Oh I went and looked at the car
odometer says 127K
Car Fax says the last reported at 143K

so someone either rolled back an odometer or the inspection shop that submitted the 147K to carfax had fatflingers

Car dealership said that it was 127 to the best of their knowledge

CF says that the car was inspected 11/13/07 with 114,071 miles
The inspection report in the glove box jived exactly with that

The next CF date 1/28/08-says registration issued\renewed but no mileage given
then an inspection 10/15/2008 with 142,861
(this is just a pure guess here-I'm thinking likely that it should have been maybe 122,861. based on earlier CF reported dates\mileage; 11/27/00(20),11/27/01(18,904),12/9/04(71,261),11/29/05(86,130),11/30/06(99,390),
11/13/07(114,071),10/15/08(142,861) 16.2 avg\yr till the big jump of 28.7 at the end
Pretty big jump for the single owner)

I was thinking the same thing. Fortunately I have much better options at the airport here in NRT (NW lounge is pretty nice; the shower was like a fire hose the pressure was so strong) and plenty of time in IAH tomorrow to get a real meal. I might even finally do Pappadeux; I've not ever tried it.
My thoughts are with you as well. I hope your travels were OK thus far.
Does it ask you the question about whether your name matches the passport? And do you say "no?" I think that might be triggering it in some cases.

Pouring rain here in Tokyo all day today. Like buckets being dumped from the sky. I decided the safest course of action was to go eat more sushi at Tsukiji (I had two breakfasts :D) and then spend an hour around the temple near my hotel before heading out to the airport. By the time I got on the train my pants, jacket and shoes were all completely soaked. I could change out of the pants and take off the jacket, but the shoes are the only pair I brought, and they're still wet. :(

Oh, and the DL 744 just landed here at NRT. It actually looks pretty good.

I just came out of my minibar. :D

First rule of transiting IAH on CO — avoid most of the food in Terminal C and hike it to Terminal E. That's part of why my dinner last night consisted of five bags of pretzels and two gin and tonics on the IAH-ATL flight, followed by ice cream at home. I refuse to eat in most of the Terminal C restaurants. And the gin and tonics were great to lower my blood pressure after a stressful week and yet another run in with the TSA goons at BTR who don't know their own rules and somehow were convinced a travel-sized WiFi router I travel with every week was a threat to national security. :rolleyes:

And glad I got to say hi to you guys, even if it was just for a few minutes.

Seth, do you eat shellfish? I know its not kosher but the crawfish etouffee is amazing. Pappadeux has a lunch buffet from 11-2 on weekdays for $10.99 or something too.

There are no good choices in IAH C. Eating there always involves a gamble of the lesser of multiple evils. At least the nasty burrito place next to Papa John's is gone. I ate there once, and that was one time too many.

+1. Excellent advice. ^

Yeah, Terminal C food is Hep-A and Salmonella poisoning waiting to happen.

Still doesn't beat one of the ladies at that coffee shop in Terminal B that told me the milk was fine even though it smelled like baby puke. :rolleyes:

I'm no sbm12, but I did figure that I will spend about 54 hours behind airport security this weekend... :cool:

Did you bring us anything fr:rolleyes:om inside?!

What a day. Driving on Kirby is always a pain. I don't miss it at all.

Doesn't surprise me at all.

The HAS really needs to fire its vendor for all the terminals it manages, and hire CO's vendor that manages Terminal E. The other terminals have seen some slight improvement in the food, and there are some halfway decent options in A and B, but for the most part, everything they control is a disaster.

It's empty. I have to wait until it will be refilled. ;)

There's a bus?

We were "rescued" from the Termalink by a guy that ran out of the maintenance shed between B and C. They kept it running and just used the "other" side. Was the train still stuck when you came through?

I know I'm way behind on my Boxing, but just wanted to send my regards to sfogate and my wishes for a safe journey and I hope everything turns out okay.

Yes, rolov, I procured Shipleys and even brought a half dozen back for the Canuck. Even got my 20% off. :cool:

sfogate, our thoughts and prayers go out to you. Safe travels.
