All well and good until the car in front of you hits the brakes while you’re shoulder checking. A proper mirror setup should allow you to keep the front of your car in your peripheral vision at all times and still not get surprised by cars behind you. That way you can react to something behind or ahead of you.

So... maybe now do a bit on setting up your side view mirrors to actually look at the side, instead of the rear? That way you have no blind spots. I’m still amazed how many people don’t know about this.

I like it but when reading this I felt myself gazing longingly at the old NSX.

Absolutely. A lot of purists lamented that this new generation of the NSX is quite different on paper from the original car that was on sale from 1990 to 2005. But what makes it similar is that the NSX is still a technical exercise of what was possible with an exotic car in its day, executing brilliantly packaged…

China forces US firms to transfer IP to Chinese firms ...

You r idiots. The Chinese impose a 25% Tariff on our cars we 2.5%. For us to build in China we have to partner with their companies. They can own American companies but we can’t own theirs. Start looking at facts instead always faulting Trump. You lose all credibility with this bull.

That was painfully infuriating to watch. So service on commercial flights is this bad, that on top of everything else they just kick people off flights who are doing nothing and buckled in, ready to go. That dad’s restraint was remarkable.

To be clear, if Delta were to try booting me and my family off of a plane away from home in the middle of the night, there will be police involved, followed by lawyers. What in the hell is going on with the airline industry? So you kick the mom, dad and infant off a plane in Maui with no hotel and no other…

Congratulations Delta, you could have walked 50 feet to the terminal at the boarding gate and changed the name on the ticket. Instead, you decided to be pedantic and create negative publicity for yourself. Should the guy have approached someone at the gate or terminal entrance and explained his situation so you could…

I don’t think this was as much about following the rules as much as it was about squeezing another fare out of an already-booked flight. But either way, fuck Delta.

It’s not “fundamental to air travel”. God didn’t reach out from heaven and scribe down on a sacred stone tablet that “Thou shalt not tranfer seats!”

Common sense is sadly not so common these days.

Neat story, but what about the part where the airline employee either blatantly lied or made up an FAA rule about children in a car seat.

Nope, they are not transferable so they can charge people the higher rate for booking the tickets at the time of purchase while also not offering any refunds for the person that original relinquished the seat.

It’s ok to be rational. Looking at this situation rationally, Delta followed the rules and yet did all the wrong things. Even taking away the human perspective, the bad PR and the idiotic way it makes them look is a good incentive for them to change “the way they do business”. The press, blogs, media, exist to call…

Good riddance?

Congratulations on failing to understand literally fucking anything.

Don’t get me started.

This is the Honda Civic hatch that should have been.

I thought I might listen for a few minutes, but not 40. Then it was over and I was sad. It’s great to know that there are really passionate people doing this amazing work, even if I never get to drive one.
