Bingo! “Target fixation” would lead to tons of planes being flown into the ground.  Most pilots that cannot grasp the concept of looking down the runway never master landing the plane.

Because there is honestly no need to see what is below the nose. In all the hours I have spent flying, I have never thought to my self, “Golly.... I wish I knew what was there.”

The one so many people I know still believe is the 3,000 mile oil change. If that oil is not changed at an authorized dealer, your engine with go supernova and lead to a five-figure repair bill. Not only that, the warranty is automatically voided the second a non-dealership technician casts the slightest side eye at…

Another explanation I was given is that it helps sell more cars. If a person has a 1965 model and their next door neighbors just got new 1966 models, you would be the odd man out.

I’m opting out until there is a need for a new vehicle. I am refusing to “keep up with the Joneses” or buying a vehicle because someone says I should.

Years ago I visited a friend in Guatemala and was fascinated by the lavishly painted and decked out “chicken buses.” My friend told me to not ride on one but of course I turned right around and tried my luck. It was a wild ride on an old school bus that tossed everyone and everything around. It was packed to the point…

I propose CEO/H1B.

Yes they do. When I was consulting in the automotive industry, I visited many Toyota shops and saw full Tacoma frame swaps. The tech would spend two full days removing everything down to the rust out frame and then reassemble everything on a new frame. Fascinating.

On an unrelated note. My wife has your avatar as a bumper sticker on her minivan. Two in the front, five in the rear.
