Oh you sweet innocent. Come to Utah. Here, blinkers are not used because of lack of education and terminology. The call them “blinkers” because they are pretty lights that blink on the corners of the car. “Indicators” on the other hand might “indicate” intention, but only with education.

Depends very much on the airport. Atlanta still uses fingerprints on their machines - at least they did two weeks ago. LAX is still fingerprints. SLC is fingerprints. Last time I came through Detroit it was facial recognition - that and Orlando are the only place I’ve seen the newer booths so far.

Did you clean the fingerprint pad before you used it? Or were they swabbing them down? Or at least did you wash your hands afterwards? Those fingerprint pads are greasy petri dishes on the best days.....

Because the commenting system is forever broken, here’s what I answered to someone else who pointed that out:

I don’t trust Gasbuddy. The prices are never right. This station on my commute shows $2.42 on GasBuddy. I drove past it 15 minutes ago and it’s $2.65 / $2.75 / $2.89 right now.

So a new Land Rover Defender then?

Discovery Sport, please.

The Top Tier program is all about the additive package, sure. But there’s a variable to consider in the delivery process.

Here in Utah they’re always at the very least 6-8 weeks behind the rest of the country. We’re still at $2.75 a gallon for branded, and $2.65 for the festival of crap that Costco sells. If you want premium, it’s still over $3.

Funny how when the price of oil goes up, the price at the pump goes up the same day (normally within hours), but when the price goes down, we get excuses like “we have to use the expensive stuff in the tanks first before we can lower the prices” followed by weeks of gouging because the gas stations think we don’t know…

Post Truth comes to FIFA ? Gaslighting at it’s best. “We understand that you all saw the ball hit the net and score a goal, but you didn’t see what you thought you saw, and this was not a goal because the ball didn’t go in.”

The Bats and the Furious, then?

I’m in 2020. How are things back in 1975? :D

Was at Zandvoort in the 80's. Can confirm the new layout builds on the old and looks much more entertaining.

“Jibber jabber”? I don’t think I’ve heard that phrase since the late 1970's.

I’m really hoping that doesn’t happen. I already have flights, hotels and tickets for the Singapore GP. I’m hoping we’ve got a handle on the situation and people aren’t panic-mongering by September.

shAy 2020! She’s smart, can read and write, and can string more than a three-word sentence together. She outclasses the current occupant of the Oval Office on every count.

you’d be surprised by the number of people I encountered who felt that the car itself had some say in when a fuel pump would cut off, as though the car had some sort of mechanism to disrupt fuel flow on the pump when it determined it was full.

This. Exactly.It would be a hoot. Part of the variable would be how long the engine and tranny lasted before they exploded :)
