The fact that the VW Phaeton isn’t in this list is just poor journalism.

what a fucking pratt

But we all lose. Anyone here interested in air travel? Well put your damn hands down because lawsuits like these, if successful, will end economical flying. The Spirit/Jet Blue merger just fell through... I smell blood in the water for one or both of them. They were merging for a reason and that reason is viability.…

In other words... it’s a stupid idea. Agreed.

I love how, at the end of the day, the airports “sincere apology” was really just a fuck you. If we’re doing maintenance, you have to go... no evaluation of how to adapt to accommodate passengers... no real recognition that it left people in unreasonable conditions despite it not being any fault of those people. That…

I see a lot a shiny black plastic. I also think the long center screen DOES look stupid and not integrated any better than Ford or GM.

I would NOT have paid $3,800 for this thing brand new IN 1988!

She’s an idiot. Almost not worth the pixels to write about, but I like hearing a story like this periodically.

They are all horrid. Porsche came to (or stayed in) their senses. Does make you wonder what mystery brew of drugs the designers were on at the time.

ahhh Florida... you never cease to entertain us.

Well... while I can certainly see the logic in not wanting to get your Cybertruck WET, I wonder if stainless steel is a viable surface for ceramic coating. I know this doesn’t completely resolve the issue, if it is legitimate rust and there is a long-term concern about damage, but it would protect the visible exterior.

I had a Phaeton W12 and it was an insanely fantastic car. Could other examples... where most cars have 1 windshield wiper motor, the Phaeton has two (one for each blade). Additionally, when it parks the blades when it’s done wiping, every other park it flips the blade on the glass so it’s not always resting on the…

For all the videos that show reckless driving (especially while attempting to flee or evade the cops), I’m behind this for that class of people. 

It’s not even an SVT! Additionally, odds are that you were unlikely to even pay the $14,000 sticker back for that car when it was new.

I feel like this is a situation, that with a little patience, will work itself out.

I really don’t understand why oversized loads like this don’t find out train schedules and have a list of level crossings that may pose difficulties with a contingency plan. There are too many videos of stuff like this happening. Ultimately the company(ies) that own the trucking/shipping company need to be responsible…

It’s not about whether they were designed for semis or not. They were designed for what you described... it’s just that the laws of physics dictate that it will be more successful in some circumstances than others. I would venture that plenty of reports have been written during and after the design of guardrails…

21 starts is nothing for someone that does a lot of city driving. I’m not saying this repair is gonna kill you if you have to do it, say, every 10 years, but I’m not sure why 21 was chosen as the variable here.

Some EVs are actually causing tires changes to be necessary at oil change intervals! That’s effing ridiculous. Additionally, we have a severely aging roadway infrastructure. Surely you’re aware that the majority of interstate bridges are well beyond their lifespan. Weight is an issue in almost every way... it affects…

We always have a truck problem.
