I borrowed one in 2018, in Wales. A clattery old NA diesel with 200k-ish miles and poorly tuned, proven by clouds of soot at a cold start. But man did I love driving that car in Wales. Very comfortable, very fun in a slow car fast way and more capable than the narrow tires would make you believe. I was told by people…

Dear Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealership owners,

Harry remembers what the European press did to his mother, and all women that don’t fit the “Royal mold”.  Good on him for choosing his wife and child over a country who’s media is dead set on destroying them.  

A bunch of troll ass motherfuckers showing up here for an opportunity to shit on a black woman. Ignore then

I expect this kind of vitriol regarding Meghan from the Brits but why so much hate on the Root for her? Knock it off. She does not deserve this!!!

BS. I know Troy and he’s greasy as hell. His ounces are 26 grams at best.

A Troy Ounce is slightly larger than an ounce. It’s 31.1 grams. 

This is horrifying. I work in aerospace for one of those greedy, profit-driven meat grinder corporations and yet, if anyone were to display this attitude, even verbally, we’d dox that person and have them fired in a second.

At some point, you have to stop blaming this shit on the beancounters after seeing email after email of Boeing engineers showing nothing but contempt for regulators and pilots alike. 

They are correct, those communications do not reflect the company that they are and you shouldn’t judge the entire company based on what a few people in it did.

“These documents do not represent the best of Boeing. The tone and language of the messages are inappropriate, particularly when used in discussion of such important matters, and they do not reflect who we are as a company or the culture we’ve created.”

They jumped on the MAX bandwagon to combat Airbus and their NEO options. Boeing was terrified of losing market share in the single-aisle market and a new airframe would’ve taken years to develop, test, and put into service whereas an “upgrade” would skip many of the pesky rules and regulations.

Boomers put that stuff in emails.

Bare with me on this:

What even is with Boeing right now?

“These communications do not reflect the company we are”

Yeah. Rule number one of corporate communication is to leave no embarrassing paper trail.

A hint you might have designed a horrible plane : special training is required to combat the automatic, self-destruct feature.

Maybe because Renault’s plan for them has always been don’t invest, cut costs, and bleed every last bit of market value from a company that use to have good products. 

Neutral: The Ghosn movie would probably be excllent. The real question is: Who plays Carlos Ghosn? My money is on Oliver Platt but Ghosn probably expects it to be Brad Pitt or something.
