When Tunstall finished with it, he sold it to Escobar, who raced it in Columbia

the best version of jolene is the original 45 played at 33rpm.

License to Kill could easily star Chuck Norris.

That’s just a matter of budget, and at the time, I honestly don’t think the action in Bond films was quite up to Bruckheimer standards. The point is that story-wise, License to Kill could easily star Chuck Norris. The main difference would be that when a helicopter explodes in Golan & Globus’s License to Kill, you’d…

...the locomotive first served on the Reading Railroad out of Pennsylvania before getting shipped off to Arizona.

That engine, while the end of an evolutionary branch, was actually pretty amazing. Especially the packaging. I had one in my VW Van. I’ve never been a good wrencher, but I could make that thing work just by yelling at it.

That is just lovely.

This leads into a discussion of both alternative VWs and the general subject of hinged rear windows on rear engined cars like the Hillman Imp. While this 412 is obviously a prototype for the home market it may have also been used in Brasilia development. Brasilia hatch included for reference.

I still want a Type 4 wagon.  They're getting pricey, though.

LOL.

LOL.

The ‘73 Fury Coupe from Thunderbolt & Lightfoot. There’s a lucky rabbit’s foot in there somewhere...

For me, it would have to be the Wagon Queen Family Truckster from the original National Lampoon’s Vacation. That car was a central character in the movie and the physical embodiment of embarrassing, mediocre, malaise-era motoring. The fact that the filmmakers decided to take a real station wagon and push everything…

Violet’s 69 Buick Skylark from “9 to 5"--you know, the one with the “short in the trunk”!

Edit: I am sorry I forgot to add the title. The movie is the Battle of Britian.

Great call! When George and Teri first pull up to U62 in it and Al’s just beaming behind the wheel of this tiny, ridiculous car, it just feels like it’s the perfect complement to the moment where nobody can see the genius buried within but this one man.

This movie is one of my favorite just cause I love the wonderful old warbirds. But the Alvis and the MG in this movie are just an added bonus. Really just pushes the fighter pilot aesthetic with these British Roadsters. Also made me fall in love with roadsters.

Since it long stopped being funny, just turn it into an Apprentice-like reality show already, with potential cast members competing for a spot by retrieving Lorne Michaels’ dry cleaning or trimming his nose hairs.

To paraphrase a comment I made elsewhere: if they’d called it HorseRoidic Trumpjuice the vaccination rate would be 100% for MAGAts by now.

Ohhh...that’s actually a tough one to answer but I’ve got two different answers for ya.
