“...showing her filings and stuff.”

The outcome isn’t at all unanticipated; ninety minutes of low-speed cat and mouse games followed by a massive pileup as everyone drills it for the front in the last lap.

Competitor benchmarking is pretty intensive. Even before they strip a car down to see how it was built, they wire it up to log every performance metric from the real 0-60 time to how quickly the air conditioning cools down the cabin. There simply isn’t enough time in a service appointment to do any of this to a degree…

I’m more worried about how many biohazard bags they’re dragging around.

Get that many people in one place, and the odds that at least one of them has norovirus goes pretty much to 100%

The mentality is that there are a lot of d-bags out there who want to feel validated.

I feel like I’ve been hearing six more months for supply chains to settle down for the last year and a half.

“the same boardroom that decided to end a championship-winning racing program also views its team’s motorcycles as taxable assets.”

The world needs more two-tone pickups. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t work on any current models. They don’t have the natural break lines of the old square bodies.

But pumping fuel is a two-step process. If you grab the nozzle for the wrong fuel type, but push the button for the correct type/grade, nothing happens.

Welcome to Jalopnik.

I can’t see how anyone with legs would be able to sit in those back seats. I hate to say it, but while they were defiling this thing they should have also converted it to FWD to get some room to move the floor back there down a little.

Particularly when the competition is the Global 8000, which can get almost halfway around the world nonstop at just under Mach 1, fly out of any airport, and be built out like a hotel suite.

For the richest of the rich, going to space is a bigger flex right now than flying a fast jet. For the slightly less rich, Spike is going to have to prove that their plane can really take off on a 6,000 runway before they’ll have any takers.

Toss-up between that and the ML63 AMG.

More importantly, the idea failed in a much more favorable marketplace. In the regulated days of the 70s, inflation-adjusted baseline fares were much, much higher than they are today. And the planes weren’t as good.

The issue is that one of the driving factors in selling a business/private jet is where you can fly it out of. A scaled-up F15 is either going to require too much runway or make too much noise to take off from most smaller airports. To the point where Bombardier made a pretty big deal out of the Global 7500 being able…

The weirdest thing I’ve seen at a dealer? Myself. When I worked for a big three dealership back in the 90s I stood out as possibly the only employee without a criminal record.

“Hole-in-one on #10 gets you the keys to this F-150. Thanks to Jay Hodge Ford of Morrilton!”

Even then, it’s usually a lease.
