The green car, sorry I should've been more descriptive...Judging from where the center of the camera is pointed in the first half, it looks like a white SUV.

Hehe, I was just joking with ya bud, Unfortunately I'm not very good with recognizing cars.The green car, sorry I should've been more descriptive...
What car is this? I thought it might be a 60's Skyline or 510 Bluebird or something...
It's about a '66 Dodge Dart.What car is this? I thought it might be a 60's Skyline or 510 Bluebird or something...
I don't get a good look at the taillights in that clip, but maybe a mid/late 60's Plymouth Valiant???
Ahhh thanks man. 👍 Looks exactly the same as in the pictures posted above.It's about a '66 Dodge Dart.
I don't feel this warrants its own thread at all, but is there a symptom or name for when your vision gets real blurry out of the blue?
I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow to have this checked out, as my vision started to go on the road today, and I wanted to know if I could look up more on this. This usually happens 1-2 times every few months, but it's starting to happen more often, sometimes even so, that I can barely see (just at the point where everything is blur; nothing can be made out).
I'd just like to do some research on this tonight to make sure I don't discover my vision could be going, or need some kind of immediate attention.

Muzaffar MusaSee that two bubble thingy right next to the quote button? Thats the multi quote button. If you click it, there would be a green + sign there to confirm that you have done it correctly.
Usually when I double quote I just type out the quote things, then I scroll down and copy and paste the sentences I want. Watch I'll do it now:
Yes, all aircraft must attain 20,000km/h to escape the pull of earth and enter orbit. Any slower and you will be pulled back into the atmosphere (aka ballistic trajectory).Is escape velocity the absolute speed that any craft exiting the atmosphere must attain? Or, can a parasite aircraft possibly exit the gravitational pull of the Earth at under 20,000km/h?

Well stated. 👍Whichever way you read an acronym, if it starts with a vowel sound, treat it as a word that starts with a vowel.
MiG -- "mig" (at least, that's how I say it), so it's a MiG.
MG -- "em-jee," so it's an MG.
ROM -- "rahm," so it's a ROM.
RX-7 -- "arr-ecks-sev-in," so it's an RX-7.

MG and RX-7 are not acronyms.
An acronym is any abbreviation or concatenation which can be read as a single word.
Acronym literally means "A word made from the initials of other words". Like an acrostic, which is a word made from the initials of other words on successive lines/paragraphs.
FBI, TMI, IMO, BBC and NHS aren't acronyms. NASA, OPEC, LASER and RADAR are acronyms (the latter two being subverted since then into actual words).

MG and RX-7 are not acronyms.
An acronym is any abbreviation or concatenation which can be read as a single word. With MG and RX-7, you are pronouncing every individual character. With ROM and MiG you pronounce them as if they were words - thus they are acronyms.
So then to answer the original question, they are read as words starting with whatever letter eg.
A NASA space station.
An OPEC something-or-rather.
Which brings me to my next question, what's OPEC?
Correct.
The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
