Bentley T2. James May warned us that it would not only ruin our lives, but it would make us look like a “failed porn star”. I’m very conservative with my money, but I can feel a midlife crisis coming on. Sure, I be be like the dads of my kid’s friends and buy a Jeep Wrangler, Harley, and/or Corvette. Or, I could do

2006 VW Phaeton W12.

Anything out of warranty and cool.

So, I’ve owned two X350-generation Jaguar XJs, a 2004 Vanden Plas and a 2006 Vanden Plas. Those had the 4.2-liter naturally aspirated V8, rather than the supercharged one. However, the 4.2-liter N/A, 4.4-liter N/A and 4.2-liter S/C engines were some of Jaguar’s most reliable ever, and I’d rate them as high as the

A Lister Jaguar 7.0 Litre Le Mans Mk III

A jeep M677 Truck- basically a military variant of the jeep FC-170 with a crew cab. So cool, so weird. I want this to haul my mountain bikes and go camping with even though it’s probably too loud to get over 50 miles an hour and less safe than just riding my mountain bike on the freeway.

This is the system. Half of these cars belong to cops or cop adjacent peoples. The other half belong to more or less serious criminals. The third half belongs to Contractors. So in either of these cases, he is trying to expose the shady activities of people who consider themselves fully above or outside the law.

He’s exposing a massive corrupt part of NYC - their employees.

For all those decrying him as “vigilante”, a decent percentage of what he’s turning up sure seem to be municipal employees. Does not seem like “the system” is doing to well at dealing with them. As to no one being hurt. Right. Toll and traffic ticket avoidance hurts no one. Except those that do pay.

I’m on my third BMW but the current designs mean my next car will almost certainly be something else.  I cannot for the life of me understand why they went from their historical tasteful understatement to the more creased and angular look I used to associate with the Japanese makes at the same time that MB and Audi

There’s a reason the Fuego is “rare” - the things had a tendency to self-destruct remarkably quickly.

The Fuego threw me because I first thought it might have been a Euro or south American spec. I’d never seen one in the US with flush composite headlights, but a close look reveals those are sealed-beams but with covers. Aftermarket covers were a thing in the 80s, so it’s plausible. I also remember Fuegos as having

The Japan series with the robot calling him Bim and giving ridiculous factoids had me cracking up.

His work is an absolute gem of this world. I can’t tell you how many times I rewatch his Cars of the People mini-series. Maybe not his best work but an awesome piece nonetheless.

This mother fu**** mumble catch a ni**er by its toe in 2014 but this gets people up in arms...okay.

I don’t know. My perfect casting would be..

I could go for some more seasons of “Man Lab” and/or getting “The Reassembler” on proper TV instead of just YouTube.

Corn won because they threw a LOT of money at lawmakers.  It’s by far one of the worst to try and get sugar from.  The yield is so low, its laughable.

“Road salt remains the cheapest solution for keeping roads safe.” This has been the end of this story for quite some time. It’s too expensive for this type of use but is common in non-consumptive uses such as ballast for tractor tires.
