In about 1989, my Mother decided that she needed a new car. She has little interest in anything other than something reliable that gets her from point A to point B. She wanted to keep the budget low, so a stripper model with a manual was what she was looking for.

Well, it lacks the accent of course (and a drunken slur) but it’s close.

That’s what I was trying to say, the earlier day had nothing to do with it. Not being there on the day and time of your flight, THAT’s the forfeit. Actually, it’s like 20 minutes before the departure time. I have seen people run to the gate at the last second and their seat is already gone.

Shopping in a grocery store wholly-owned by a German Family. So you are happy to send your money overseas to a former Axis power, but an American, born in America, doing nothing wrong is not OK? Man, what a bitch.

Uhhh, no.

I ran those same wheels on my ‘85. Saved the triangles for track use.

The 18yr old did not forfeit his seat by flying one day earlier, separate flight, new ticket purchase. Technically, he could have flown round-trip and been back for his seat on the plane the following day. The issue was simply that the name on the ticket did not match the butt in the seat, which is an issue. And…

Most planes cannot allow two lap infants in the same row. This is because there are 4 oxygen masks that drop down (one for each seat plus an extra) so having 5 people in a row is against safety regulations. I have seen this issue arise several times, and have even swapped seats to allow parents to sit across the…

The Ranger was boxy and boring, but also clean and simple. Saleen screwed that up.

I love Civics, they have been very good to me in the past, they were so fun to drive, I want Honda to return to their former glory, I WANT to like this car, but it is just so gut-wrenchingly ugly. At least they are allowing both the designers and the engineers to go wild. But seriously, I have one word for Honda…

With a name like Turnly, you’d think he could...well turn.

The Raptor is too big, too loud, too fast, too thirsty, too powerful and completely too much for a daily driver...and I’d give my left arm to have one.

Yeah, and how many people figure they can ride the coattails of United recent bad press and get away with whatever they want?

Gee, if there was only a Ford that was about $20k new, small, practical (maybe a 4-door hatch) with a slick 6-speed, incredible chassis, plenty of power but still decent mileage.

There is a similar effect the first time you see boobs.

A little backstory, that girl was totally into the driver, and after the photoshoot invited him back to her trailer for a “drink”. Upon finding out that he was actually gay and in a committed relationship, she was hurt and embarrased (the 80's were less enlightened) and turned her anger against him with a claim of…

There is a lot of bitching and moaning is from people who offer absolutely no alternative for how to handle the situation. What would you have done, not as some internet troll, but as CEO of a major airline? United has policies, governed by the FAA and reams of regulations. They had an issue, admittedly one caused…

I think you are seeing the ad all wrong. What I see is “For Sale, pristine 1990 Civic SI, totally stock, no rust, no mods, never raced, cared for by a family who drive it gently and kept up on maintenance.” I’d buy that sucker in a minute.

I bought a CX500 as a starter bike, ended up riding it for 10 years because it was just the perfect combination of size and power for me, with reliability that would shame the average brick. After 30 years of being ridden, the clutch cable snapped at it’s sharpest bend. That was the only failure I ever had.
