I don't know how it is done in real life, but in Need For Speed, they call for back up ... 

Maybe we should go back to 1910 tech where you have to manually use a lever to pump oil and do the spark advance yourself. Kids have it so easy these days with fuel injection.

“Sir, please return to your middle seat.”

May wanna re-read the article.

I’d push the attendant call button then hide.

similar story. I had a one-stop flight, Rochester NY to Minneapolis then to Seattle. The first flight was cheap to upgrade, and the second was not, but upgrading just one leg included two checked bags, all the way to my destination. So I upgraded just that first leg for about what the bags would have cost, in coach.

Whoa... how do you know about the hot nuts if you’re not sneaking up here during the flight? GET BACK TO STEERAGE, PEASANT! :)

“Checking prices” and ‘using less miles” are two different things.

Same goes for other types of upgrades as well. My wife and I did a guarantee room on a cruise and got assigned the absolutely worst possible room on the ship (interior room next to a loud equipment room and underneath a hard floor in the casino). We looked at an immediate step above ours (ocean view) for an upgrade to…

I think one of the most damning things is that I’m an avid car guy who used to be able to identify every single model on the road by headlights... and I didn’t even know the Ecosport was a real car until you posted this comment and I googled it. I sounds like a trim level, or a name for a variant of the Ecoboost…

If i were buying a Tesla, i would opt for the All-Weather package, unlike these two cheapskates.

Yes, but this being at automotive site, the term bench should supercede the word “bench”.

Don’t count on this working. A lot of companies will just give up if your credit card fails, but there are plenty of crappy companies out there that take the view, “you signed a contract, and you haven’t canceled, so you still owe us money.” These companies can let the charges accrue for YEARS, and then send your…

As someone that has flown close to 2 million butt in seat miles, I am less worried about a plane built in 1980 than an taxicab built in 2015. The FAA and similar organizations in developed countries requires meticulous maintenance to highly rigorous standards. Planes require periodic checks at fixed intervals up to…

Try not to get too heated. You might be angry, but nobody wants to help out an irrational person.

Meanwhile, on NJ Transit...

Brah, why you harshing my mellow?

“ I just hope nobody I care about gets taken out by one of these idiots.”

Well it’s white, so it will obviously generate far more income than it’s worth.

And not to mention that one of the main thrusts of the story was how the redditor (and the onsite paramedics and tow truck driver) indicated how that if it was an ICE vehicle, the redditor would likely be dead from that kind of crash. Redditor quote: “All in all it is a phenomenal car and I owe my life to Tesla.”
