Why would you preserve a car with one mile if it’s not “as an investment”? 

Well, at least owning and maintaining this car kept at least 3 owners from donating more to Trump’s legal defense fund.

Close second: “City or highway mile?”

He never was too bright, that one. 

The seller’s defensive replies about the car are the best part of that auction. 

A 959 with low miles is even sadder than a Challenger with low miles. At least the 959 is fun to drive. 

O’hare may be the better equipped maintenance center. With unknown damage, you want to get back on the ground ASAP. A deflating tire(s) might make a good landing but be a possible disaster after a few flight hours. 

“Let me spend 50k to buy and insure a car that I will never drive and will have to keep pristine for it to *checks notes* still decrease in value.”

Possibly concerns that the damage was to the doors and that retracting the gear might cause even more problems. No interest in flying at the very low speed limit with gear-extended.

Look at it this way - it’s keeping another one of these POSes off of the street and we’re all safer for it.

The problem is, the pilots have no way of knowing just how bad the damage was. Maybe it’s just a big mess, maybe it damaged a hydraulic line, or downlock, or would jam up and freeze after 3 hours at altitude and prevent the nose gear from extending. Much better to return; especially considering Chicago is a United…

Planes are remarkably fragile things, constructed of the lightest and thinnest materials possible. Plus it was Boeing, so half broken before the Acme Enthusiast got anywhere near it.

Probably an insurance thing. If incident happened at airport A, then going to Airport B and discovering further issues there which might cause damage to their facility while landing means that any insurance now has to negotiate with more people. Especially just in case you need to divert to Airport C along route in…

My flight out of DC nearly hit Elon’s ego at 40000 ft

I’m going to say that the “standards of professional conduct” were violated by the other employees. As always, fuck dealerships.

$1.00 to enter.
$150 to leave.

I have lived in Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn. I hated traveling by motor vehicle through lower Manhattan, but to be honest it was the most logical way to get from Brooklyn to Newark Liberty Airport. The crossings from New York to New Jersey are managed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which also…

They feel entitled to the congestion money precisely because they benefit from New York. First, this is about appeasing the voters of NJ who commute to NYC, the majority of whom oppose congestion pricing. Second, it’s about revenue; NJ shares in the tolls collected by the bridges and tunnels that connect NJ to NYC.…

There’s a part of me that wants to see this come to fruition, and I can just sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch the shenanigans unfold.

“You need to have New York at the table and New Jersey has leverage.”
