There’s a big difference between taking the engine up to the rev limiter, and actual over-revving which can only really be caused by downshifting.

That’s my thought, too. I’m not blaming owners like Peter, but Hyundai. At least they made good by him but nothing makes up for the frustration and time lost.

If I could sell back a portion of my sick time, or got paid out for it if I leave, I would probably use less of it. Like you had, I currently have about 240 hours banked. It’s kind of a balancing act of deciding how much of this paid benefit I want to use, and being prepared if a serious medical problem arises that…

“Jalopnik may receive a commission for any vehicles purchased via this article”

Yeah, doesn’t seem like much of a discount when you can get a new one (different trim) for less.

I mean, it couldn’t possibly be due to anything management is doing... right? No reason to take an introspective look at their management practices, or how their insane CEO treats them. 

$70-80k... and they wonder why nobody is buying them?

If Germany’s labor protections are so rife for abuse, why is the average sick day usage so much lower across the country than at this one plant?

Did Elon propose calling Thierig and Demmler the Sick Squad, or SS for short?

The person was standing. They were pulled to the floor and fell.

TCAS works again! 

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

Having experienced a breach of a much smaller scale, we paid for identity protection for the known sufferers. The insurance we carried was helpful, but once we made a claim the price of the insurance skyrocketed. When we asked about for how long we could expect those prices to remain high, we were told “for the…

Just to clarify, the aircraft didn’t likely blow its tires DURING the braking event. Aircraft tires have pressure release plugs that allow a “controlled blowout” if things get too hot. This is to prevent a more violent, catastrophic explosion of the tire which could cause damage to the aircraft both externally, and…

Good for her. Can any of us imagine Ted Cruz doing something like this? (assuming he even had the compassion for others or the skill to do it). 

Like I hate to have to defend this couch fucking never ordered a doughnut in his like shit bag, but this has nothing to do with him, other than it was his campaign plane. This is 100% on the pilot now knowing what the fuck he was doing or where he was going.

Toyoburu also gets one in the + column if it’s your only car. While not exactly spacious, it has a lot more room for hauling stuff than a Miata (unless you have to haul, like, a really really tall lamp that fits in a passenger seat).

When this baby hits 40 miles an hour...

That place has “sad and lonely” written all over it.

They might be going out of “fashion” for large transport-category aircraft but it’s the only solution for business jets with their much smaller engines and cowlings. Maybe somebody will put arresting wires across a runway someday and every landing will be like a carrier trap.
