You will end up spending twice the price of entry in repairs.

If you buy a BMW that needs a clutch, YOU are smoking crack. The seller, obviously, is the guy who stepped all over the product.

Former 128i owner here, let’s see the cons here:

Here’s the math: For $3000, tentative Nice Price if it passes inspection and has all the service records.

It’s not the specific cases they’re having trouble explaining, but the variety of ignition sources. Basically there’s no discernible pattern to the various causes. Which isn’t really a true mystery so much as “there’s a shit-ton of them and they’ve endured 30+ years of hard use with less-than-zealous maintenance”. All…

It’s a schooner:

The USPS was planning to buy new trucks about a decade ago with the surplus money they had. Then lobbyists heard about the surplus, and ran to congress and had them pass a law that forced USPS to fund pensions of people not even born yet. Thus forcing USPS into the red. They can’t even do cost cutting measures cause…

Huh?  What?  Plenty of cars live on past their expected life without suddenly self immolating.  What does age have to do with things if properly maintained?  I’m confused.  So confused.

Still in production, but it’s tiny, not much of a strategic airlifter the way the AN124, C5, and 747 are.

The A400M is much smaller than a C5 or 747, it sits between the Hercules and the Globemaster in size. The only companies building very large freighters are Boeing and Antonov, and the Antonov is the only one with a shoulder wing.

It was rumored that Boeing saw the A380 coming, and cobbled together the 747-8 with engines and environments from the 787 Dreamliner to compete. So when Airbus started having second thoughts about the viability of the A380, they couldn’t back down and cede the entire market to Boeing. When I look back at this, I think…

It was always a dream of mine to fly on a 747, and see the upstairs. I never stepped foot on one in my life despite having many flights.

I found this documentary on the Cool District.

So much projection.  Never forget that he dogged Obama for taking too many vacations.  Over two terms, Obama took 328 days and Trump is on track to exceed that before the end of this (hopefully only) term.

The US would be better off if he spent the entire 4 years golfing.

You’re saying he *shouldn’t* be reached, but his point that he *couldn’t* be reached is total horseshit.

Counterpoint: In the case of an actual emergency, this president is the last person you’d want to inform until it was absolutely necessary.

Chelsea Clinton pointed out on Twitter that when her father was in office and she needed to reach him, she would call the White House operator and they would put her through to him, wherever he was. The notion that the PRESIDENT OF THE GODDAMN UNITED STATES would be unreachable is bonkers. What if there’s a bombing or…

To Kimmel, his straightness, and his history of speaking as a gleeful misogynist, actually makes him more of an authority on something like gay rights because he’s speaking from a place of straight “objectivity” instead of the real, lived experience of a gay person.
