Just buy a damn 4Runner: The Car

I spotted this video, taken by mechanic and off-road enthusiast Jessica Elizabeth, on Facebook, and figured I’d share it with you, dear Jalopnik readers

There is always a knee-jerk attack against people who don’t join the hive mind on issues like this. I think J.K. Rowling’s attitude on the subject is hurtful and troubling, however that’s not all that she is. Turning people into caricatures because they disagree isn’t right. I’m certainly not famous or wealthy, but I…

In the end, though, December is over and the first thing I did in the New Year was take my 912E for a very loud and very gasoline-powered drive.

Would you rather we have more poor people than more rich people?

2nd one was completely pilot error, but sure, lets go with that. Oh and the airline lied about training. I as a random asshole on the internet knew at the time that flaps locked out MCAS. He retracted flaps when things started going wrong.

It’s fine. The plane is good. I’m a commercial aircraft mechanic, I’m flying on one in two weeks, and I couldn’t care less.

And that is a fair assesment, but when you have already completed 99% of the process, starting all over may not be the best use of your time, especially if the dealer will give in and pull the nonsense from the quote.

YES PLEASE. $26K for this pseudo 70 series 4x4 albeit with a 4 cylinder motor and the steering wheel straight from Cadillac and a cluster that appears to be parts bin GM? With 100K powertrain warranty and 60K bumper to bumper?  Are those tail lights and the tire cover leftover from the last Isuzu Trooper sold in the…

Because it was subcontracted out to Alfa Romeo? 

DMLS (or LMF as called here) still has a ways to go before it really infringes on traditional casting methods.  The weight savings and internal coolant passages are neat, but the production time and cost is still too high to be a viable option for mass production.

Like Nissan has money to make an R36

Something in those A320/A321s buzzes the whole damn flight. 

I’ve gotten to the point where I totally agree you you. Wear a mask, keep your distance, use hand sanitizer. Quality of life should be a consideration in our continued existence, too. 

Look, we can either continually hyperventilate about the fact that, yes, Americans are not locking down as much as they should, or, you know, figure out ways to handle things that allows for that. This is starting to read like the people who argue for abstinence only sex education for teenagers.

Lance may be the son of a billionaire...but he doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as this piece of work. 

Consensus is that the A380 is even useless for cargo. The airframe itself weighs so much that it would have the same or less payload capability than a 747-8 or 777F (or a 777-300 freighter if/when they convert those), with older engine tech that makes it less efficient than either of them.

The A380 has already been…

737s are not widebody planes. A widebody plane is one in which you have two aisles, with three groups of seating across.

The 737 is a narrowbody aircraft.

You think that a 4500lb Camry with 30 more horsepower will be faster than a 2800lb YarisGR?
