hahaha! there’s still penty of room in the average american vehicle. when you consider the top 3 best selling models are pickups (ford f-150 is #1)... and most people aren’t lugging construction materials around... even hatchbacks have been replaced by “crossovers” like the rav4 wihch is basically an updated wagon.…

Hyundai and Kia.

I just bought a 2016 Jaguar XF two months ago. It had 55k on it. I watched so many videos and read up so much to see how bad it would be when it starts to do “jag shit”.. it seems that at least since 2013 Jags havent been much worse on yearly maintenance cost than BMW or Audi. So far so good, but you better believe…

This is exactly the right approach, imo. Form follows function, and the reason we learned to love the sounds of gasoline engines is because it was a function of how they operate, and the best/biggest/highest revving ones sounded different from the crappy ones. So we associate “good” engine sounds with those.

I spent 20 years overseeing large workers’ compensation programs nationwide, including for several airlines. The constellation of stupid things people do that cause injury is so vast that if one doesn’t appreciate statistics at the start, one will eventually. You cannot train away human frailty; the most experienced…

That’s a $10 million engine.  Yes, they bother.

It seems pretty clear what happened now but I would say that with all the mess over understaffing and overworking everyone in this industry I could see someone being pressure into working more than they are safely capable

I cannot imagine being the crew (flight or ground) and witnessing that. Were it me, I don’t think I would be able to work in the industry anymore...

The report notes that the American Eagle employee manual specifies “the ingestion zone for all aircraft types is 15 feet,” and that personnel should not enter the ingestion zone until an aircraft’s engine or engines have fully spooled down and come to a stop.

During my stint in the Navy I was a technician for an aircraft called affectionately “The Hoover” (a S3 Viking) it had two very large Pratt and Whitney engines attached to it that had the same safe distance.

Not “he”.

To your Turo point, a quick search in my area, the first 4 Tesla listings all had a similar fee structure of bringing it back full or within 10% of the charge you received it or pay a 25-40 fee.

Seriously, you pair that with insane lease costs and you get what everyone else was saying to do for the past decade. The “don’t buy a new car” excuse won’t work much either pretty soon, because the technology will be head and shoulders above the used car and the price will be only a fraction higher it seems.

People arent leasing right now because the manufacturers have completely stopped subventing lease rates and residuals.

Where would people get this idea???
