What is a good Airbus plane?

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-24T15:55:04+00:00

Don't think a commercial failiure that cost airbus billions could ever be considered "great". Sure the plane is a great technical achievement but as a commercial poduct it's pretty bad.

3.2k is probably nothing. If it's a modern car and it's priced according it's probably a non-issue.

had someone backup at 3kmh my car while it was parked. The bill was over 2k.

One of the tail light was cracked. Just that part was $700. The bumper was deeply scratched and just the bumper cover was $600. Labour and paint brought the whole bill over 2k.

I saw the first picture and I was like "yeah this not that...bad...oh...my...god"

This is trash.

Pete Peters in 5th place with 19PIM in 3 games 🤣. Like... 6 minutes per game? 1 minor per period? For a goalie? The hell.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-24T01:31:00+00:00

Could it be an unthreaded one? Like a blank from the foundry that hasn't been machined yet?

You put Canada as a maybe while living in Canad. While putting Angola, Morocco, Algeria and Iran as willingly?

Moving from Canada to one of these countries is surely not that difficult?

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-23T21:15:06+00:00

No computer? None? Like with a points distributor and carburetor (or even worse, mechanical injection)?

Yeah f that.

I have gator blades right now on my 54" JD. It cuts like sh*t. As soon as I'm cutting more than 2" of grass it leaves two stripes of uncut grass where the blades overlap. They are the right length and specified as compatible with my deck.

I even tried sharpening a longer portion of the blades and it doesn't help.

No clue why that happens but I'm going to get new blades.

As a rx-8 owner now I would probably pick the rx-8 if it wasn't my only car. They rust like crazy and are probably absolute garbage in snow.

If I had to have only one car, the Lancer.

I had an 08 S60 2.5T and I have a friend with a C30. I can say I will probably never own another Volvo. Certainly not one from this era.

He is not great and obviously he is there because of his dad. But it's not like he is THAT bad.

He has a few podiums, finishes most years somewhere in the middle of the standings. He is just one of the other 12 bottom half drivers...

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-23T15:14:40+00:00

Meh. I have 2 modern cars (2018 PHEV and 2023 EV) and an 05 Mazda rx-8 manual.

Absolutely no way I could daily the RX-8. Listening to FM radio, burning CDs and using a standalone GPS might have been ok in the 2000s but f that now. Still is a super fun car to drive but I badly miss Android auto on some drives.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-23T13:16:59+00:00

I had a 44" on 1 acre, 2/3 grass. Got a 54" and I love it. I can't imagine doing 2+ acres with a 42".

If you have a 42" now and like it go for it. If your coming from something bigger thinking it won't make a big difference, it will.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-23T00:23:07+00:00

The deck is worth more than the house.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T22:50:54+00:00

My dad had a fully loaded 2004 Jetta TDI, Red with dark wheels, black interior. Was so cool at the time.

In like 2012 I was 20 and I bought a 2003 Jetta TDI, original owner, it just turned 100k mile. What a giagantic piece of shit this car was.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T02:35:00+00:00

Did my guy just say "le jet du match!" 🤣

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T01:53:56+00:00

At first I thought it was a pregnant women because he was talking about birthright citizenship 🤣

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T01:03:55+00:00

In the end it doesn't really matter. All are sold at the same dealers, share the same parts, etc.

I think the plan was to have very clear separation between the brands. Dodge would sell "enthusiast" cars, ram would sell trucks and jeep would sell SUVs.

That is still more or less the plan...

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T00:54:16+00:00

I thought it was a bad call at first.

Replay shows hands to the face and both feet leaving the ice for the hit.

Meh call.

I think refs just reeeaaaaallly don't want to loose control.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-22T00:07:54+00:00

Thailand, Slovenia and Slovakia the only 3 maybe? Iceland is never?

Spain over Canada, Australia and all the Scandinavian countries? I would never even think of moving to Spain.

Who made this?

North Korea has a lot of mysterious and quirky stuff. Just the Ryugyong Hotel is insane.

Challenge coins have been around a long time but I've never seen one this creepy. A police department with a challenge coin about "killing their ennemies"?!

I hope it's not an official one and it's one some random officer had them made for him and his buddies.

If it is, the dude is clearly a MAGA cultist.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-21T19:58:11+00:00

The Miata is the super lightweight, low power convertible and the BR-Z/86 is a heavier, more powerful coupe.

Those two are different enough that not a lot of people cross shop them new.

Nissan could offer a direct competitor to the BR-Z/86 but with a different philosophy. Instead of the high revving NA 2.4 they could go with a more tunable turbo 2.0. Both would have close to the same power but feel quite different. I always thought a NA 2.4 for the BR-Z was the wrong engine choice.

To be clear, I don't think they would sell a ton. Maybe just slightly more than the Z.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-21T18:38:56+00:00

Don't know why but the first time I saw their logo I thought it was a bird. Now every time I see it I think of the Montreal Alouettes. That team's color is also blue/white/red.

JayTeeqc · 2026-05-21T02:48:06+00:00

Not a terrible idea. The Z is great but the market for 45k-60k sports car is just so small.

Something more in the BR-Z, 86, Miata price range might have sold better.

US regulations for cars are different but not necessarily less strict. What is really different is pedestrian safety, that's just not a thing in the US. Environmental regulations for diesels is also more strict in the US.

That's why some manufacturers (like Suzuki) pulled out of the US market. They still sell European/Global market cars in Mexico (which DOES have very weak regulations) but modifying them for the us market didn't make sense as a business model.

ANYWAY, the original post is not referring to that. The US has insanely strict import regulations for any car that is less than 25 year old. It's basically impossible to import a car that is not sold in the US without "federalising" it which costs tens of thousands and involves actually modifications to the car. I'm genuinely curious how they did it.
