This is fucking dumb.

EDIT: Apparently the class involves the teaching of rifle marking and rope knotting. What the hell is this?

Trying to figure out "rifle marking".

Is this rifle making? Or marksmanship? Or something else entirely?

I have the mental image of a class busily decorating their rifles. Perhaps choosing competition colors, the way you personalize your kung fu weapons for tournaments.

Addendum to my post since I can't edit it anymore: I do think the phrase "more emotional" is a loaded one and wouldn't use it

Especially since men are much more emotional and at the mercy of their hormones. Irrational anger, lack of tolerance for frustration, and aggression are much more typical of the male of the species.

Is it automatic?

5 speed, of course. Who would buy an automatic?

Then my second question is how? W58s go for $5k alone, let alone the rest of the collectable mk4.

MA61 Supra MKII, the P-type, with all the good factory options, fiberglass fender flares, wide wheels, roof-mounted wing, limited-slip differential. The one with the Lotus-designed suspension. The one that looks like a DeLorean from the rear and a Mustang Mach 1 from the side. Great piece of machinery!

NOTE: seriously? $5k for a W58? Wow!

Yes, that's a real thing! I bought my Supra for $1200, have put another $4000 in it, including the custom 2 1/2" catback exhaust.. The turbo Celica, $3200 plus $3000. Just replaced the timing belt on the Celica, shop wanted $600, I did the work myself with less than $100 in parts.
