If it were me I’d keep the TDI. Diesel is 50¢/gallon cheaper than gas where I live.

So, twice as many hosts, still only two worth watching.

Which is interesting because it used to be you saw a lot of cars in Oklahoma with Texas plates that “lived” full time in OK. Oklahoma did get rid of its inspections some years ago; cars have an ad valorem tax in lieu of personal property if I remember correctly.

I do. My wallpaper, which I also use on my phone, is a panorama of my favorite place in the world. Every time I see it I can escape somewhere else, just for a moment.

Metric: because math is hard.

About six years ago for a couple of days, a week maybe, I saw an American Airlines ticket, LAX-LHR, round trip for less thna $500 (I want to say $430). Couldn't afford to see if it was true.

A plot by Daimler to kill Chrysler.

I wonder how much Arlo Guthrie asked for so they could butcher City of New Orleans.

Denver, and LAX is my home airport. Admittedly the renovations are making a difference. Also Keflavik in Iceland comes second: the only airport I've ever been to where the shops and restaurants close between flights.

Funny, that was the exact opposite of my experience.

Read your contract of carriage.

Here here! I hate United so much that my 19K miles are holdovers from Continental. I'm debating flying them enough to get a free ticket so I can be completely free.

Sounds like Icelandair, except add to it seats slightly less comfortable than sitting on a rock.

The real question is whether they managed to avoid making the interior induce claustrophobia.

Texas 1015, problem solved.

February to April, October and November. But then again I like museums and hate crowds.

But that's the way to a quick grave. It's the slackers with reduced rations who survive, those trying to beat quota die.

More basic would be just getting voice dialing to work. If I say "call Contact Name" I shouldn't get "dialing 707 664 7732" especially when their number is something like 620 245 1901.

Escort, not Contour. Rear doors on the Contour don't have glass (what the hell are they called actually?) quarter windows.

No, it's an Escort. For starters the headlights are different on the Contour....
