There's no Delta "policy" that I know of.
I know the Air Force changed its policy regarding frequent flier miles several years ago - they used to say you couldn't count it toward your own account, but it became value lost since the AF didn't use it, so they made it official policy that you could use frequent flier miles. Just checking on the hotels since points add up to free stays.

I'm a marriott gold guy. Dal doesn't care, but the hotels do. You won't get credit for what delta pays, but every now and then, if, during a dal stay, you buy something at the hotel and put it on your marriott card, you will get a stay credited. Just a glitch in their system...it doesn't happen every time.

Thanks Scambo. As an Air Force guy, I ask "can I do this?", vs. Navy "it doesn't say we can't do this!" I should have the Marine attitude.

It would take old school money to afford ... but jeesh ... that's nice.
This is driving, and much more affordable.

Nice, back before electronic traction control made everyone a "good" driver.

Oh, I know, a novice driver in something like a new GTR would smoke those cars.

Dunno ... could be that plans in Seattle were sidetracked by someone turning on the coffee maker at the DOJ.

I'd guess 60 PSI in the back tires to perform that silliness, although it does take reflexes to pull it off in that car. We had a RUF conversion 930 in the shop back in the 1980's that belonged to a Belgian who told me to drive it and keep it from getting rusty. Mostly, that car just scared me. Driven in anger, that thing was beyond my skill set. IMHO the shift linkage and the spring rates needed to be tweaked to make it a little more "friendly."

Of course, every time we drove it we twisted the waste gate down. It would compress the engine mounts and subframe would bottom out against the unibody. At 3,300 RPM the boost would come on so strong that you could actually hear the mechanism in the factory gauge go "click" as it struck the side of the housing at it's limit.
