I think he put the phone down because he was considering jumping out!

Remember that Alaska deadheading pilot who got all whacked out on hallucinogenic mushrooms and tried to pull the fire handles in an ERJ-175 a while back? https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/flight-tracking-news/major-incident/alaska-pilot-horizon/ If he’d been successful, it might have resulted...

@OVERKILL I agree with you that mandated rehabilitation and confinement to asylums, and not enabling, is our best course of action (if we can get politicians on board) to deal with this current scourge of ne’er-do-wells. I think as a society we’ve lost the knowledge that our great-grandfathers...

We drove from Nashville area to Warsaw, IN. So it would have been either IN or KY.

Yeah, last month we took a road trip and stopped at a Pilot to use the restroom, and even though we normally use Shell gas, we decided to go ahead and refuel there for convenience. I noticed the E15 decal on the pump. This was the first time I've seen this with no other fuel option, and I...

You find it worth paying that much more? In my area, it's at least 90 cents per gallon more expensive, and at some places, even a full dollar per gallon extra!

Honestly a hot shower or bath will provide 95% of the benefit of a hot tub, WRT aches and pains, without the expense or maintenance. I've been a distance runner for over 20 years, and I've found it downright amazing how just a hot shower can rejuvenate after a long run. Some particular...

It’s a bit older than your range, and not 4 doors, but this is nice, if they came off that price a bit: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2003-ford-focus-21/

We have a 2024 Odyssey and a 2024 Elantra N. I can tell you that the Hyundai LKA is definitely superior. Hyundai’s LKA has a longer time interval between when it prompts you to “steer”. And, it’s capable of applying more steering torque/angle. It will steer around turns that are sharper than...

thanks for the reminder to check and make sure the cooling fins on my cylinders are clear.

I’m curious about something. I remember reading or seeing on a documentary about the manufacture of early jet engines that BMW was in on that game pretty early. But that association with Rolls Royce that produced engines from some of the Gulfstream business jets (and now, the B-52, right?)...

Hard to believe. Not about the seat mechanism malfunctioning. That’s believable. But not being able to regain control? All he’d have to do is push it back up. I mean, in a situation that’s life or death, you’re telling me a professional pilot doesn’t have the presence of mind to realize...

I actually emailed them and the recommendation was the Red Line MT-LV, their newer low viscosity formulation, which is closer to the OEM Hyundai 70W fluid. I went against their recommendation because I thought it wouldn’t make enough of a difference from the factory fluid, especially in this...

Just remarkable the skills y’all have to do this kind of thing!

Yeah, his (Auburn Calloway) goal was actually to fly it into the FedEx hub (MEM) and destroy it. He found out they were about to fire him, and wanted to make it seem like an accident, while allowing his wife and kids to collect on a fat life insurance policy. Just, a real nutcase. If...

I’m not a boat guy (would like to be maybe someday, lol), but your post got me curious - You go 40 miles offshore on a Waverunner?

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up ordering the Red Line MTL (75W80), largely due to the experience of a guy who posted on a couple of Elantra N groups I follow. He said that the shifting improved immediately and dramatically on his Elantra N when he switched to this fluid. Hyundai calls...

It seems that HPL has many different MTFs. Would you have a more specific recommendation?

@High Performance Lubricants Would you have a recommendation?
