One reason I love Southwest: A rather unruly family of at least 12 people tried to bum rush the door from the very back of the plane. The flight attendant stopped them dead in their tracks and made them sit their white-trash asses down until the cleaning crew was ready to come aboard.

A new study released this month found that it would cost $50 billion to procure 194 F-22s, estimated to cost between $206 million to $216 million per jet. To put this in context, the F-35 cost per aircraft is around $100 million.

So what is it that Ivanka does, exactly?

I’d be interested in hearing the radio traffic (if any) between the ships, prior to collision.

Unlike many Honda products, the ILX engine uses a timing chain instead of a belt. Otherwise, he would have gone through at least two belt replacements.

VIN seems a little off - I’m getting a 2001 E-Class with VIN WDB12324312019071

Meh. Nice price, I guess, but all this car does for me is remind me that they should have built the Cien.

If the rust really isn’t a problem, this is NP all day.

Interesting tidbit: the next-gen Volvo XC60 is getting the XC90 headlights.

“Big bold things” - like yank health care away from over 20 million Americans, pull out of the Paris Accords, permanently damage our standing as world leaders, alienate our allies and give comfort to our enemies?

Batting 1000 there, Princess.

Deduct about $6K for the imminent failure and replacement of the VANOS. Deduct another $5K if the exhaust cam hub fails and the little tab that slots into the VANOS oil pump falls into the timing chain.

I prefer the second-gen cars (‘65 - ‘69), but this is a nice price.

Hi there.

Unless some Elvis-crazy Russian oligarch has a screaming need for an essentially useless piece of memorabilia, I don’t see this thing selling at all.

That’s the context that’s missing here. Tesla basically went from zero to OMG in a short amount of time, and the manufacturing pressures of bringing the Model 3 online have probably been a major headache.

My parents had an early-90's Jeep Cherokee Laredo that they bought new. It had the bullet-proof 4.0 liter 6 cylinder, which was great, but the thing went through three transmissions before it hit 50K miles, and they never towed a thing. I’m told this was not an unusual occurrence. Never seriously considered a Jeep…

I grew up during the Cold War. This doesn’t seem all that unusual.

Secretary Of State: he didn’t do it.
