    I sure do miss cheap oil.

    I worked at an auto parts store here in Canada for a while as a kid in the late 90’s and also remember a quart of brand name conventional was 99 cents. Jugs were $4.69.

    Amsterdam to Rome layover of 85 minutes, will I make it to the gate? (Delta)

    It doesn't make sense to change to a later flight. If you miss it, they'll just put you on the next one anyway, so why book the later flight. When I know there are more later flights, I book like this all the time. In 2016 I was flying an A380 on British Airways to London, with a transfer to...

If it just putts around town or even mildly driven hard the 0w20 will be sufficient without a concern. I would only go all the way to Euro grade 30/40 if I...

    Is there a reason why the back rows of flights are always unavailable?

    My first overseas flight (YVR to LGW) was back in 2008. This was kind of before online check-in became popular and all that and my wife and I were one of the last people to check in and weren't able to sit together. I kind of made a little stink about it and they ended up moving us to the very...

    do you think this video is real.

    Genuinely don't understand how someone believes this is fake. There are many, many videos online with the same kind of ejections that aren't as 'family safe', shall we say.
