OK...I’ll be the one to ask. If you knew you were going to make a trip to pick up the chair beforehand, why didn’t you charge the car the night before?

Or are you one of these folks that wants to look cool (or be “green”) driving an EV and has no way of (reliability) charging where you reside? I have noticed a…

It would be smarter if we did away with taxes on productivity (ie., income taxes) entirely and shift to a consumption based system.

Explain to me how he’s incorrect.

And both died in the same plane crash, no less! 

Airline and those countries’ licensing/regulatory agencies.

There are only so many actual OEMs for things like batteries.

Electrical Engineering. I'd actually study this time too.

That’s when you just tell someone that they’ll have the chicken.

I sincerely wish Youtube would just offer a lesser cost method of removing ads without some of the other “features” of Red, like being able to play videos with the app closed (I guess meant to cater to those listening to lectures or music) and their original content. I’d pay for that in a heartbeat, as I watch a ton…

Second the suburb cops hassling you about nearly anything and everything. Particularly in Cobb County.

GM specializes in half assed design.

That’s book labor for you. On the flipside, there are a number of jobs, particularly those under warranty, that often underpay techs for the amount of time actually spent on the job because of unforeseen issues. Most out of warranty work is usually padded to cover this stuff, but warranty hours are dictated by the…

To be fair, there are still a number of people in the US that consider anything with 75,000 miles or more as “getting up there” and when it hits 100k are looking for a replacement.

2 of my vehicles are 140k+ and my newest vehicle (2012 model) is edging up on 90k. One is a Jeep Wrangler that will probably never be…

Unfortunately because of franchise laws, we will be stuck with dealers for a long, long time. As most know, most dealers are part of some greater conglomerate where a single owner spans across multiple lines, or at least owns several of the same brand. As such, they’re flush with cash to lobby politicians to maintain…

I agree. I was there about two weeks ago and it was worth the quick walk through just to say I’d been there. Besides, it was on the way back to our hotel.

I spoke to a Delta pilot last week (incidentally, right after he gave me a turbulence report) who moonlights as one of the Air Force hurricane pilots. He told me that flying through the eyewall and into the eye is one of the most incredible sights he’s ever experienced.

Pretty sure my Dad has some of the original CDs he bought back in the mid to late-80s as well and still listens to them. He had a handful of LPs when I was growing up (I still have them all today) but mainly a bunch of cassettes. I remember how huge it was to not have to deal with all of the hassles associated with…

I live in a suburb of Memphis, and these JNJ guys are some of the worst truck drivers in the area. This doesn’t surprise me in the least.

I look at how much life it has in it otherwise. If everything else works and has been relatively trouble free, I’m more apt to try to keep it running.

I think I managed to make it all the way through that game once. Landing (and refueling, for the matter) was almost a matter of chance. Surviving the actual level was actually easier than the landing!
