Here is my take: Toyota has built their reputation on making long-term, reliable vehicles. All Toyota buyers assume the car they buy from Toyota will run for 250,000 miles and last over 20 years. The problem is that battery tech is not there yet. On average an EV owner is lucky to get maybe 10-12 years before the…

I mean they are not wrong. But they should aim to at least create Prime versions of all their popular cars. Like the Sienna. It’s prime for Prime.

As a frequent business traveler I rarely find there to be much in it for rates from the rental Big Three (and the budget brands are annoying enough that I won’t rent from them). But the Hertz points system for reward was miles better than how the others do it. I’ll still rent from them once a year to keep my points…

Nah, everyone one is allowed to put one thing (up to max carryon size) in the overhead compartment.

You’re going on a two hour flight.  You don’t need to wear pajamas and bring your pillow unless you’re narcoleptic.

People have made the same mistake with New Mexicans. People are dumb.

People who jump up and crush towards the front of the plane as soon as it comes to a stop, then stand in line impatiently with zero understanding of how long it takes to attach the jetway.

People that act offended when you show even the slightest bit of annoyance at kids being awful on flights. No, I don’t expect perfect behavior from something with an undeveloped brain and the attention span of a gnat, but you have to understand that a kid being disruptive is extremely grating and irritating. You had…

Complaining. You get reliable, affordable access to 90% the speed of sound at 7 miles up in relative comfort with safety greater than almost any other form of transit. You can circumnavigate the world in less than a day with your credit card. Don’t like small seats? You can pay for bigger ones. Don’t like babies…

a: My arm rest is not your foot rest.

(On the new airplanes with the bigger luggage racks) The people that refuse to flip their suitcase vertical, despite the flight attendant repeating the instructions every 2 minutes during boarding.

... and when you do recline, do it slowly, give the person behind you a bit of warning - don’t just slam your seat back and smash the laptop of the person behind you.

Agreed. My corollaries would be:

There’s not really any evidence that late model aircraft can be impacted in any way by cellular devices. Just because the FCC still forbids it doesn’t mean there’s any logic behind it. To make it relevant to Jalopnik, look how long it took the government to legalize matrix headlights here, despite them having been…

Don’t recline your seat during food service. I don’t need to have your headrest hovering impeding the consumption of my nondescript food. Once food services are over and its time for our sketchy nap, recline away.

THANK YOU!!! Don’t crowd the aisle or make a bum rush for the door when the plane stops, but I’m gonna fucking stand up. A lot of the time I don’t even go to the bathroom if it isn’t an emergency because I don’t want to be a bother asking people to get up, so I am for sure standing when we stop because I haven’t for 5…

Puerto Rican here.

The people who bitch about other people standing up when the flight lands.  I’ve been sitting for potentially hours.  My knees hurt.  I just want to stretch.  I know I’m not going anywhere.

They’ll get what they want/need to operate equipment of western origin, but they won’t get as much as they need and they’ll be paying a lot more for it. 

Someone should have helped those jerks off the train at that point.
