In NASCAR, almost zero.

They kinda do charge based on weight of luggage. Bag fees are based on the number of bags, and the max weight permitted for each bag without a surcharge is getting lower all the time.

Thank you! I knew I recognized that face from somewhere. It would’ve driven me nuts all day.

Sadly, it doesn’t matter what Cadillac’s cars look like. For the kind of customer Cadillac is trying to attract (yuppies and uppity urban post-hipsters), cars are either German or they’re not. Nothing else matters.

Too bad there’s no market for large luxury sedans NOT made in Germany.

Like with the Elmiraj before, every few years Cadillac likes to remind the world that they’re fully capable of designing the most aesthetically beautiful cars in the world.

All of a sudden it hits us: the collective tragedy that was the 1990s automotive sedan design... many different platforms, yet all were eventually molded into the same ubiquitous nondescript lump.

The article states “Americans have already placed 370,000 orders for the Model 3, proving that the market and interest for an affordable electric car exists.”

As an unarmed black bear....

Up in Central New York, some 28 year old dude wrapped his car around a tree while chasing Pokemon. Wicked awesome that.

They were at a road course last week (Sonoma), so they worked their feet about 1000% more than they do at a normal cup race. That might have had something to do with it.

What happens if someone loses his or her lunch while going down the slide? How long will it take for some unfortunate janitor to climb up there with a spray bottle and squeegee?

And, dont’ forget, they’ll also be able to sell you one of those “battery wall” things to store all the solar power so you can still charge your car if it’s dark when you get home.

Bye bye Spartanburg! Your days are numbered.

This happens a lot in many industries. For example, look at the printer in your office. Chances are, the same company makes a more expensive model of that printer which can handle more pages per minute than yours. And, chances are, the more expensive model is EXACTLY the same, part-for-part, as your cheaper version.…

So true. After putting out a whole range of innovative and attractive products since the bailout, it’s almost like GM is saying “We really miss the 1990s! Let’s go back to the days when we made the world’s BEST rental cars! White bread for everyone!!”

Enough is enough. Time to disband all of these air display squads. The money could be put to better use elsewhere.

I hate to break it to you, but there is absolutely NOTHING extraordinary about an airliner aborting a landing, even just a few seconds from touchdown. It happens all the time, for all sorts of routine reasons.

This is no worse than what Toyota does to market to the 40-year old, middle class, child-rearing suburban simpletons. Now there’s a demographic who’s profoundly stupid about cars. Perky, white-as-mayonaise “Jan” tells them a Camry is “sporty!” and “fun to drive!” and they flock like zombies, hanging on her every word.

For some perspective, I love watching on some of the vintage 80s-90s MotorWeek segments available on YouTube. “Zero to 60 in 14 seconds!” Those turtles drove the same roads we have today, and they were somehow able to manage.
