Daily earthquakes are really a myth... Just like every Californian inaccurately assumes that every state in the mid-west is getting pelted with tornadoes on a daily basis in the spring, people from other parts of the country assume the ground is always shaking here in Cali.

Yeah, they're wretched. Which is too bad because the cars themselves are amazing but mid-2000's Porsche had some pretty scary interiors.

Here's my problem with that car. Beautiful as it is, I thought it was an A6 when you first posted it. I've been shopping for Audis and I had to go to Google and pull up a picture of a current gen A6 to spot the differences and even then...

Great materials? Have you sat in a 996? Nevermind that the design is a throw-back to 1994. The materials are all hard and cheap feeling, manage to rattle, creak and moan even when the car is stationary and after just a few years in an average amount of sun fade to 12 different shades of the same color, setting off…

Dad here. 470hp 535, baby seat in the back, stroller in the trunk and a 2 year old that screams "weeeeee" around turns. It's only over if you let be over.

Oh my God you read my mind. I live in Laurel Canyon so this is part of my daily routine and it would be nice to know I could push it to failure and not fly off a cliff into the roof of some mansion.

This was the furthest thing from fast as hell. It's actually quite slow, doesn't get great gas mileage once beyond it's paltry 27 mile electric range, and sounds like a buzz saw. But yes, it is beautiful!

If people would stop looking at electric cars as the impending doom of the internal combustion engine maybe they wouldn't hate them so much. Electric cars don't generally save fuel or protect the environment any more than their internal combustion counterparts; they just hide all the ugliness that people associate…

If you live in LA you can still see some of the earlier roads.

We're arguing semantics but yes, while the act of sarcasm might be passive aggressive in itself, the act of writing a letter very clearly explaining your complaint and leaving your personal contact details is not, even if it was sprinkled with a dose of sarcasm. Overall the act doesn't seem very passive aggressive to…

I think you're confusing sarcasm for being passive aggressive. If this letter is anything it's direct, nothing passive about it.

No worries. Sit on the right side of the plane. That way you'll be able to see the Hollywood sign, downtown LA, Hollywood Hills, etc during final approach. Otherwise you'll be looking at Long Beach and smog.

I casually keep an eye out to see if other passengers decline in hopes that they'll come around and offer up the left overs. I prefer to have a buffet of warm cookies. One is just a teaser.

Check in online before you get to the airport. You don't need to be at the airport to check-in. You can do it online and Virgin actually sends you an email 24 hours before departure reminding you to check in.

You can check into your flight exactly 24 hours before departure. Try to check in as soon as you can and you'll see the option to upgrade to main cabin select as you're checking in. You'll also get an option to upgrade to first if that's available. It's something like $120.

Domestic? Virgin America by far. It's not even a competition though I haven't flown Jet Blue and I do hear good things about them as well. But at least compared to the big companies like Delta, American, United, Southwest, etc... Virgin's product blows them out of the water.

Not to mention the days of the $1000 - $2000 transmission rebuild are all but gone and that translates to a higher cost of ownership down the road. Most companies don't rebuild these transmissions; they just replace them.

They weren't. They did what everyone else has and assumed they could slap their label on something half assed and because it looks cool and says BMW on it people will buy it in droves.

Actually it's even better now. 20 minutes gives you a 50% charge (down from 30 minutes).

I didn't see anything in your post to suggest that you were disagreeing with me. :-)
