That is the most bullshit response ever. Planes are not supposed to have single point of failure sensors that kill everyone especially one sensor that is known to Boeing to be woefully defective and failure prone. Add to that the lack of verification with the second sensor, lack of disagree lights, lack of telling…

Only $62 million? When are rich white dudes finally gonna get their fair share? 

Never forget that this loser’s first response after Lion Air was to “blame the pilots”. His first response after Ethiopian’s crash was to proclaim the “absolutely safe status of the design”.

The point is that the vast, vast majority of us don’t get anything near as generous as this. If I f*ck up to even a minor degree, I get fired with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I have a close friend that’s a higher-up at Boeing. She is dying to get out of there. The culture of cutting costs and not listening to engineers has destroyed the company and everyone’s morale. It’s also destroyed the once sterling innovative culture they had - I feel bad for the engineers and pilots that poured…

You’re right, it’s definitely not news.

Goddamnit, Volkswagen! Why did you have to look so good but be so shitty?

The people voting “NP” here have obviously never owned a Mk4 Jetta.

I still have twitching from my 2001 VR6 GTI. Bought brand new and traded in after two year warranty expired..... Nope.  The car was peppy and I did love that engine and stick combo but it was at the dealer for small crap way to many times in those two years......  CP  

Oh, hell no. Had one. It was a money pit. Loved the driving characteristics and the features, but I knew the guys in the shop all too well. I still chat with Larry, the service writer. 

“Very low consumption”

Why? Do you have experience with the 406 or other late 90s/very early 00s Peugeots? These are known to be rather reliable. The 200+ k miles on his is quite normal.

A Peugeot 406 is a cockroach though. More reliable than many (not all) Japanese cars from the era. I own the coupe version with 358k km (222k miles) on the odometer. It feels like it can take many more. And no, it’s not a diesel. You can only kill these when you never change the oil and treat the gas pedal as an…

Ivan, what you want is the Japanese version of Peugeot, which is of course Mazda. Peugeot makes a wide range of cars from little hatchbacks up to executive wannabes, right? So does Mazda! A Mazda6 ticks everyone of your boxes. You can get a loaded Grand Touring model for well under your $5K limit and it will be quite…

Lexuses.  it is not Latin and you idiots don’t get to make up rules.

Bullshit, unless you owned one and bought a shitty one to begin with. Saabs / Volvos are pretty much the most reliable European vehicles you can get, even more so than some Asian brands (Subaru, Mazda, Nissan). I’ve had 3 SAABs and 2 Volvos all with their respective turbo engines and all over 300,000 miles. Current…

The nicest things in that Cadillac are the paper floor mat protectors.

Yes, the very same ally that brutally murdered, dismembered and disposed of the body of a journalist who was critical of the regime.

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!
