  Peters next went on to remind Hannity that Obama would eventually no longer be president (which strikes us as not particularly germane to Hannity’s claim that he couldn’t recommend military service while Obama is president, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and then called the military “the one institution we must preserve at all costs.”

  From what I remember about the aluminum engine in the Chevy Vagina. The block was cast from high silicon content aluminum and the cylinder bores were etched so the silicon would protrude from the walls of the cylinders for the piston rings to ride on. I imagine it would work for a properly maintained engine but that little thing called "proper maintenance" never really happens for most vehicles in the real world. I don't think many customers liked being lab rats in GM's aluminum engine experiment. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
