This article makes no sense.

As someone who was there from Thursday afternoon on, it absolutely poured down rain from when they called it until the end of the podium festivities and then some. We left the track at 10:30 and it was still dumping down rain. Our team hotel is 4 miles from the track and I got soaked walking to and from my car just…

It’s been rainy and in the 60s and 70s here recently. Not very warm, especially going 70 mph on cold water.

Assuming a 2 hour, 800nm segment with a 737-700:

My bag has been a few pounds over (well, more accurately, my girlfriend’s bag) and it’s always been waived. Having elite status may have something to do with it, but as long as it’s within 3-4 pounds, I’ve never had any issue.

What is likely to happen is something along these lines:

Of course they aren’t, but what may happen is something like this:

It depends on a lot of factors. The most important of which is probably how old the signals are. Most cities who are shelling out money for new signals along a corridor are going to spend the little bit extra to interconnect them with wireless or fiber. But a random stoplight in the middle of nowhere is probably not…

If you are on a lease or under warranty (as I am with my TDI Sportwagon), you are required to get it fixed or you lose your warranty/break the contract of your lease.

VW is going to fix the issue under a recall. I would guess that a lot more than 10% will be fixed, since the “fix” will be completely free. At least half of the cars will be fixed, and I would guess some sort of program will be put into action to reduce the number of un-recalled vehicles on the road, since they are…

Civil engineer here.

I really ought to not feed the troll here, but if you think global warming (because of increased CO2 levels) has been a positive, you have no clue.

Absolutely, 100% wrong. The prices are going to plummet. Once a recall is announced, resale will stay low, because of the cost of retrofitting emissions control devices/the increased cost to operate the vehicle/bad press.

This is one of the worst ideas I have ever read. It’s the automotive equivalent of telling someone to buy Lehman Brothers in mass quantities in early September 2008.

Guys, I found the birther.

Here comes the devolving:

A lot of people can run that distance that fast. It’s only 11km and a lot of pretty average runners can do 10km in under 40 minutes.

I wasn’t super clear in my wording, but that’s what I meant. Only the FSI engines have carbon buildup. Bit of a pick your poison. Either you get carbon buildup or you get timing chain issues.

Same. I was going to say, this is just a better version of TNM.
