TBF it wouldn’t matter where that ludefisk was - it could be in the luggage hold and they’d STILL need to declare an inflight emergency.

I went by my local Mitsubishi dealer to see if they had any cars for sale. I thought they did, but it turns out it was just a Mirage. 

I’m thinking there are plenty of people who would buy a simple low cost car like the Mirage, but they just can’t get over how effin ugly it is.

But what was the item?

Lots of dealers have completely dried up their inventory. The local Toyota dealer near me has eight new vehicles total. Their used inventory is an entire six new vehicles. The lot is bare.

Also, at least where I live, a lot more families are going single car so they get one SUV that can haul everyone. The other parent bikes, takes transit, or works from home, making a second cheap commuter car unnecessary.

Mason jars rust.

I don’t really know how else to explain the broad and persistent demand for expensive trucks and SUVs

Not going to touch 2nd gear, because half the people here think that dear leader can do no wrong and the other half know what the problem is, so why bother?
Neutral: We have a pretty busy travel schedule. I thought having the in-laws move to town would decrease our travel but now we’re just doing it for more leisure…

You just described every car, and every car enthusiast.

You should take a ride in a helicopter when practicing autorotation landings. You can only trade airspeed for lift, so the dive and flare is the proper technique to get you to the ground safely. It is a wild experience.

My very first flight instruction was with a guy that had been my older brother’s friend for as long as I can remember, so, kind of like an older brother in his own right... Any way, while coming in to land in a Cessna 142 he did the same thing and we touched down and stopped in what felt like 20 feet. Scared the crap…

I never thought the day would happen that Boss Hogg’s ‘70 Caddy would be considered tasteful:

It would’ve been better stated that Buttonville’s field elevation is 650 MSL (above sea level), at at 2000' MSL altitude, the aircraft was at 1350 AGL (above ground level).

between the bridge AND the overhead signage... That’s impressive. 

“Buttonville sits at an altitude of 650 feet, so the pilots had about 1,350 feet to work with.”

this statement makes no sense whatsoever.

There’s an old saying, something like “it’s a good landing if you can walk away from it; it’s a great landing if the plane can be used again”.

I have discovered the secret of how Canadians keep their cool regardless of how upset they should be.

Can we talk about the fact they got it down in time to go under the overhead signage?

Whoever did that inspection is going to get a dose of Canadian Rage...
