This is a new experience for me. Might be helpful to others. I had to call Paypal to figure out why they were denying a transaction. Not surprisingly, they are not big on actually talking to you. You get a robot. The robot could not actually help me but all my attempts to convince the robot...

My 4yo had his taste in being a co-pilot in a fix-wing last week. Loved it. Now he really wants to go for a ride on a helicopter. I've never actually flown in a helicopter either. Anyone knows of a place in the area? It can be a tour or a discovery flight. Honestly, I prefer a tour at...

I'm not sure about boxer engines, but I don't think Vs(flat including i think) fire in pairs. here is a V8 visualization

lots of 1, 3, 5 Cyl engines out there(cars, bikes)

I6? aka 1/2 of V12

I think iPhone ForeFlight is a little less user friendly than iPad FF. iPad Mini is just about perfect for me.

If you paid for a year with a CC and not getting a year of service, the easiest thing to do is open dispute with your CC. Not getting the service you paid for is a valid reason.

Counter point. I don't really like having an adrenaline rush in an airplane in the type of flying I do. It happens now and again, but I don't go out searching for it. As far as cars, Sentra(CVT issues notwithstanding) is fine. Pretty much any car these days is fine to take you from A to B...

There is a better and cheaper way. Several CC companies offer virtual CC numbers. You can set up a unique CC number for any online retailer. And shut it down(or suspend it) any time. CapitalOne is an example.

My wife is on and off learning to drive stick shift. Or more accurately learning how to do it in the V. She's actually not bad at stick shift after a few lessons in a normal car, but the V is still difficult for her. Looks like you have the same trim as mine: Black Diamond. I really wanted...

Please tell me it's an Auto so I don't have to hate you. :)

Fun is a relative term. Come back when you have 100K miles. Seems that these CVTs tend to go before that mark.

I agree. It's a great car. Perhaps the best sports sedan ever. But that's a lot of money. Unfortunately, these cars did not translate to any success for Cadillac. Bad timing, too much image loss. They will be the peak of ICE fast Cadies.

BTW, I think CTS VSport(and current CT5V) is great balance between outright performance of V(Blackwing) and more pedestrian versions. Naming confusion notwithstanding. I wish it could be had in MT, I'd take it even with CUE

To be honest, most regular M products from BMW are not even that great anymore. Some aren't even really all that M to begin with. You have to go to Competition or CS to get something special

Newer BMWs really are not that good. As far as I’m concerned, the peak BMWs were e36,e46, e39(had M5 previously ). Today you have to go to M++++ variant to get good feel but then it will not really be a good daily and you might as well get a Porsche. It’ll cost as much anyway

Original Altimas were great cars. I lobbied my parents to get one at the time... They ended up with that jelly-bean dreadful Camry

But. 6MT here :). Yes, Alpha platform is awesome and I would buy current CT4-VBlackbird($$$), but that Gen 3 has no MT(CTSV) and Cue... I'll keep mine for a while.

I can't remember what they changed in CUE2. Functionality was fine(if really slow) in CUE1. I hate the touch "buttons" for everything systems. My G2 CTSV is pre-CUE. It has considerably less functionality. Most notably the lack of BT audio and Carplay. Both can be added in aftermarket. I...

I love almost everything about ATSV(I drive CTSV). But then you have to live with CUE. And that is a really difficult thing for me to agree to do.
