It’s more of a question of what’s broken than where it broke. A cabin fire over Dodge City is a lot more dire than losing an engine 40k ft. over Tahiti.

Thanks, I’m looking for a small(ish) fun driver for around town and short road trips (>250 mi) for two. Have your Rs been reasonably reliable? Also under consideration are used Cayman and 135i, Possibly an S5, but that’s over the size budget.

“Commercial planes are a nightmare. The last thing anyone should want to do is board a giant hunk of metal, only to be sealed inside with people they’ve never met while precariously speeding through thin air.” Literally on the day that it’s announced that there were 0, Z-E-R-O, passenger or crew fatalities due to…

Cruising altitude isn’t the problem, ask Sully Sullenberger. 

Funny, I went right to Golf R as a rival to the 3 for me. I’m leaning toward the R, more so now. Possibly a TT RS after last weeks Grand Tour. I’m very curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

More likely to get a tag on your toe than a maglite to the temple in that scenario...that said, lithium battery fire after wadding a model 3 up at 230KMH won’t leave much in the way of toes.

And dental school ain’t driving school.

That was torque, turbo lag, and engine placement conspiring to kill you..not HP.

This is stupid dumb, no mention of vehicle weight and/or torque. There’s a formula and a good argument to be made here, it appears you were too lazy to flesh it out.

Dressed as if she were hosting a Scentsy party.

The simple answer here is: if anyone, it should’ve been Akbar at the helm. And the Captain of the Dreadnaught should have muttered “it’s a tr...” while Hux bellowed “FIRE EVERYTHING!”

Pretty sure that’s exactly what I said, save Airbus/Boeing.

I could turn an A380 around and firewall the throttles with ease. My point: almost anybody can fly almost anything for 2 minutes. Especially true if your end game involves your death and total loss of your craft.

Wrong. That said, XJR is the way to go.

Pretty sure that Jag episode will have me looking for a used type R. Willing to wager the Ariel Nomad bit will double lotto tickets purchased...

My buddy’s Ch701 can, you just pour the piss bottle out the window.

Good to know a 757 can’t dump the tanks at altitude. Also, Billings has an international airport?

Blundstones are my go to travel boot for this very reason.

In MLPS? Buy a used $20- 25k F-150 crew cab 4x4 or a Land Cruiser and start saving for a boat to tow!

Check this out, the Winnebago Revel- not hybrid, but solar and 3 big house batteries and a big alternator for engine charging- no generator. Heat is diesel hydronic in floor. It’s on a 19.5 foot Sprinter 4x4 chassis, around $135k and gets 20 mpg. https://winnebagoind.com/products/class-b/2018/revel/overview
