    Last time I had my Dodge car in for service, the dealership gave me a Charger for the day. That's a real muscle car, and it wants to run. I felt like it idled at about 5-10 miles an hour faster than my car and it was easily speeding up without me noticing. It's a winner.

    Generally, first class on US domestic flights is pretty embarrassingly poor. The only exceptions would be Delta One if you’re doing a Transcon from California to the East Coast and you pick the right plane or JetBlue Mint if you’re also flying a Transcon. But most of what they call first class in the US is not first class. It is really economy plus/premium economy with a meal- on some flights. On some of the shorter US first class flights there is no meal.

      @@jw3411 not yet. How would you rate it as compared to Delta One and United Polaris or Jet Blue Mint, which are good for Transcon? The other domestic, first class flights, which are not like that, are sort of laughable if you ask me. Calling in first class is an insult to first class.

      @@jw3411I have not no but until either of those offer something like “the room” on ANA or “Q-suite” on Qatar those will be hard to beat. Plus those airlines have weight and appearance standards so their cabin crews look amazing in addition to their excellent service and food

    The food you had for lunch looked like it was chicken topped with a mole sauce (pronounced mo-lay). It’s a sauce that’s made of dried chiles, nuts and seeds, and chocolate. It’s an amaaaazing sauce to use on chicken and enchiladas. My two favorites, at least.

    Mexican Coke is sold up north in the US, but really I've heard most people prefer the version they grew up drinking the most, if they did a blind taste test. So that's Coke with corn syrup in the US and cane sugar in Mexico.
