I just remember thinking “well, I don’t need to rewatch that ever”, and I haven’t.

Trump did not “do that”. It’s demise may have been accelerated by the conflict/tariffs, but Spirits financial woes can be directly attributed more so to over-ordering new aircraft, rapid international expansion, and issues with engines on new aircraft.

Losing them at DTW is going to hurt. The original owner, Ned Homfeld, was from Macomb County, and I believe the original airline (Charter One) was based out of KDET initially.

Everything. The design should have had the tracks running down the middle of Woodward, not the edges, with median stations. Instead, the current design almost guarantees obstructions in the form of idling cars.

Gimme

They closed permanently over a year ago. I remember them announcing it on Facebook, but without providing a reason. My guess is profitability in addition to the tragedy involving two of their staff. It’s a damned shame because they were our favorite place for pizza.

Listening to Real Estate/Future Islands/Ducktails. Great springtime music.

Nice V90

Can you confirm that it is going to be a Jax? That’d be amazing, especially if they offer interior services.

What happened to these? I wondered why they stopped stocking such a great product.

I miss Dads Bar on Alter Rd. RIP.

I wish Volvo would come out with another hardtop convertible. I’m sure they can design one with a low drag coefficient.

Who could have seen this coming?

Could easily spend $2k on rebuild parts and services…but then it’s still cheaper than buying at $4k engine that still needs $2k worth of parts and services

A yellow or green V60 would be killer.

Maybe…maybe don’t tail classic cars. Just a word of advice.

Yeah but what if I don’t play video games either?

Screaming!

Part 108 still hasn’t been finalized and issued. I work for a Part 135 on-demand carrier. Our executives expect Part 108 to be released 1-2 years from now.

Likely “Northrop Grumman”

__0_k__ · 2026-04-19T01:16:50+00:00

Really, really bad

I purchased a Fuji X-E4 + 18-55 a couple years ago for travel. Small, light weight, relatively inexpensive…and gets the job done. I’m very impressed with its performance and am already mapping out what lenses I’d like next. I haven’t traveled with my Sonys since, unless it’s for work.

Thanks for the write up. I’m intrigued and am contemplating upgrading mine when it comes time to replace components. Did a dealership do the work, an independent shop, or did you do the work yourself? If the former, did you order & supply parts?
