I somehow made this happen on Virgin Atlantic once, Boston to London. A 747, cute, young female airline employee at check-in “have you flown on the upper deck, would you like to?” Me (“good looking” guy) “OK, sure”. No extra charge, sleeping fully reclined in 1st class on the upper deck overnight to London (they…

At Boston Logan, upon merely entering the security line I had a security guard - not TSA, not Airline personnel - tell me I “had to” check my bag because it “too big.” Utter bullshit. Notice the sign (from the actual airline) says “we can help you decide”. I literally said “who the fuck are you to tell me I have to…

next time you’re on a plane, take the airsick bag when you leave, put it in your car - one is each door-side pocket is recommended. Insurance. Alternatively the bubble-wrap bags used for small FedEx packages is largely water-tight (while kept upright, that is..) and can hold more than enough hurl-age to allow you to…

Did you know that Mr. Williams died this week at the age of 100? http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/06/bus…

are there areas where roadside “fans” build notoriously difficult jumps, invisible sinkholes, etc? I would think any veteran roadside viewer could look at the obstacle and know “yeah, this is gonna flip the buggies, mira ese...”

Not at all surprising considering that the South Koreans are by far the most bleeding-edge new technology deployers/consumers on the planet. Have been for over a decade, at least. I suspect the vague details they provided are likely due to the fact that some of the technology they know will be available to them in the…

conversely, I’d hope that anyone building any replica of their own (for love, not for sale) as a one-off work of art/homage would be commended “Wow, you built that in your basement...? amazing...” I believe international/US patent/IP law does endorse such art/homage on many levels. (Myself I’m building a Bugatti…

One day closer to being intimate with this whole list...

kid - all your life, never be ashamed to ask to drive something cool. might be a once in a lifetime chance. “NOW can I drive it?” <- this, yes, keep it up, fun will follow

Yeah, FJ all the way....

Gotta see Season 2 of “Broadchurch” on Netflix. She’s great.

Man I wish I knew what “

How is it so many people end up hooning/shooting (video, etc.) in the LA river? Can’t be “legal” I suppose. They have “track days” or something?

Audi, definitely, and I still love the car. I picture German engineers.. “Why make something simple, zen-like and easy to access/work-on? we’ll leave that to the Japanese... let’s make the most-complicated, but at the same time-insanely-impressively-engineered-&-complex solutions while also requiring an expensive…

nice quick drive-by of their 4th amendment rights “Can you open the trunk for me please?...” I wonder if the cops would show up when the people reached out to them (and presume for a second they didn’t have Tesla $$$) “Help us please. The state government has illegally denied us SNAP benefits we need to feed our…

All day long. Love it. eat eat eat.

leftovers from “BMW Driving Experience” all over the US. They put 10-15,000 VERY HARD miles on those cars, then tear them apart to check structural integrity, etc.

I love all the concept(s) but these guys really need an industrial designer who can make their craft decent looking in the end. These things are overall pretty unsightly

Driving into the surf is a great way to get rid of evidence in the car (drugs, etc.) Or.. he was just high/crazy...

Catholic Hypocrisy? Shocked I tell you. shocked..!
