In a just society, everyone would wait their turn, and each row would clear in order. But in a just society, everyone would also make a genuine effort to expedite deplaning, either through moving quickly, or acknowledging when you should just wait for everyone else to get off first. I wait my turn, but I don’t much

The people who bitch about other people standing up when the flight lands.  I’ve been sitting for potentially hours.  My knees hurt.  I just want to stretch.  I know I’m not going anywhere.

Disabling screen functions when the car is in motion is stupid. Whoever’s riding shotgun should be able to operate the screen, but the software doesn’t allow it.

I will pay good money to get rid of the auto-stop system (ASS) on my car. It’s like the people who programmed it have never driven a car before. Stop for 1 second and climate control shuts off. Stop in the middle of a turn and risk getting your hands torn off when the power assist comes back to the steering. It’s such

I think you’ve stumbled upon a website that isn’t for you.

I like the color, but it looks like a blind person making a copy of the triumph speed 1200

The UPS garage near my place in Maine has a roof plow gizmo they run all the trucks through on the way out of the parking lot. These should be mandatory. 

There is probably some innovation program at play and you don’t get awards for existing solutions.

At least those answers make sense, unlike watching House Hunters.

Here’s today’s puzzler: Wealthy Americans are more than willing to spend upwards of $150k on a fast, practical wagon. Why can’t anybody get them to spend $30k on a kinda fast, practical wagon? Is the venn diagram of “people who can afford and buy ultra luxury cars” and “people who like wagons” just a perfect

Some collectors pay a fortune for misprinted stamps or mis-struck coins - the idea is that they’re rarer, and maybe they also have more of a story.

I think the main thing is that they need to do something to give people a reason to trade in their current Land Cruiser, because it’s rare that there’s anything actually wrong with a Land Cruiser.

In the end, though, December is over and the first thing I did in the New Year was take my 912E for a very loud and very gasoline-powered drive.

Targas.... the world needs more targas. Even 4 door crossovers should have a targa option. Targa everything. This should not be a concept... it should absolutely be produced by the factory... this ups the appeal of the Supra immensely.... it lends cohession to it’s design not having continuity.... breakjng up the roof

Agreed. Tom’s plan makes more sense, just have someone buy/register/insure it themselves and everyone else gets to rent it for some small fee when they need it.

I work for a manufacturer who has remained open through all of this. Most of the people who could work for home were allowed to, some haven’t returned back to the office at all. I’m not a Tesla stan, I wouldn’t want any of their vehicles, but when places like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks are deemed essential, why would

Too soon

...and the dealer had a different excuse before covid to not give pricing.  Same policy, new excuse for something not justifiable.

Here is my response to those who bag on Amazon. So what was the alternative before Amazon? WalMart. And what was WalMart all about? They were perhaps one of the most responsible companies who pushed manufacturing out of the US to China. Whereas when Sam Walton was alive the emphasis was on selling US-made products (
