“...headed to school on the 15 Freeway northbound connector to the westbound 91 Freeway in Corona, California, when his Honda started fishtailing...”

I had a 94 hatch. I drooled over the Si (125hp version). Apparently there’s a mod where you could bolt the Si’s head to the DX (1.5L D15? I forget). I think it was called the “mini me”.

“That’s right, it’s a long metal rod. And what’s immediately in front of that on the radiator support? Yep, the built-in hood stay.”

Pretty disinterested in a lot of car tech these days — some of it seems like overkill. Then again, apparently we have to share the road with these people.

Check in the 18 yr old? Simple. Online, print the ticket.

Says the guy who flew 200 segments and 200,000 miles a year and gets airline treatment the common man will never get.

Agreed and this is another spot where Delta screwed up. At one point in the video there’s a Delta employee who says that a 2 yr old+ has to lap-ride. It’s not true and at best a misinterpretation of FAA rules.

Per the father, they were cleared at the ticket gate by Delta to do this (don’t know if it’s in this column here, but in another article that’s what the father says). Seems to add up since he alludes to that in the video exchange.

That’s what I’m thinking as well. Otherwise Delta would’ve already given up the seat to standby passengers. More than likely, Delta did an infant head count and saw one more infant than what was shown on flight bookings. If the kid had been a few years older, I doubt Delta would’ve even realized it was a different…

You’re assuming the family didn’t check-in the 18year old onto the original flight. I’m betting they checked him so that the seat wasn’t surrendered to someone else. If it hadn’t been an infant, Delta would probably not have even realized there was a change (from one family member to another in the same family). But…

To your remarks:

Bologna,and at its current state it would be artificially high if anything due to voluntary OPEC member quotas that members are playing by right now. Fracking production ramps up anytime oil goes over $50/barrel and significantly after $60/barrel+ — for prices to hit $4/gal we’d have to see a major/history-changing…

Not sure how modern pumps function, but I know pumps of yesteryear had a counterweight mechanism where, when activated, the travel of the counterweight would pull the valve shut / stop gas flow (and effectively ‘close off’ gas access). In my insurance days I had to investigate an incident where an epileptic driver…

Well, let’s see. He was talking about average prices this year. Average today is somewhere around $2.40. Short of WWIII, we’re not gonna see those $4/gal average this year. Click bait.

You lost me at $4/gallon.

Wow, such empathy.

My brother’s friend in high school had a Spectrum, a black one. They called it the Rectum as well.

Modern crash test requirements = reduced window area.

I don’t think it’s so bad, especially for 2001. But I’ve updated it so that it can be a 2017 production model now:
