When consulting in the automotive industry, I was shocked at how the techs got screwed over by the dealerships.

Exactly.

Agree,
One of the C-level execs at work drives one. As far as he is concerned, it’s a car that gets him from point A to point B reliably and cheaply. He could afford much more but what is the point? Showing off to random strangers when sitting in standstill traffic?

Nah, he needs a $21,000 truck financed at 25% ARP. Don’t worry, it will be society’s fault if he cannot afford the loan.

Close the comments. All that needs to be said has been said.

I have a friend that used to put her feet on the dash. Finally showed her some YouTube videos of real time airbag deployments including the ones where people set them off inside microwaves (not by running them). Then told her it’s probably pretty painful to have your legs slammed into the windshield and then back…

I’m guessing a rocket would get it up to the proper altitude and speed before the reactor goes critical.

I bet Ferris Bueller couldn’t do that on his day off!

Anyone that does not crack a smile has no soul.

Sounds like have the same kid. My wife and I have given Disney/Pixar a small fortune on Cars merchandise but its money well spent. Reading “Meet the Cars” guarantees he gets to bed on time. Potty training happened amazingly fast once we put him in Lightning McQueen underwear. He didn’t want to pee or poop on his…

Before I got used to the fact that toddlers will repeat anything, my son picked up a casual nugget of knowledge that he now repeats to every Harley rider. One day an obnoxiously loud HD cruised by and I was asked why it sounded like that. Without thinking I said it’s because some sad men have vaginas instead of…

An obvious ripoff of a classic design from a country that no longer exists. She gets three hundred hectares on a single tank of kerosene. To make it go forward, you need to put it in “H. Drive it once and you will agree, “Zagrevev min zlotny dev!” 

What a shame. The Village Voice was always part of the reading collection growing up. Loved that they covered topics that were either did not appeal too were too controversial for the mainstream New York City papers. What the union is requesting are very reasonable. In my opinion, those benefits actually…

Sad state of affairs when the automatic response to any slight or when someone does not agree with a view is to call racism. Sometimes people are just jerks or simply do not like you. Things in life are really as clear cut at people would like to believe. Without the other side of the story, we simply have an angry…

I don’t believe in “micro aggression”

Read my posts. I am not giving the airline a pass at all. Just telling folks to put the pitchforks away until the facts come out.

Sorry you feel that way but the organizations I volunteer for to fight true racism and discrimination would say otherwise. My goal in life to filter out the noise bring real issues to light. This is done through deep analysis of facts to find root cause. People are surprised and do not accept that most problems…

Thank you.

Doesn’t sound like she understood if she complained to the flight attendant. A flight attendant could not help her in that situation.

Not white. I can probably say 1 or 2 times in life I have been the actual target of racism but never as a consumer. When faced with an issue, I take a step back, tale a deep breath, and evaluate the situation. When viewed with a clear head, the actual cause is usually something silly or benign rather than sinister.
