LoL, 20 MPH:

I have strong opinions about the high-status of bulkhead seats. They are not ideal for taller travelers. You get more “knee room” but “leg room” - or more specifically “foot room” - is worse than even a shmuck economy seat. There is a hard stop past which you cannot place your feet. Which for someone like me who likes…

“It’s extremely reckless, especially with people who haven’t been trained to drive at those speeds,”

Even I think you’re way off base here. A 300? He’s not selling fentanyl in downtown Philly, he’s commuting.

As awesome as supersonic planes are, Boeing made the right choice.

Came to the comments to say this. You’d think Jalopnik would be familiar with both flavors of NASA

Boeing didn’t have the advantage of governmental funding like Concorde or the Tu-144. They invested in the 747 instead and that worked out fairly well for them.

Neh, the future of commercial travel is rockets. Big Fucking Rockets.

Co-sign. The man’s dead and was barely involved with the 2013-14 GT500; we can stop naming cars after him now. Go back to using Cobra like from 1993-2004.

I’m gonna be a lot more excited when Ford stops branding SVT cars with “Shelby”.
I am curious about the motor, though. The last two years of the previous GT500 had that supercharged 5.8L that was unique to it. The current GT350 has the Voodoo 5.2L that’s so far unqiue to it. Is this GT500 going to get a unique engine,…

I feel your pain. I needed 8 garage spaces but wanted to live in a normal suburban home. First I looked for homes with extra land to build a detached garage but that didn’t work out (not enough space, covenants, or access issues). I found a large almost-finished spec home in a suburban development. When I went to the…

But then you couldn’t get the 351. To me, the 351+auto trumps the 302+manual as that extra power/torque is worth it. Of course you could swap a trans or swap a motor and create something better but then it’s a project :D

Relativity pretty much guarantees that any alien civilization that set off to find us as a result of SETI or other radio signals has also mastered time travel, as it means they traveled faster than light to get here. That presents all sorts of unresolved issues with causality.

<Also many planes don’t have climate controlled or pressurized cargo holds.>

The results challenging flight personnel ranges being bloodied and dragged off to a head shot from an air Marshall.

Having transported 2 cats in the cargo hold of a Lufthansa 747 from Frankfurt to San Francisco, I can tell you that A) the animals were completely traumatized and B) I’m amazed that they survived. If I knew then what I know now I would never have allowed it. Too many animals have died being transported in this fashion.

The cargo hold isn’t a whole lot better. Also many planes don’t have climate controlled or pressurized cargo holds. And a pet in a cargo hold flying at this time of year is very risky due to low temperatures.

A few things:
Fuck United’s flight attendant. What an asshole
This is the prime reason I’ll never, ever subject my dog to air travel. I don’t care how big or small, I’m not putting him through something that even I find profoundly unpleasant most of the time.
Could it have had something to do (also) with the breed of…

Bcause they didn’t. There may have been a contract with a charter bus company, but they didn’t run routes. And prior to that contract Arlington was the largest city in the country without public transport of any sort.

It may be between Ft. Worth and Dallas, but you can’t tell where one city ends and another begins unless you look at the street signs.
