot pedals?

But I'll take my lumps - they were also headed into the city, and I was headed to my desk.

If you check the image properties, you will see it came from Wikipedia, and that it shows "East_Timor_soldier_with_a_M14".

The soldier is shooting from the deck of a boat, with a US Marine Gunnery Sergent instructor, as part of the Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training

CARAT Timor-Leste is part of an annual bilateral exercise series between the U.S. Navy and the naval forces of Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand. As a longstanding venue in Southeast Asia, CARAT helps regional navies work together to address shared maritime security priorities during a series of cooperative training events and subject matter exchanges.

The Falintil-Forças de Defesa de Timor Leste (Tetum: Forcas Defesa Timor Lorosae, English: Timor Leste Defence Force) or FALINTIL-FDTL (often F-FDTL) is the military organisation responsible for the defence of East Timor. The F-FDTL was established in February 2001

I believe the photo was taken aboard the USS Kidd in 2014.

out for a spring drive

As Bob Wills used to say, "That's what I like about the South!"

I'm going to assume someone has hacked WB's account. If not, please seek help.

No.

I have, however, fired many thousands of rounds while out prairie dog or rock chuck hunting. Not so much for prairie dogs, but definitely for rock chucks, one of the more successful strategies is to shoot down from a high escarpment of some kind, across an intervening ravine, at an opposing rock face. Downward angles can get pretty severe; probably more so than from a ship's deck or high building. With the prairie dogs, we often belly up to the crest of a grassy knoll and shoot down.

The math looks good but they added the subtotal, tax, total and suggested tip...if this was a drunk sales guy entertaining clients it would go through!
