I have no idea who is sitting behind me and I’m not going to do a survey. Get behind an exit row or bulkhead or pay for a business class seat. Your comfort is your responsibility. Reclining a seat is a normal function and not an aggression.

I feel for you but your beef is with the airline, not the person in front of you that paid for a reclining seat.

I have worked with many Japanese companies so let me try to explain. Weird outrageous stuff (by our standards) is normal for them (just look at their comic books, game shows, and print/TV advertising). To sell a campaign or product design, just create a mash-up of all the stupid stuff the other companies do and crank…

Because he is too smart to work for peanuts and informed writing doesn’t generate clicks like hot takes.

Atlanta has the enormous Caffeine and Octane show at a mall parking lot which attracts a few amazing old and custom cars. It also attracts a gazillion brand new Mustangs and Hellcats along with the look-at-me stancers, bosozoku exhaust, and coal rolling diesel truck bros. It is usually just not worth it to deal with…

Needless Markup indeed.

3rd Gear: Stellantis impacted by cathode ray tube shortage.

In Russia we have one car. You take or leave.

We have been told by airlines and aircraft manufacturers categorically that it is impossible for waste to escape from their airplanes. If I believe your story am I continuing a conspiracy theory? What if I tell someone I read it? What if I take it as further evidence that the experts, corporations, and media are full…

So what if I take my new Plaid/Hellcat/Mustang GT to the race track?

You bought a Tesla Plaid which you know is an extremely powerful machine. You let your friend drive it with little or no instruction. And he killed people. I don’t know if you’d win, but you can certainly make the argument.

We should start using Hydrogen. Much more fun to pop with a match.

Personally I like the look but my taste is definitely toward the quirky. I thought BMW viewed the i8 and i3 as technology studies in electrification, carbon fiber construction, and range extension. It was never going to make money but if as an R&D and marketing exercise it could have been successful. Then BMW fumbled…

Agreed. I was impressed with the front quarter view but then the rear and side views raised a wee bit of bile.

I hope you are not sharing such a small space with someone for whom you cannot either plan around or hold your breath and walk past.

My conversation with the salesperson starts with, “If you listen to me and help me get what I want this will be the quickest and easiest sale you ever made.” I will select a car of MY choice, make an offer that leaves margin for the dealer, and they can take it or not. I’m willing to listen but I am not willing to…

Don’t you visit the bathroom before sleeping?

Shouldn’t this article include a trigger warning for undocumented immigrants who were locked for hours inside a semi trailer?

If these CEOs were paying themselves $500k a year with investor money, THAT would be a story. Instead they are “paying” themselves with stock so their incentives are exactly aligned with investors - make the stock price go up so they can sell it. I don’t believe Faraday Future will ever produce a car so I don’t buy…

As a sentient self-aware human I am perfectly capable of assessing my own needs. I need a salesperson to be able to tell me all the blue 4 door sedans they have in stock that are under $35,000 out the door and then retrieve the keys of my choice.
