Ford’s CEO used to be the CEO of a furniture maker...  Perhaps the belief that running one big company is the same as any other big company, regardless of the product?  I agree it does seem a little odd. 

Not really a Jalop, are you?

Wow, this looks identical to the van a friend of mine sold back in the late 90's. We lived in Ferndale, MI at the time. Same blue color with a manual. Very well could be the same one. It was such a cool and unusual van to see it with a manual trans.

I be that’s a real drag. 

You realize that it’s not just the executives at the company who suffer when a company does poorly, correct?  The people who suffer more are the everyday workers, white collar and blue collar alike.  

Don’t use it unless you are trained by professionals.  Rear brake bias is dangerous. 

My speculation is that he got a cut and was bleeding pretty bad, hence the screen they put up during the accident.  A couple days in the hospital for a severe cut (and maybe a blow to the head) seem reasonable. 

Anyone ever found any information on the immolation rates, gasoline vehicles vs electric?

God bless the USA!  

I actually do see your point, I was just being an ass. I only fly 3 to 4 times a year for fun. Honestly, I didn’t think reclining was that big of a deal before this article...

Well, why be clever when I can just be naive?  

You got me. You successfully psychoanalyzed my personality based on a few comments on the internet.  Good job.   

I guess it sucks to be you then. 

Pretty much any international airport... 

You should probably look up the definition of the word naive BEFORE you try to use it. 

They don’t tell you to sit up until it’s time to land. Have you actually been on an airplane before?  

Then that’s your problem for not paying a few extra dollars for a seat that accommodates your freakishly long legs.  I paid to recline. I’m going to recline.  

how the hell do you use the seat?  Why don’t you go with an airline that doesn’t have reclining seats, like Spirit?  

In this case, yes. The slight reduction in available volume is far less of a PITA than if I have to try and puke in the air sickness bag.
