I figured it is likely fine for almost anything. But since I was passing through, had older cars (more carbon build up?) and had a load on them (was moving and had a lot of stuff packed in both), I figured a couple bucks extra on the fill ups in the Moutain West was worth it.

No idea, but to be fair, a lot of Turbocharged cars call for 91 anyway.

I’ve seen the pictures of this bridge. You aren’t making it across without an AMC product, an English Accent, and a slide whistle

I used when driving through the Mountain West.

Geeze, people are so picking today.

This was California.  This was put into law after the famous Donner vs Donner lawsuits.

So you are saying that planes are spraying chemicals in the air over Central PA that make people Stupid and Gullible? I don’t believe you. I NEED PROOF.

GM TBI engines. Around 75k miles, they would go into this weird idle thing (happened on 3 TBIs) At engine start up, hot or cold day, the car would rev to 3000 rpm and slowly start stepping down. If you put it in gear and drove off before it was down to 800 rpm, the next time you stopped or put the clutch in, it would…

2nd gear: I drove GMs exclusively for years... then I stopped in the early 90s.

Yes. Which is why I’m a fan of not going after trends too much.

Yep, It doens’t even have to be complex.

Not in the industry. I know how I would have designed it and if the plug came loose it would have fallen IN when the plane was at the gate, not popped out at altitude, but that’s based on my experience in a totally different world at totally different conditions.

I know a guy that worked at Boeing before I worked with him. Boeing has several powerful unions. I think Boeing is right on the cusp of a strike if they aren’t careful and throwing workers under the bus isn’t going to help.

They are royally screwed, but not by the bean counters.

Years ago, I worked for a German company. Major German companies aren’t run from C-suites, but by “central controlling boards”. These Central boards have equal representation from three groups. The Money guys, the Managers and the Workers. (This is why VW is the only car manufacturer in the South SUPPORTING…

Yeap, in this case they are protected from liability because they weren’t making engineering decisions legally.  Inspectors and engineers that signed and stamped documents saying the planes were safe are facing legal problems and the excuse of “well, if I didn’t sign off I would be fired.” is not a legal defense (nor…

I think that was the German government’s doing.  Different laws there.

I’m guessing you are new to capitalism.

Can he use it as a Bond to cover the results of a couple lawsuits that he needs to appeal?

I mean I do like the fob being their logo and....
