Does the 777 have “let the autopilot land the damn plane” mode? 

another needlessly expensive hassle

Does it have to be, though?  My furnace filter is 40 bucks if I find it on sale, replace it every two months.

Good point. My HVAC system barely works anymore compared to when it was new, because the filter is clogged with dust and pet hair. Time for a new house, I guess.

“Cozy” - wow, color me surprised, an RV built out of a school bus is “cozy.”

I was going to vote the same truck. Drove a 26-footer from Austin to Dallas in the late 1990s. I drove a VW with a stick so I thought it’d be ok. But - the truck had been around a long time and had obviously been driven by people who never drove a manual. The gears would barely engage if you sync’d the revs just right…

If you like the tech in vehicles, F1 is where it’s at. Racing and war spark the quickest, most radical technical changes, whether it’s a fighter jet or carbon fiber brake discs.

To me “supercar” is more about price and outlandish horsepower.

1) “Sports Car” is a specific type of car. Small, lightweight, ONLY two seats, rear-wheel-drive. Preferably convertible but a convertible should definitely be available. The driving experience should be paramount in the car’s design, with little else to distract. If there’s no room to bring home a week’s worth of…

When you *really* don’t want people to know, you turn off your transponders.

Maybe you haven’t heard, there’s this cool invention called the scroll wheel. Lots of computer mice have them, here’s a well-rated one:

“They don’t have to drive from the suburbs.”

The Right is now ok with protests blocking highways? Good to know, thanks.

C’mon, man.

They couldn’t pay me to take a mid-’80s GM vehicle. No Dice.

Can we stop calling these bozos “protesters” and call them what they are?

You mean the fastener already covered in a previous installment of this series and linked in the first paragraph of this story?

My dad had a colleague who had an Imperial, probably in the ‘69-’73 generation. All I remember is it was huge, and white. White everywhere. He gave me a ride to school and my dad a ride to work one day when my dad’s car was in the shop. We had a mid-’60s F0rd LTD with admittedly awesome headlight eyelids, but damn if…
