LOL, shortly after I made that post I realized what you actually meant. I tried going back and editing it but was too late.

I wouldn’t go a dime over $900. I saw the headline and figured it was a typo. 

I just don’t believe the mileage. Hell, this car looks like a liar, driven by someone who lies for a living. If there was ever a car that looked like a “successful” door-to-door Kirby vacuum salesman...

This is the car that Lee Iacocca is driving in Valhalla right now.

I’m with you. I had a Daytona... 2 actually. First one blew the motor because of a poorly designed cooling system (thermostat failed closed). Rebuilt the motor, then after about a month the front control arm or something bit it, sending me into a curb which bent the frame. So, I got an 86 to put the motor into.

Nine thousand?! WTF!

I bought this exact car (in red) used in 1989. It was the single biggest POS i have ever owned and it was so bad that i have flatly refused to own another car from the Big 3 ever since.

Apparently “crack pipe” is racist against black people.

That’s $2.5k more generous/gullible than I’m willing to be

What is it with people with 80s-era economy cars thinking they are somehow worth serious money 30 years later, just because they sidestepped the crusher?

Calm down.

According to AvHerald, the segment was flown by N772UA. Confirmed by Flightradar24; here’s the flight track.

Engine failures happen. Aircraft that were parked for most of the lockdown were regularly serviced, their engines run at specified intervals, and were inspected prior to return to service.  It is highly unlikely that this failure had anything to do with the lockdown. 

I only got a bunch of FF miles when that happened to me on NWA back in the day. Got to go down the slides and everything. Same on American when my ERJ blew a door seal at altitude and we got to put on the masks for half an hour and go back to Philly.

Mea culpa - I should have thought this comment though before making it. You are of course correct that the plane will be able to continue takeoff with only one operative engine. I’m going to blame the fact that it’s 1am here and my brain has given up thinking for the day! I was thinking “the plane uses maximum power…

Not necessarily. Compressor stalls are not uncommon, and a 777 produces enough thrust to where it ideally should have been able to rotate and climb (albeit at a slower rate) on one engine. I do agree, though, that having it happen at altitude was a much better scenario than earlier during this critical phase of flight…

Once there’s no longer enough room during the takeoff roll to stop on the runway, planes have to be able to take off and clear surrounding terrain with one engine not functioning. So no, not almost certain.

My brother was on a flight to chicago that crashed on landing. Gear malfunction. He was given a 75 dollar voucher for the inconvenience.

Yes and no. JD is the largest, but there are other brands of tractors out there. Trouble is, when everyone in the industry is doing the same damn thing, that doesn’t help much.
