There’s two ways to ride with a pillion. The easy way, and the stupid way.

There is also something to be said for the passenger. Having ridden my fair share of miles over the last two decades, I’ve experienced great passengers (my ex) and TERRIBLE passengers. A good passenger is barely noticeable, while a bad one, well, lets just say you didn’t get that and it’s a good thing. 

“or a spectacular 6-speed manual, the latter of which over 50 percent of CT5-V Blackwing buyers opt for.”

I hope there’s a Netflix or Prime series to recap the season because it was a great one! While amazing that Martin won, the better story is how he got snubbed for the factory Ducati seat by Marquez and he chose to leave for Aprilia in retaliation.

Hertz can swear out a false report for the not-stolen vehicles. There have been several cases of people yanked from cars with guns aimed at them and fingers on triggers, with cops screaming to “stop resisting” as the cops do a knee drop onto their head because Hertz did just that.

It’s not theft. Hertz already has their payment information on file and has given them a reservation. Anything else is to prevent those who do not have payment info or a reservation from taking them. Unless the contract that is part of that reservation says different, the renters held up their part and it was Hertz…

There’s not one specific shape that is exactly perfect for a spaceplane. As it happens there have been only two orbital spaceplanes so far, and one was based on the design of the other. It’s tempting to conclude that this must be the only reasonable shape for a spaceplane, but this would not be accurate.

Not YET!

oh c’mon. This is a literal copy of X-37B. And there is nothing else like X-37B. It’s literally a unique design for US Air Force. 

Haolong are we going to allow flat out copying from China?

The number of stars for this is criminally low. Props for the old school joke. I wonder how many people even got that one.

My first thought also! Never let a silly thing like causing a major publicity nightmare get in the way of some good ole’ customer abuse!

National has cars waiting with keys in and you’re assigned a row to go and take a car from or a car specifically depending on the location. I want to say some Hertz locations do too, but it’s been a while since I rented from Hertz as my company has a sweetheart with Enterprise and National.

How many people did this?

I mean, that’s sort of how it works at National for Emerald Club members. Just roll into the right aisle and take a car. Easy peasy. 

Looks a lot more like the X-37B than the space shuttle to me. X-37B is also unmanned.

I’ve been to a rental location (I think Hertz, even) where you show up, get a text for what parking space your car is parked, and the car is just unlocked with the keys already inside (!!!). Presumably this system was the one in use there but the guy who was dispatching the text messages went AWOL, so people didn’t…

See the court case Finders v Keepers.

By the time I got there even their breakroom was ransacked, so I didn’t even get a Hertz donut.

“...resulting in customers (including the mayor of Denver) taking the keys to whatever rental cars they wanted.”
