If failure to use airplane mode caused problems with airplanes, there would be strict compliance protocols. I would expect almost every single commerical plane in the air is carrying passengers who neglected to switch (I admit to forgetting from time to time). But, there are still two good reasons for this feature to

The most important thing is that Airplane mode saves battery... It stops your phone from trying to scan for signal every few seconds...

Can we also re-mention how stupid it is to call an EV a “Turbo” model?

Or maybe just drunk or easily confused.

Sounds like she’s a heat-seeking missile on the road, so best of luck.

Special thanks to all the teams that kept the logos on the side pods aligned with the track and not at the same angle as the sidepod, which looks awful.

One of the cool things about old 911's is that many have seen quite a bit of use. Cars that have been well use tend to need restoration (or at least some sort of refurbishment). Once that happens, originality goes out the window.

I dunno...I think plenty of folks like the Singer look.  I myself would want a 964 done to early 80s Carrera (non-widebody) look.

You don’t want these seats in your car, trust me. But one issue that modern car seats have airbags built in. There’s nowhere to put an airbag in a seat this thin.

Southwest, motivated by the Spirit of profit is approaching a new Frontier of uncomfortable and pain-inducing seats!

Can we get these seats in cars please?  Current seats weigh a lot and take up a lot of room.

Normal, Illinois, is the home of Illinois State University, founded as Illinois State Normal University. The purpose of “normal schools” is to educate teachers.

The Diamond Star trio first generation cars were everywhere back in the day.  You would think a few more would have survived but they just didn't.  Anyway, these are rare, and this one is in very nice shape, but I can't quite see getting to the asking price without the Turbo.  No Dice.

My s.o. hates gangster films and won’t sit through even five minutes of Goodfellas or The Godfather, but she loved My Blue Heaven when I got her to watch it earlier this year. You just have to be vaguely aware of the tropes to get the gangster-related jokes, and everything else plays well enough on its own. A great

How about some comedies?  Johnny Dangerously?  Married to the Mob, My Blue Heaven?  Yes I’m showing my age.

Not sure I buy “Boyz N the Hood” as a gangster movie. If you wanted something from that era, “New Jack City” is a better fit. “American Gangster” from a few years later was solid, if a little formulaic.

Also, “King of New York” is a goddamn masterpiece. 

This car, and Genesis

They are sweet, but the vehicle has to be minivan-sized for them to work (or, at least have a massive cargo space behind the second seat.

IMSA and Indy Car that last few years have brought back my love of motorsport. IMSA in particular has been phenomenal, but some of the edge of your seat moments in the last season of Indy Car have been so much fun.
