In 2004, my family and I were in a bad accident caused by a drunk driver (the kind of accident where everyone should have died). It was his FIFTH DUI. That shouldn't even be possible.

Actually, a few American cars will have this feature... but they won't have the auto UP for fear of Americans pinching their hands.

IIRC, Supercharging for life is included on all Model S's with the 85kWh battery pack, and can be purchased as an option on the 60kWh models (something like a $3- or 5,000 option).

No signals, just "DIVE, DIVE, DIVE". Literally all 5 lanes nearly had accidents as he swerved across them. Traffic around here routinely does 75-85mph, I was keeping pace with traffic at 87mph.

Honestly, I love the idea of self-driving cars.

United left me stranded in Dallas after holding us on the plane for 3 hours in Little Rock. Offered to charge me a few hundred dollars to get me on a flight to Phoenix that wouldn't leave Dallas until noon the following day. Of course, no accommodation, food, or anything else would be provided.

We just shipped 30 to Utah. About 1/3 of the ones we sent were non-op. Want to know how you put a HMMWV on a semi truck when it doesn't run?

Wow, 2 year old post — did it get linked somewhere?

My dad has a '78 Grumman Tiger, and my uncle has... well, I've lost count. Nearly everyone in my family flies.

I don't like to play that card, but if American Airlines decides to not reply, there's always that. I briefly mentioned it in the letter (I said I was traveling on orders, but left it at that).

Active duty military, traveling on orders in uniform though? Media loves that.

Yeah, but I come from a family of lawyers. I faxed and mailed it. The mailed copy included a copy of the fax transmission log (time stamped). Mailed certified, first class, with a required signed return receipt. At the end of the letter I said I expect a resolution within 7 days or I will report the airline to higher…

funny you mention that. I got stranded at DFW Sunday night, after my AA flight from Little Rock was delayed by 3 hours (due to winds), and I missed my connecting flight to Phoenix. AA said it was my fault for missing my connection, and told me that I would have to pay full price to get on their flight at noon on…

There was a separate article posted yesterday afternoon about the Jesus nut on the Chinook. Basically highlighting the fact that a multi-million dollar helicopter is being held up by two $500 nuts.

No, it doesn't have a saddle so it's not a motorcycle. It's a wheelchair accessible car built from the bed of a gmt800 flareside. It's pretty badass.

No saddle? GO FUCK YOURSELF!

Damnit! I came here to post exactly this!

...I work across the hill from these idiots.

My dad regularly flies a Grumman Tiger, and I approve of this statement.

The actual reason is taxes, government incentives, and emissions zones. Have fun driving that S550 into central London (where you'll never have an open enough stretch of road to appreciate the extra power). But the hybrid? It gets a free "green" pass into the city, and is just as comfortable. Dane with the Range…
