Mike, have you ever been to a Passat launch that actually was exciting and jubilant?

Did Lenny Kravitz’ Passat pop out?

It always warms my heart to hear about people taking such things seriously/planning how to get home ok. Good man.

With the amount of no-shows, are you, as an invited guest, able to snag food? Is bringing Tupperware a faux pas?

Is the same EPA that dumped tons of Toxic sludge into Colorado rivers?

I look at that car and see a grandmother with questionable taste. Yuck.

I’m not sure what they’d be celebrating. It was their test that was so easy to beat. It wasn’t even them who found the exploit.

How far forward on your seat are you sitting that the table is on top of your legs from someone leaning back? I’m about 6’, been on multiple airlines, and even with the person in front of me reclining have never felt the table was too close to use. Is it as glorious as using an executive desk? No, but the seats aren’t…

Passat AND Lenny Kravitz? Either you are a glutton for punishment or you needed a nice place to have a nap.

so your ability to do work easily trumps another passengers right to feel comfortable? Interesting thesis

I can’t for the life of me understand this “no reclining” rule either. I’m also 6’ 3’’ and reclining is just part of the deal, whether it’s my seat or the seat in front of me. Who the fuck are people worried about offending? If an absence of reclining was indeed the expectation, then the option to recline wouldn’t…

Keep it in your pants Lenny.

Agree on the recline thing. The guy in front of me reclines. I recline. We both have the exact same space as before, but at a more comfortable angle for cruising altitude. I have 5 slipped discs and sitting at 90 degrees for 5 hours is about the worst thing you can do for it. And yea, maybe if I didn’t have to spend…

Hello Hertz? Yes, I reserved the $27 super economy sized Geo Metro, but I’m 6’ 3” and don’t fit in it so please give me a bigger car with more legroom for free.

i hope there was plenty of booze, cause that sounds like a time to drink heavily

You know... even if this were simply about the Passat its not exactly an attractive car. Its a little bloated looking.

Yes, this 100%. I am 6’4” - reclining in front of me is ok, it won’t kill me.

I logged in to share the same sentiment: fuck off with that asinine no-reclining bullshit. If you cannot handle the person in front of you reclining their seat then you are not meant to be on an airplane.

Get fucked on the no-reclining rule.

yah it cracks me up that people think there are alien UFOs at area 51. I just want to ask them “Wait, you saw a never before seen object flying and you saw it at the place where the USAF tests new never before seen planes... by flying them?” We test things that fly there! Still very cool story, can’t imagine the…
