My politics are definitely on the left, but I have come to believe that “late stage capitalism” is the mirror image of “woke”. It’s overused, and I doubt most people even understand what they mean when they use that phrase. I half suspect you are tempted to blame an accident that occurred in the Netherlands and…

But.. did they have pants to fly?

I worked at a hotel/casino that was across the street from the Las Vegas bus station, and within easy walking distance of three rescue missions and a flophouse. We had stinky people in there all the time. Some were, like the guy who had rotten chicken bones in his hair most of the time, gag inducing, others were just…

I don’t care your skin color. Take a fucking shower if you start to smell. I wish, if anything, airlines would start taking body odor much more seriously as an issue. I have been on flights with people who really fucking reek to the point of making you gag. If having your BO pointed out is really that traumatic, then…

Properly insulated trunk (or cargo area), which can be cooled separately with the vehicle’s A/C system on demand.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that I’d be using it Biff-like to make a fortune.

I’ll second the Volvo nomination. My XC60 T8 has been completely trouble-free, and even at 6 years old it still looks better than every other crossover/SUV on the market. Plus it’s silly fast when you want to be a little wild.

How about a cloaking device to make me invisible to radar, lidar and all other types of police surveillance?

I want gullwing doors that turn into wings and the ability to take off and land a car in less than a block’s worth of road using jet power from the exhaust. Oh, and they should shoot lasers. Second choice would be the motorcycle/helicopter.

Jeeps and rangerovers all over this list.

Tik-Tokker (not a just user, a content producer): flag one.

Yes, you absolutely are warned about the exit row requirements and limitations at booking. If the seat is assigned at the airport, the agent will also make sure that you acknowledge that. And even once you have the boarding pass and are boarding the airplane, when they scan the pass it is flagged and you have to…

I can’t speak for every airline, but I fly a lot and when I’ve chosen exit row on websites, apps and airport check in kiosks, I’ve always had to click an acknowledgment of my responsibilities and ability to carry them out. They also ask when I scan my boarding pass at the gate. All of that happens before I sit down…

Thank you Hannibal Smith.

I love it when sociopaths get arrested.

1-star airlines have 1-star passengers.

1996 Mustang GT used a plastic lower intake plenum...with coolant lines running thru it. Guess what happened when that plastic heated up and cooled down over several engine cycles?

I had a 2012 Cruze with the same thing.

the center door lock on my BMW. it is infuriating!

This is make/model agnostic, but a true summertime classic. Aluminum inlays on the top of shift knobs. Although a common bugbear in many cars, the one in my C30 gets ridiculously toasty after a few hours in the sun unless I remember to use a sunshade.
