Don;t get me wrong. I love flying. I just always seem to get screwed on international flights with who I sit near.

They need a supply of clean hosiery so they can stuff a sock in it when someone sets off a rug rat.

GUnit - Thats a gorgeous plane! I have been in an emirates a380...I had exit row seats 😀

Bossy - Top floor? Thats only business and first.

Tiny - Hahaha. Gunit talks about how he's excited and you come alone with "I hate international flights" Lmao. I like them. I did the 16 hour flight from dubai to LAX MANY MANY times and I LOVED IT Even if I was in economy

Depends on the airline and how they configure it when they buy the aircraft. It is usually Economy/economy+ bottom with some economy up top, and business and 1st

I think that depends on the airline. I know BA has upper deck economy because I booked my seat on the upper deck for both legs of the trip.

GUnit - Oh, wow, I didnt know that!

PS - I LOVE YOUR AVATAR! That was such a weird movie...but that guitar dude is my favourite lol!

You should see the guy who plays "Thunderstruck" with the flaming bagpipes. It's on YouTube; definitely worth the watch.

Yeah I loved that movie, one of my favorites so far this year.

There's a website called Seatguru - they let you view seating configurations for just about every commercial airline and airplane available.

That is from Mad Max, right? Didn't get to watch that...

 

[Bossyfins]

So my dad questions the reliability of Hardwareswap... Anyone wanna explain how the safety thing works so I don't get scammed

Yeah it's from the new one Fury Road. If you didn't get to watch it yet, check it out on BD/streaming. Awesome flick.

Hard to say. The thing I would question is if Reddit has some kind of fraud prevention department like eBay does. I don't think it does which would make it much more sketchier than eBay.

Good bad or horrible

Bossy - I know you are asking tiny, but I think, I dont know how it is, but I know the price is awesome.

Are you looking to buy a car for you or? And how much do you have saved up, oh, AND do you have your permit? I never touched on those things.

I drove today btw, tiny. My mom made me drive around the neighbourhood, then onto the real streets to an intersection (where I went straight) and parked in a lot in a park, then I left the lot and drove back home. Im getting better and my confidence is up.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I'm pretty sure that is the rebadged Ford Ranger...

 

[Bossyfins]

Meh, it is for my dad. So yea lol.

Anyways, where are you taking the ground corse?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah, I'm 99% sure that is the rebadged Ford Ranger. ChrisFix has one of those...

 

[Mirakledba]

I havent taken any courses yet. I will in the river side flight academy.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Hey, I'm like 15 minutes away from Riverside.

 

[Bossyfins]

Is it good? I have gone to 1 ground school just to check it out, wasn't very interactive :I

 

[Mirakledba]

Dunno how it is...will have to see.

 

[Onus]

Ford shared the Ranger platform with Mazda. If I needed a used light-duty truck, it would be on my short list; I liked my '88 Ranger quite well. It was a 2.8L XLT 4x4 Supercab with skid plates. I've read they had tranny problems, but mine was fine. I don't drive like a maniac.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

YES! I actually got something right 😛

Good deal. That is the rebadged Ranger. It will need a few things as the V6 was not the most reliable. It needs $1000 in timing belt/water pump and this is why the price is the way it is. If you buy it, and do that stuff, it would be a great little truck.

The tranny on this model should be the "refreshed" one and ought to be fine.

This is NOT a 4x4. It is only RWD and therefore will not have the transfer case issues the 4x4's have.

Awesome! Confidence is a good thing. If I was local and still had the G35 I would let you slide it around an empty parking lot to learn some car control and get comfortable "losing" control.

 

[Bossyfins]

Thanks Tiny. My dad appreciates it.

Anyways, legit or no?
