I agree with you that I’m generally annoyed/disappointed when a manufacturer builds to the test, but the flip side of that is that the manufacturers are faced with a lot of conflicting objectives when designing a vehicle that I can understand how some can get it wrong so easily.

Alien Roast Beef, Y’all!

Ford could easily rebadge this and sell it as an electric Transit in my opinion. It would make a lot of sense for them to partner up on the development of this van. 

I keep hoping the SCG cars will show up in Forza 7... but alas, nothing yet.

Agreed, although shortening it to “scrummy” and saying it in a British accent like Mary Berry is perfectly acceptable. 

I love a good sultry piece of banana bread...

I swear to you all, we need the word moist. How else are you going to describe a perfectly baked muffin, or a succulent roast goose?

I really expected this to be a Fancy Kristen post. Have you started to acquire her tastes, Alanis? 

So a bike would theoretically be more stable with a rotary engine than with a piston engine?  If so, has anybody tried this?? 

What if they shook up the order of the Bread Week episode a little bit next season; do the Signature Challenge, start the sourdough, then film the Showstopper on day one with the rest of the sourdough technical on day two... I bet they could do it. Having challenges spread out over two days is rare, but they’ve done…

I had a TLX for three years, and generally liked it for what it was. I honestly didn’t mind the dual screens - sometimes they felt redundant and unnecessary but other times it was helpful, like being able to have nav, music and HVAC info displayed at the same time.

I think Patrick’s suggestion is spot-on. If they have that kind of budget they can get an optioned-0ut V90 XC and have one of the best, most comfortable wagons ever made. Pretty sure they can even get it in brown! 

Could this be used when making peanut butter at home to avoid having to stir it every time I want to use it? 

I’m personally not a fan of very hop-forward beers either and one of my favorite go-to beer styles is hefeweizen, or its cousin that usually comes around this time of year, dunkelweizen. Sweeter, almost fruity (without being fruity) and no wince-inducing bitterness.

I’m not really up on Toyota’s JDM offerings... aside from being RHD, how is the Cresta different from the Cressida that we had for a while here in the US?  To me they look the same, although pictures can be deceiving, and if I’m not mistaken the Cressida was also RWD with an inline six, right? 

So it’s still a great option for about 95% of the population, who don’t drive far enough for it to matter.

Doesn’t Tesla warranty their motors though for a million miles? Or did I misread that somewhere?

Gunther can make an appearance, creeping on Rachel’s online profiles, stealing her hair from the salon she goes to so he can make a Rachel doll at home, etc.

There will be coffee drinks “inspired by the culture and traditions of Chicago.

There’s a great breakfast place in my town that always has duck eggs on the menu. They’re SO good.
