Also you get that bullet proof Italian reliability that Alfa Romeo is famous for.

“I have all-wheel drive, so I don’t need snow tires.” Yes you do. You do. Trust me, you need snow tires.

Lack of visibility which would also be caused by high hood lines.  I would love to get some Forward Control type trucks in the future.

A widespread campaign of shaming everyone who should have bought a minivan is what the auto world needs right now. I’m not being sarcastic. Death to the normalcy of crossovers/SUVs/huge trucks for all. Just buy the damn minivan.

It tracks completely with AC’s record. Which is rather ironic, considering the Canadians’ reputation for being almost overly nice. Guess all the assholes have to work somewhere...

That might be the most Air Canada thing Air Canada has done in years. 

If I smell vomit then I want to vomit, about halfway through that exchange I’d have said fuck it and let if fly. If going to get booted better make it worthwhile.

Air Canada sucks. I’ll walk, drive, take a train... anything else before I’ll get on an Air Canada flight. I’m so happy Porter is coming to western Canada to give us a proper option to WestJet. 

If you can't make money without breaking the law, then you shouldn't be in business in the first place. That is capitalism 101, not communism.

“Excessive” is a relative word with no fixed definition. If you have $100 in the bank account and I take $40 from you, I’ve taken an excessive amount of your personal wealth (40%), but if I take 130,000 from somebody with more than 10 million dollars in cash, I’ve taken only 1.3% of their wealth. 

It would be able to be argued as not “excessive” as it is based on a %. With your argument anyone who does not have financial means should be able to challenge any fine based on “excessive fines” as fines for them are a greater % of their income than someone with more means, thus creating an inequity. 

Good.

Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg is traveling across the Atlantic in a sailboat to avoid this very criticism, and she’s getting loads of shit for being a special snowflake.

We live in a world where Leonardo DiCaprio, Katy Perry and Bradley Cooper are the brightest minds of our age. Just think about that for a while.

Sometimes I think I’m one of the only people who thinks outside the box on this. It’s been clear to me since the 1980's when the shape of the climate crisis was first made clear to me. What do you (not you, personally, but people in general) want the future to look like?

This is where the Green New Deal, European as well as American version, would come in handy and increase employment, enjoyment, and housing.

One thing to note is that, besides completely off, there is no acceptable brightness level for a phone screen in a theater.

Only way this could be better is if he was wearing loafers.

Idling does next to nothing about warming the transmission up unless it's an automatic or wet clutch dct with an oil cooler connected to the engine coolant circuit, so idling is not the cure for a stiff manual transmission. It takes friction and driving to thin the fluid back out.

The reason has nothing to do with fuel or my latent desire to pollute your driveways — it has to do with oil. When your car has been sitting out overnight, all the lubricating oil that's coating all of the crucial, moving bits of the car has settled down to the bottom of the oil pan. When the temperatures are really…
