How FAs have handled seat changing in your experience does not make what I said BS, which I assume refers to my statements about the regs., since avery other statement you make is pretty much in agreement. Many of us have wide and varying experiences on airliners, which may have been handled in many ways by aircrews,…

First, I am no defender of United, and avoid the line as much as possible. T his was a case of bad decisions all around. The cabin crew had a perfect right, even a burdon of responsability to insist that she remain in her booked seat, at least until the airplane reached cruise altitude and the fasten seatbelt signs…

Ship it out in completed components, as a kit car. Most gearheads that would want one would jump at the chance to have a lego-simple build project , just for the fun of building it ...and bragging rights, of course. Be a little more affordable, and makes an end run around federal highway safety regs. At least in most…

The Hershey bar wings are supported by a tube spar, which is also the fuel tank. The dihedral is in the center carrythru. The inboard and outboard attach ribs are identical, so once you release the spar attaches, the wing slides off the spar and can be inserted in the other direction and the whole thing mounted on the…

The ultimate expression of this engineering design ethis was the Grumman AA1-B 'Yankee'. The wings were symmetrical, and could be mounted on either side, the ailerons, flaps, elevators, and rudder were interchangable, as were both horizontal and vertical rear stabilizers. The landing gear legs and mounts were…

For that matter ALL plastic headlight lens covers. Eventually the yall fog up and discolor, becoming an eternal pain in the ass to have to constantly restore, which is a downhill death spiral. AND they cost a bloody fortune to replace!

Back? Subaru never left.

It looks like it has a pop-up spoiler, look at the extra seams, aft last six inches of the trunk deck. Even has a notch to clear the fin when in the (hypothetical) up position.

Good for her.Our Outbacks served us well in NW Montana, Idaho and Washington. Maybe we won't read about another multi-million lottery winner dead broke in two years!

Better link ... www.2cvmeharifactory.com The source for all things2cv, parts, whole NEW cars!

BaginaFace, there is a company in Belgium that is building brand new 2CVs and Meharis, you can even pick your color and interior. They can't be imported into the US because as a new vehicle they don't meet safety standards, but Zut Allors! They will sell you a complete kit to your specs right down to the valve cover…

So I shouldn't buy one for my beachfront condo in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii? I wonder if I can find a Mehari? BTW, what kind of gas mileage does your 2CV get, in the real world?

I agree with all of the above, except choice of model. Go the simple life and put the balance of your funds into a retirement plan.

BTW bobcprimus, if you actually are a Brit, you might recall a little program called 'Lend Lease' that kept Britian and the USSR afloat for many years prior to our entry into th conflict. National selective memory indeed, eh?

Drifting for it's own sake is stupid. Karma is a heartless bitch.

This entire thread has been about 12/07/41, which is the day the U. S. entered WWII. And no, I do not have 'selective memory', it was a selective comment about our involvement. I am well aware of the theaters others had been at war. for the most part of a decade.

I have a long-time connection with Pearl Harbor, one of my relatives is entombed in the ship (look for the name Menefee). I first visited in 1953, before the monument was built (by Elvis Presely, BTW), when the Airizona was still recognizable as a ship, which we motored past in a launch.

Shoulden't tha be 'Run' Paul, since that's all he ever does?

Hey, you riffin' off my 'Republican't' name for the GOPers?

No, they are 'skilledier'!
