As part of evidence collection for the formal claim I am preparing against @Centauro_es I had a look at the user reviews on @bookingcom and it looks what happened to me was not an isolated incident and plsying tricks with damage claims and insurance is a regular occurrence
I advise anyone against renting a car with Centauro Rent a Car (@Centauro_es) - trying to charge me inexistent damages worth nearly €1k and not even bothering to get in touch - fortunately I have photo & video to prove my case. Shady is an understatement. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

My take: Boeing finally has a CEO that told Wall Street what they needed to hear and not what they wanted to hear. Wall Street wants 737 MAX and 787 production increased yesterday. CEO Kelly Ortberg is taking a slow and conservative approach to rate hikes. I think this is correct move in the long run. Boeing’s failures of the past were caused by taking shortcuts, ramping up already unstable production lines, and worrying about next year’s free cash flow. Boeing stock was down 10.7% today but I view today’s earnings report + call as further evidence that this is a new Boeing. A Boeing that is determined to not make the same mistakes as its past.
Boeing got the kitchen sink today and people don't see that.

easyJet will introduce Starlink Wi-Fi despite stating earlier this year that the "economics aren't quite working for us". Full story here: ow.ly/oMRk5100Uty

The more I interact with this company, the more outrageous it becomes - it’s going to get a place of honour at an upcoming Travel List of Shame post - reiterating my warning to anyone considering renting a car with @centauro_es!

Range limit is a big issue. Transcon needs 3,000. Average US flight range is ~1200. A321neo’s range flexibility is a key advantage. So for US domestic use, MAX 10 is good. Same for what Ryanair needs. But limits are real. This simply reinforces that Boeing needs something new.
The Boeing 737 MAX 10 could be a cash cow for low-cost carriers and transcontinental airlines operating consistently full, high-demand routes. Capable of carrying up to 230 passengers, it’s built for high-density domestic and transcon flying, where additional seats can boost revenue and improve per-seat economics. For some of these routes, airlines will have to choose between a B737 MAX 10 and a B787-8. Its official maximum design range is 3,100 nautical miles with an auxiliary fuel tank, while real-world range can fall to around 2,500–3,000 NM depending on passenger load and configuration. Boeing even says 365 NM more range than competing aircraft without auxiliary fuel tanks. I think for airlines with the right routes, the B737 MAX 10 will be a money-maker.
