It also won’t engage below certain speeds. I have a Volvo XC60 and when we got it, the system brake checked me twice in two days. It didn’t need to, I saw the stop, but I was trying not to emergency brake for fear of being rear ended. I turned down the sensitivity for that same reason. 

It looks like Yeager also wrote the Wikipedia article on the Miles M.52:

Does American charge if you’re forced to gate check due to no overhead space? That’s messed up. My experience with other airlines is that they’ll usually offer to gate check for free if you can’t fit your bag in the overhead bins.

I used to love SW living on the West coast, but my flights were regularly late (almost always by at least 15 mins, and very frequently by 1 hour plus), and I was only offered a voucher on one occasion. I fly Alaska now - free checked bag w/ credit card, easy to get to MVP, first class option, great customer service,…

I was suspicious of this story when I first read it last week, as Thum sounds like he knew exactly what he had and Amistadi made it sound like he was swindling a 100-year old Grandma just looking to unload junk. Definitely played up by Amistadi... I hope whoever buys them returns them to their previous glory and…

Ah yeah you’re right. The one with the F1 POV he’s clearly waaaaay behind the Tesla. 

I don’t see much. Here’s one in MO for $35k, which is $5k off MSRP... I think I’ll wait till next year and see if I can get a GT for around $32k. 

Nope. F1 beat the tesla

That’s probably actually a good race; from what I’ve read, it sounds like the H2R is expected to do a mid-8 quarter, which is actually right around what a modern F1 will do. Now, put a Top Fuel dragster in there...

It’s very dangerous, and any tire shop worth a damn won’t touch tires with any white showing. They’ll make you buy a new set for liability purposes. 

Your average JoeBob with a trailer probably doesn’t have sufficient insurance to transport $250k worth of cars. Plus, 400 trailers a week is a LOT of coordination (that’s about sixty per day, assuming 7 days a week)

More financial education in schools would go a long way. Just teaching students what rates they should be able to source for different things (i.e. you should get prime rate plus X.XX% for a car, mortgage, etc. If you get more than that, it’s a bad deal!) or how much percent of their income they should pay on rent,…

Just depends on who you ask. But still, even with the base model CR-V, you get 32 more horsepower (though it does get 1 mpg less than the 1.5 turbo). I’m just saying Subaru should be able to eke out better mpg’s than their competitors, considering how underpowered they are. 

Subaru needs to do something about those ‘parasitic losses’ from their full-time AWD. The CR-V, Rav4, and CX-5 get better mpgs, with more power and the same price point. Hell, even my 2018 Volvo XC60 T5 gets the same mpg’s as your Crosstrek, yet it’s 1,000 lbs heavier and has 100 more horsepower. They’ll still sell…

Speed limit on I-5 through Portland is 50 mph... if they drove 58 that would be a marked improvement!

He’s actually right. The Reno Gazette Journal estimates BM attendees spend $50M annually in Northern Nevada. Another article says the average person spends $2k total (not just in Nevada); average attendance is 70k people, so $140M annually, nationwide. That’s a lot of money!

My friend in Portland does this. His grandma stopped driving and left him her Leaf. He doesn’t have a driveway so he runs a 100' extension cord out of his window, down the lawn and across the sidewalk. He’s even run it through his neighbor’s yard before, when he had to park down the street. Granted, he doesn’t live in…

Ya except for Schultz’s dickhead brother

If you’ve already checked in, adding it to your profile won’t work. You have to re-check in and add your KTN when it prompts you. Then it’ll work. The only thing adding it to your profile does is auto-fill the box when you buy a ticket. 

I had a ‘96 Volvo 850 as my first car. Got a flat one day and went to jack up the car to swap the wheel. Old Volvo’s have that ‘C’ shaped jack that you’re supposed to slide onto a special jack point and lift. I didn’t know that, so I just stuck it under and started lifting. The opening in the ‘C’ had conveniently…
