It said she missed the flight, so it sounds like it was a problem she created from the start by being late an expecting an entire plane to wait for her spoiled ass.

I know it’s not a word we use often State side, but what a cunt. 

My Panamera does. 26 gallon tank. In my normal driving, I average around 22mpg. That’s getting close to 600 miles. If I’m not going to work that week, and I’m doing all city street driving, it drops down to 18-19mpg, but even then, that’s only a hair under 500.

Even 250 miles will get you to the outer bands of a hurricane, which isn’t nearly as bad as the epicenter. And if you heed warnings and forecast, you can easily be out of the area before it hits anyway.

Depreciation: then go buy a slightly used EV that has already been hit with the depreciation hammer. That’s what I did and with the $4k tax credit it was a fantastic deal!

I agree, I was meaning excluding all the other crap. I found a website that works out all the timing of average security wait times, whether the flight is usually on time, getting through the airport on the other end etc.. Really useful. You can factor in your costs or ticket x time vs. driving time x cost of fuel…

Add motion sickness and the constant fear of crashing into this and you’ve covered literally all of the main reasons I hate flying. I drive almost everywhere and fly only when I have no choice. If I could drive to Europe, I would. 

If an electric vehicle has a problem it averages 25,000 gallons of water to extinguish a fire. Large capacity battery vehicles likely require much more. Difficult to obtain that much water on an Offroad trail. 

Is there a such thing as a “two-hour” flight? When you factor in getting to the airport and all of the hubbaballu you mentioned above, a flight that’s in the air for two hours takes more like 6-8 hours from end-to-end on a good day.

All of this.

It’s not as bad as Ed’s awful green loafers. I can’t un-see them.

My new boss asked me why I drive instead of fly. My answer consisted of the words “Logan” and “Newark”.

Share your sentiment. The Veyron is a pointless car owned by people who have a pointless amount of money. As a technological exercise? Fascinating. As a car? Boring. If someone drove a Veyron to my house I’d drive it to wherever I could sell it first and that’s it. Same thing with every Bugatti that’s come after. 

You should try learning how to read before browsing a news site. 

Ahem

Yeah plus you generally have a cool sea breeze coming off the pacific, IIRC from the week or so I was in the LA and SF area.

I think it depends on where you live.  LA is just to big to cycle around, generally. Heck I live in Texas, and while I could technically ride to work, if I eliminate my breakfast stop my commute is like 4-5 miles, but it’s not realistic 8+ months of the year if I don’t want to smell like sweaty balls and ass ALL day.…

“LA without cars would be possible in theory but it would be utter chaos.”

Not even getting screwed at all as far as I see it. This wasn’t happening bc of one single parking ticket, but multiple tickets that were being ignored. Actions have consequences.

“See, when the vehicles get towed, the city screws owners twice: Not only are they responsible for paying the total amount of parking fees they owe, they also have to pay for daily storage fees.”
