Nothing is as effective as homeopathy.

I'd rather listen to an hour of Abba than an hour of The Beatles.

Shortstop

HUD shows airspeed 30 knots, ground speed zero, must be a windy day.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Yeah, passenger comfort is an afterthought.

It's like all the car/truck commercials. They show a snazzy car, glitzy with lots of horsepower and several settings for "performance" as they drive on roads where there is no other car to be seen.

For me, it should be a bit different.

A soft, soothing voice, while showing a $60,000 car stuck in traffic, and the hypothetical you, inside.

"Stuck in traffic, again? Stuck in traffic, daily? Well then, you will appreciate the comfort of our soft, wide cushy seats, the near silence of the passenger cabin as you idle for hours, the sound system providing your favorite music (extra charge, but that's OK), an air conditioner that actually keeps working even though you are at idle, cup/drink holders, and a digital display that always reads 'traffic sux' conveniently located."
