Oh please... people these days are so overly cautious and scared about everyday things. In the 80's there were no bicycle helmets, we stayed out till the streetlights came on without supervision and somehow most of us are still here...
PS. What powerslide???? He takes every corner at less than 10 mph.

Are you serious???? Did you watch the video at all...? He drove the car conservatively with absolutely no chance of causing an accident...
My kid was 2 when he sat on my lap and helped me steer the car (at slow speed in a residential neighborhood); he was 3 when he sat on my lap and took the control of an aircraft for

Am I the only one who finds the new TT boring? From the front it looks like any of the available Audi sedans...

Come on now... I'm sure the hotel did not even ask Ferrari if they could find another hotel... Reservations reacted to the matter of fact that the hotel was booked and found another location for the relatives of MH370. If it was any other guest it would have been the exact same situation. No special treatment for

Load the Hola extension for Chrome and you're all set to watch Hulu from anywhere in the world!

I guess the million dollar questions (or in this case half a million dollar question) is, was it negligence that they did not check

I would personally go for a Sullenberger joke... Seems appropriate: Same Aircraft, Same Airline!

Too soon, dude!

I hope you've done KOSH during the air show then...

I've had Eastbound and Down playing in my head from the moment I saw you post that image... Thank you!!! (I'm serious)

Any ad that uses Rolling Stones as soundtrack is great... Another example is the Mercedes Benz Willem Dafoe Super Bowl ad featuring Sympathy for the Devil!!!!

Let me know if you're ever in SoCal... I'll be happy to take you up and I guarantee it will be a lot busier than Nebraska!

I flew the AA 777-300ER last week from DFW to LHR in Business class and it was terrific. I switched from StarAlliance to OneWorld a few years ago because I thought that AA's loyalty program was far superior (I am current Executive Platinum on American) but I have also seen a drastic change in cabin quality at AA in

When I saw the tracker from flightaware right after the news broke, my first thought was that it looked like the transponder had been shut off.
