Best movie ever, of a close second next to Blazing Saddles.

“YOU SILLY PERSON!”

Not this but I was wondering about that Faraday future parking video that they had shown. Imagine you own one of those and the car is sent off to self park itself at a crowded mall on a sunday morning. People would just keep taking it’s spot because it would be so easy to spot that it was a dumb autonomous vehicle…

I strongly support your interest in living in the country and becoming some sort of bumpkin/redneck food wizard. BUT, and this is an important but, you’re going to need to invest in some redneck tools of the trade. One of these should be a busted-ass POS pickup, that smells more like dog/fish/deer than anything…

I keep reading this and thinking as follows:

9 times out of 10, it’s better to sell your car on craigslist and put that money towards your new one. The only times it makes sense is when the trade in value can reduce the sales tax on your new car, and the tax reduction equals or is more than the premium you get for selling.

Just call it vintage

You know, when we’ve got killer drones roaming the skies able to assassinate anyone on no more than the President’s say-so, and we’re naming them “Predator” and “Reaper,” it feels about one step away from painting them black and throwing a skull on the wings.

Not surprising; I’d strongly suspect that, when they set their Nurburgring time, they heavily-tuned the car, Ferrari-style. I’d love to see if a stock Giulia Quadrifaculugiciulugiosio could get anywhere close to what the manufacturer claims on that track.

Did they say it like “Don’t worry, the full power comes after the break in period...” and then quickly change the subject?

Audi places battery in the middle of the firewall near the bottom of windshield so, unlikely to short out.

Best thing I’ve seen all day - him honking the horn at the end just made it.

This is how I feel when I drive my A4 quattro through the snow :)

One of the best airports I’ve been in as far as killing time before your flight would have to be the Gimhae International near Busan in South Korea. Only has real basic cafes and stuff, nothing like Incheon or Changi, but it shares its runway with the Gimhae airbase. I gather its mainly transport aircraft that are…

Y’know, this is why they don’t allow passengers to carry fluids. They’re not interested in preventing beumb-making equipment from making it onto flights. That’s been debunked. What they’re really after is vinegar. A half-pint of vinegar, sprayed from a distance of several miles, is well known to make thousand-mile…

Actually, this is a not uncommon occurrence and it’s not necessarily an equipment issue. In a lot of cases it’s been crews failing to switch their radios to appropriate frequencies for the regions they are in, so the crew thinks everything is quiet and peaceful, meanwhile controllers are screaming out for a response…

They were all actually part of a secret chemtrail op. The 777 was dropping the epoxy resin, the fighters the hardener. And now all Germany is immobilized, ready for Putin’s tanks.... True story.

Ever try to talk with Indian tech support?

Well that’s one scenario. Another possible scenario is that they had a communications failure and needed someone there to get that fixed.........

I fly large airplanes for the military and often when we’re flying across Europe we’ll get a call from local ATC passing on a request from that county’s air force to do a practice intercept on us (NATO only please).
