I've only seen them from the outside. I have a minivan. What are the pros/cons of the Flex vs. minivans? One thing I like about the minivan is that the tall cabin space allows for near standing (it gives a spacious feel on long trips which is a nice thing), and the flat floor and layout permits my front passenger…

My first car was the family 85 Caprice Estate. I really liked it for the practical aspects of it - as a college student, I could fit all my belongings with room to spare and move anywhere, anytime, easily, all by myself.

Maybe the distinction is only made if they survive the experience.

I don't understand the upset over slashing 40hp off the MX5. Jalops loved and vehemently defended the Subaru BRZ's anemic powerplant as a return to the essence of driving. Everytime someone would suggest that the BRZ be given more horsepower, the pushback was palpable - no, it's about the feel for driving they said,…

It's a shitty tactic. Fuck this tactic.

A few features make me think "old school":

I do love French car design - as a starting point for picking limited elements from. Like ... "faceted angular" theme... that's cool...

come on, put some effort into the trolling. This is just lazy and pathetic.

I don't get these people. They act "shocked and dismayed" to be on a flight with young children. Our population consists of single people, families, and all manner of permutations of relationships. Life is teeming with life. Couples bicker, children cry, dogs shit on lawns... it is chaos and imperfect. And that…

Traveling by plane used to be more fun for kids - I used to get to see the cockpit, get a Jr. Pilot wings pin, free playing cards, toys, comic books... It's different now for kids. They're hauled in like the rest of us cattle. It doesn't help to turn on each other and blame little ones for the general discomfort…

Hell yeah. Why? Not just because I'm a parent but because I was a little kid and I remember traveling by air. I always volunteer to give up a window seat for a kid nearby if they want to stare out the window. So a kid gets loud on a plane - what's it to you? Tune them out, put on headphones, and know that the…

that bug looks fucking awesome. I'm usually not that big of a fan of shitty looking cars but this one looks "designed" like this... like some Otaku in Japan built a scale model and embellished it to the max with realistic battle-distress. It's really stylish. I paused at finding the right world for this for a long…

The title is "how to not be an asshole when you fly", not "how to be an asshole in life"

is this the bug that overturned or something in the middle of nowhere and some argument ensued with a tow truck and the owner?

indeed. The delicate balance that's created by the negative space and the large bulging male symbols embodied in the tires and the structure above is something that must be maintained lest the entire chef d'oeuvre collapses aesthetically.

Hey special snowflake. Pipe down. People are trying to hold an adult conversation on this flight.

yeah, how dare a family travel by air? That's some outrageous stuff. Write your congressman immediately about it.

Do you really *have to* take that baby to see their elderly great grandparents? Would the baby survive not meeting extended family? Or are the parents just selfish shit fucks who live to inconvenience your precious beauty nap in coach? What about you - would your heart suddenly stop pumping if you weren't on that…

Believe me, most parents do not want to take newborns to young toddlers (2yrs) on flights either. If they do it, it's because they have to. If they're taking red-eyes, it's because they have to - to save money or for schedule issues. Traveling with a small child is infinitely more stressful for the parent than for…

It's already here.
