I’m rooting for Emme Hall and Rebecca Donaghe. They might not be crushing it in a Rolls Royce this year, but their all electric pickup should be fun to watch.

The price isn’t the issue, and I’m glad you mentioned the documentation for aircraft vs cars—I don’t think most car people are knowledgeable about that.

I see a lot of whincing about this being advertised on FB marketplace. Here’s the thing, it’s a Canadian registered aircraft. The maintenance process for aircraft is nothing like that for a car. Every bolt tightened has a logbook entry.

I know very little about secondhand general aviation aircraft, but this piqued my interest, so I gave it some thought.

You clearly have no idea what airplanes cost. Half that?

“He died flying his Porsche” is a fantastic conversation starter; NP for immortality.

In 1988, the only glass cockpits were on military aircraft. This is pretty typical avionics on light aircraft flying today. Red Baron would have had almost no instruments. 

Those analog gauges have served aviation well for nearly 100 years. A glass cockpit would cost 60-80k. These days you can use an iPad and a few apps for solid backup to those round gauges.  Flying is more fun when you look out the windows.

Oh, man, remember how many people absolutely lost their minds the first time Rob posted a motorcycle for this feature?

I have a 2018 GT-N (Sport.. whatevs) and I absolutely love it: big enough to carry four adults comfortably, feature rich, affordable to buy and run, and silly fun to drive with a 6 spd married to a turbo. A family friendly version of a hot hatch, if you will. This news makes me sad.

The Kona is fine, but it’s worse than the Elantra GT for the same money.

Crossovers killed the sensible car 

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

But only in the US.

That’s a bummer because it’s a really awesome car. Glad I picked mine up while I could.

I don’t know about that. Prior to season four John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer were only being paid about $20,000 an episode, so that one joke was apparently three times as expensive as the entire performance of major characters.

His stage name wasn’t Eddie Creative Commons...

And like Kubrick, he has no interest in female characters and can’t make one that is much more than a plot device tovadvance the male character’s story.

I was young and working at a movie theater as an attendant when Memento came out. I don’t know what trailers and marketing was out at the time, but it must have advertised itself as an artsy movie. The people initially seeing the movie were an older demographic. I swear to god EVERYONE walked out of that movie

Dunkirk is an amazing film, eschewing CGI for practical film making on an immense scale.
