“average domestic itinerary air fare” doesn’t tell you if low cost fares have gone down. It tells you that the average has gone down. Of course the average has gone down, they have squeezed in more coach seats than ever and removed a ton of business/first class seats.

Counterpoint, when I moved to CA 7 years ago, a roundtrip to Boston was pretty easily found for $130. By last year, the lowest fair was $240. There is no added convenience, the flight takes longer, I have less leg room than I did 7 years ago, and I’m pressed to find a single way in which flying is better. In fact, I…

I want to put the engine and transmission from this BMW K1600

That HOA response reads like it was written by someone who thinks prayer kills viruses and that reacting to a problem is much better than being proactive. I hope these folks sneeze on the HOA's request form.

The best message I’ve ever gotten from someone was a LinkedIn message from someone I know through work. She and her husband live in SF and we’re looking for a small luxury sedan with a manual. They bought a G70 manual and couldn't be happier. Regular people buying manuals is soooooo awesome.

Next time, take JetSuite to Concord and I’ll pick you up with the Exocet. Very different experience.

If you changed your bulbs for CFLs, you probably did more harm than good environmentally. Those contain about 4mg each of Mercury vapor. If you break one, you're supposed to open a window then leave the room for 10 minutes (evacuating children and pets first). As Mary Berry would say...scrummy.

“Journalism”, brought to you by an education system that gives you a diploma for just showing up. Also brought to you by helicopter moms.

This is a good take. 

It’s actually belching. Not farts.

Someone’s been watching the vegan propaganda on Netflix...

I think the Germans already tried it your way. 

This was a weird thing. Supposedly the Mitsubishi MiEV Evolution was supposed to preview electric AWD technology for the Evo XI. But we never got an Evo XI. So.... yeah. Evo owners are pretty limp out there. 

Not all cars are warp capable.

Personal responsibility needs to make a comeback. If you didn’t read the manual, do your research, and ask the right questions before taking ownership, then it’s still your fault. If you misuse the features of your own vehicle, it’s still your fault. If you take your car up top 150mph on tires rated to 142mph and they…

Do we really need more legislation?

Triggered much?

Someone should talk to a suspension engineer about how this changes things. A tire acts as a spring so it will certainly effect how the rest of the suspension is sprung.

I do love that XKR-S though.

This is my issue with the aerospace (as in air) world. Their answer to “we need NYC to Sydney” is “let’s figure out how to make it suck less for 20 hours” rather than “let’s figure out how to make it happen in 10".
