Starred for research, but I trust that PM did their research too.

Are you fucking kidding me? The 1991 Mercedes 560SEL stickered for $75K.

So how long have you been legally blind?

Clearly? No. It’s not fraud if the contract states that you may get bumped to a later flight — which is still transporting you, just not at the time originally booked — or you may get your ticket price refunded. In neither case are they charging you and delivering nothing, and you agreed when you bought the ticket to…

Back then the Corvette Z51 was in the same ballpark as the V8 Ferrari and the Porsche Turbo. Those cars have since leveled up and left it behind.

That someone can get fucked until they amend the Constitution.

I doubt having the deadheading crew drive for five hours was an option. The crew probably wouldn’t have gotten enough sleep before having to fly again.

The FD RX-7 came to the US for MY1993.

They don’t share the same styling. All cars from the 90s do not look the same, any more than all cars from the 30s look the same. You’re lumping them together out of ignorance or hatred, and it doesn’t really matter which.

First-gen Nissan Quest? Its Mercury twin? Old leg-breaking Toyota box van? Dodge Turbo Caravan? Pontiac Aztek? :)

While that’s true, there is I think a baser instinct that gets expressed in this situation: “I don’t get to get away with that, so fuck that guy for trying.”

Point is there are a lot of smaller SUVs and crossovers that are easy to get in and out of and are more nimble than modern minivans. There used to be minivans for people who didn’t need to carry 7 passengers, or didn’t need to carry 7 passengers and lots of cargo at the same time. It’s a bummer that Mazda killed the…

Or maybe you were just depressed.

Some days I regret not buying that Eagle Talon TSi AWD in ‘95.

It didn’t help that it was funny-looking.

You’re making the mistake of comparing cars of that era to cars of today. Absolute performance is not why people value cars from previous eras. And that’s not what’s meant by “best decade ever.”

Those are decade-old arguments. People have moved on.

Minivans aren’t mini anymore. And a lot of people loathe sliding doors. And tall wagons have proportions that the subconscious says are wrong.

People on a Sunday flight from Chicago to Louisville have jobs Monday morning. Nobody’s going to volunteer on the spot to take an unexcused day off work in exchange for vouchers. Many of them probably don’t know when they’re going to fly again.
