Silvercar $59 Rentals Extended Through February

Silvercar is the innovative company that actually makes renting cars fun.

As I've explained in the past, they have only one kind of car, an Audi A4, and it comes with a bunch of cool features. This includes free GPS, wifi, satellite radio, fair toll tracking, and a fair fuel plan.

I had my first Silvercar experience at LAX earlier in the year, and was really impressed.

Amazing Crosswind Landing Footage At Birmingham Airport

I don't know what it is about Birmingham Airport, but some amazing crosswind landing footage seems to come out of there.

On Monday some more amazing footage was released of turboprops trying to land. I consider this footage to be more "beautiful" than "terrifying," since the straight on angle makes everything look more dramatic than it is.

Check it out:
