This is very good news. As a small-plane pilot who lives on the road in rental cars and operates out of the private terminals of airports (FBOs), Apple Maps is FUCKING USELESS. I love renting cars with CarPlay, but every time I ask Siri to take me to (name of the FBO), it directs me to the airline terminal. Typically,…

The Hyundai might be worse at first, but the BMWs are fucking terrible so that’s a pretty shitty resale baseline. Anybody who buys a car like this loses their ass to depreciation in short order.

It features the UN’s decalaration of human rights, a document which is thoroughly contradictory and nonsensical?

While unprotected left turns are inherently more dangerous than others, and UPS saves insurance money by avoiding them, they are most certainly not advanced maneuvers. They’re a pretty basic aspect of driving that virtually all Americans are exposed to during initial driver training. They aren’t hard if you have…

That’s not true. The relevant rule is 14 CFR part 91.119.

False. What happens in the air is dictated by FAA regs.

The biggest problem with these intersections is that people don’t know how to use them. They’re weird. Nobody knows what to expect, and it leads to mistakes.

We’ve got one similar south of Dayton on I-75. It’s a traffic nightmare. People from out of the city come through there and can’t really figure out what’s going…

There was one on the ramp today blowing black smoke everywhere while I was getting my 206 ready. It wasn’t particularly loud, just very bassy, and a lot of wind and smoke.

It depends on the g-forces the airplane withstood, and what the airframe is rated for. A loop like this is not likely to exceed an airplane’s positive-g limit if done properly. A loop *could* be done in a Cessna 172, with it’s ~4g limit, but because it has never been tested it is therefore not certified to do it, and…

How the fuck can you not afford $100 bus ticket a few times a year but you’ve got $15,000 to spend on a car? How much do you think gas costs?

This argument is bullshit.

Why the fuck would you spend $250,000 on an RV when you can just get an Accord and stay in hotels?

This doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Why, to replace light bulbs?

It’s called “isolationism”.

That is much better but still terrible overall. I like that you’ve given it a lower, pointier nose. I think what would really make it better is bringing the bottom of the grille up higher, and having a thing horizontal grille crossing beneath the main one. The gaping intakes on either side are the worst part of the…

Agreed. Somebody needs to report it to GM and to the EPA. There could be hundred of them under the dirt, and they could’ve been filled with fluid. This probably isn’t a “superfund” toxic situation but GM probably owns the land already and this wouldn’t take much excavating to clean up. All these industrial cities are…

Yes! These things are awesome. My cousin had one and after putting snow tires on it, it cruised through over a foot of snow without issue.

I think all DTM regs should just be scrapped as a whole.

People tend to understand that in order to succeed, businesses must continually innovate. What people don’t seem to understand is that in order to succeed, individual people must also continually innovate. This is why we educate ourselves, learn new skills, and switch jobs occasionally. Because what works today might…
