It’s more impressive still when you consider a base model Toyota or Honda today is equipped like a top of the line model in the nineties (barring leather maybe), so the gap is even greater. 

Yes. Here’s the report I read on it last week.

Porsche specifically “tuned” the Taycan to avoid this very thing. It can do it all day long. Also, heat soak is a thing for ICE vehicles too. Look at multiple dyno runs to see the steady decrease of wheel HP.

It would be nice if the article pointed out that, while United did have 9 aircraft with the faulty component (which were purchased from another airline), they have all been fixed and there is not a single US operator now flying 737's with this issue.

The thing is, sick time is part of compensation. You want to see fewer “unsubstantiated” sick calls, then offer buy backs. “Use it or lose it” is the worst; I left 265 hours of sick leave on the table (over $20k in value) when I changed jobs years ago and I still feel like a chump. Meanwhile, I’ve worked other places…

I know we have our problems and total lack of labor protections here in the US, but this seems like it would be pretty illegal over here right? Does Germany/Europe not have their own version of HIPAA? I know an employer can require a Dr’s note, but home visits seem pretty outrageous.

Yeah, “big discount” in the title had me thinking in the $40k range at most. $63+k discounted is still too much.

The Solara would be my real vote, but since it’s taken - how about the Cadillac of... uh... fwd, convertible Cadillacs for less than $15k?

As a rule, it’s perfectly safe and the systems here worked the way they are supposed to. Every day, virtually every flight in the world is operated in this fashion.

1000' is normal separation for traffic in the air. And once below 18000', separation can be as little as 500' vertically.

I’m sure he has concepts of plans for that too.

I do wonder if these sorts of institutions have decided it’s cheaper to offer Identity Protection services to the actual people that might be hurt and leave the rest to insurance, washing their hands of the whole mess. 

I appreciate knowing my old Celica can hold up so well - and also a reminder of why one should wear a seatbelt.

Not only not the a-hole, but no need to even ask. Block a driveway, get towed. That's a fundamental rule pretty much everywhere regardless of all the rest. 

Another vote for the GR86/BRZ. A little extra space makes a huge difference in making it livable as an only car, meanwhile it’s still eminently capable and comfortable for all but the absolute largest of drivers.

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but the back glass of the  late model Suburban/Tahoe family is not included in the alarm system. People will pop it open with a screwdriver and steal the third row seats to resell on FB Marketplace.

You answered in the article for me. If I never see the holy trinity of douchebaggery - late-model Mustang/Challenger/Charger - I’ll be happy. 

Seems like if you are genuinely interested in this (and the automatic would kill it for me), then there’s no harm in entering if it means you are guaranteed to be able to buy it at MSRP vs whatever the inevitable dealer extortion might be. But at only 250 units, I’d be very surprised if they didn’t all get “awarded”.…

On the one hand - isn’t this the “dream” of capitalism fully realized?

If this were the case it’d be behind a secret door accessed via button hidden in the head of Shakespeare.
