Are you suggesting that the F150 doesnt have recalls?!

That hill suuuuucks. My lasting memory of it was inching down in a whiteout in the middle of the night two xmas’ ago. just follow the guardrail....

“What is, spark plugs stuck in the head?”

I thought it was about to go full Mustang, but you are correct.

I’ll take Reliability and Resale for $200 Alex!

You got me there, but it didnt make my snarky math as snarky.

($20,000)/($5/GAL)*(42MILES/GAL) = 168K miles to break even.

This is still dangerous as well. 

Good on you! 

Good. Hope they raise their rates through the fucking roof.

Its a tough situation for sure and i totally agree with you that that was the logic that was used. However, i do take issue with the fact that the claim that “they followed all procedures”, is still in fact incorrect. They violated those procedures by turning it back on. Had they pulled back off the throttles, i am…

Gotta spin it all into his “anit-cop” post any way possible i suppose.

Yeah what if? Better for him to be agitated at the policeman than at me knocking on windows of a guy sleeping at the pump. 

...and conveniently omits that after the pilots followed Boeing’s instructions correctly, they then violated them by turning off the Stab Trim Cutout which allowed the runaway trim to continue.

Enjoy the moment, don’t fret about the “what if’s” in life. 

Ill be curious what they find with that part of the equation. Throttles left at 94% for that long, it makes sense that it was difficult to turn the screw. I am not versed enough in the SOP to know if the full throttle was the correct or incorrect procedure for the situation. 

This is just piss poor advice right here.

Did they follow procedures? They moved the STAB TRIM to cutout, which would prevent MCAS from continuing to trim in the AND direction, but moments before the crash, the Preliminary report indicated they turned the STAB TRIM out of cutout, and thus MCAS took over. The SOP as far as i know, is once it is in cut out, it…

This is misleading from what the preliminary crash report found. The disabled it but then re-engaged the electric trim, which violates SOP.

Is the Legend sporty enough for a stick? I always saw it as a GT car, comfortable highway cruiser, which an auto is perfectly acceptable. I dont see the Legend as a canyon caver or autocross type vehicle. I must be the exception, not the rule this time.
