The (manual) transmissions are notorious for being made of glass, too... I owned 3 c900's over the years and they all had some form of transmission woes.

You see, if you drove a Tesla you wouldn’t have any gears...

If you’re going to dim them a lot, its good to try them out in your home before buying in bulk (although these also would work just fine in a non-dimmed application). I found only a few bulbs so far that dim acceptably for my own purposes.

It would be better if it auto-subbed words rather than simply rejecting them.

They thought my mom might have chronic Lyme at one point, until she finally got a CT scan and they found melanoma all over her body. She died within 12 months.

Dealers will take the cars - it’s just the offers you’ll get are kind of like them spitting in your face.

Vehicle Titles, registration, tags - Not sure how well this will all work based on the different laws in different states.

DIA has 4 north-south runways and so anytime the wind is out of the east or west (like when we get upslope storms) and they want to keep the main runways open you’ll be seeing a lot of crosswind landings. Pilots are well-trained to handle these conditions so it’s generally a safe condition.

Wind shear is actually a different (more scary) phenomenon than crosswind where wind speed and direction changes suddenly on approach, sometimes causing planes to lose airspeed and stall.

I just made a simple spreadsheet to track my running costs on all my cars. IRS rate is 54 cents per mile - Currently, my dieselgate Jetta TDI is well under that at 31 cents. My wife’s ST is well over it at around 65 cents a mile, but we financed all the maintenance through 100k miles so that value will only go down as…

What is the statute of limitations on this kind of thing?

I was sitting at about $18k on KBB pre-scandal for my ‘13, it’s more like $12k now. However in those 6 months I did put 15k more miles on the car.

Even the cheap-o Wusthof knives with the plastic handles are very good knives.

Charging stations will be like parking meters in cities eventually. They are already at commodity-level pricing especially if you buy in bulk. The infrastructure will be a little harder, but demand response technology and renewables like solar and wind can be put to good use on this type of thing. If you had enough…

I asked my wife yesterday if there’s anything about the old Jetta she missed from the new car, and all she said was “the old car heated up quicker” but other than that, everything is better.

Increasing the incline does increase the effort. To achieve the same amount of work, monitor your heart rate during an outdoor run and try to match that on the treadmill by playing with the incline.

Friend of mine had the same exact car. Got T-boned one day by some dumbass. What a great ride. I never owned a Viggen but I’ve had plenty of Saabs; I went with a Focus ST last time I was in the market, which is a very similar car to the Viggen.

I think for the murder charge to stick they will have to prove intent. This is textbook manslaughter if you ask me. Tragic, yes. Avoidable, yes. Intentional... no. Not sure what the punishment for manslaughter is, but I’m sure it’s still a fair bit of jail time.

I don’t think today’s high-bypass style engines would fit on the fuselage in the same way. They need all the room they can get for the massive fan at the front of the engine. Older-style turbofans were smaller and less efficient and could be mounted more easily on the fuselage. Comparing the original 737 engines to…

They just raised their insurance prices, which is probably why they are offering this.
