I bet he’s still alive, but after going through whatever kind of traumatic event he experienced, he’ll just be a shell of his former self.

You’re welcome! Glad you’re going to give them a try... I haven’t had a bad meal there yet! The menu is huge, but I almost always go for a spud omelette because it’s unique to them.

I’m on board with this philosophy and have used it to recreate one of my favorite breakfast-joint dishes at home: the Spud Omelette.

When I was buying my Stelvio there was a 2-year-old Ghibli in the showroom, which I was excited to sit in because I perceived Maserati to be a premium brand like Aston Martin. Boy was I disappointed... And I had the same experience with the Levante at the Chicago Auto Show last year. For what they’re asking they…

For the price range they compete in, they really need to improve the interior quality. If a $40-50k Alfa can have its own window switches and turn signal stalks, why does the $75k+ Maserati look and feel like a parts bin special inside?

This tire can’t be slashed...

UV exposure or just plain fatigue. All of those plastic fingers bending ever so slightly 1,000 times per mile x 50,000 miles (or whatever the expected lifespan is) just HAS to weaken them somehow, right?

I just learned about The Hu last week through Elton John’s “Rocket Hour” playlist on Apple. Really awesome! I also like their track “Yuve Yuve Yu” - I added it to my workout playlist in the unlikely event I ever go back to the gym. 

Congratulations, GM. You’ve used complicated technology to accomplish something that my Camaro could do 30 years ago. Bravo.

Yeah, you’re right. They absolutely COULD have done it, especially since they already had to make the rest of the bodywork for the front end, but it’s not shocking to me that a kit car manufacturer like this wouldn’t take that extra step. There are probably dozens of examples of things they could have done better to…

Good! Hopefully this means more shifting during oval races, and I REALLY hope it means more road courses on the calendar in place of the more boring oval tracks.

And as far as frozen burritos go, they actually have pretty good flavor on their own. Before I discovered El Monterrey, I used to eat Tina’s and I would have to douse them in Frank’s Red Hot to give them some kind of flavor, and so my mouth would burn, thereby masking the odd textural things that were going on.

Yeah, I hope they do more seasons. I think 8 episodes felt right though. They start off with ten people and whittle it down to three people in the final - more people at the start would feel kind of unwieldy, and having less people in the final would lose some of the intensity.

Seconded about trash taco traditions, and I’d like to include trash burritos as well. I used to alternate between eating too many Hot Pockets for dinner and too many Tina’s or El Monterrey burritos.

Excellent review; I find a lot of Hot Pockets are made better by dipping them in something. The burger ones I like to dip in ketchup. The Ham & Cheese one is one of the few that doesn’t need a dip, but I like to dip it into a spicy honey concoction that I make up, or sometimes barbecue sauce.

A lot of vehicles didn’t do the washer-bottle-in-the-fender thing until the 90's. The GM F-bodies still had a giant square tank underhood in this era, and actually so did a lot of Fords (aside from the Mustang I guess). 

My wife and I watched it on Hulu, if that helps. It’s good! And much like Bake Off, the contestants genuinely root for each other and form a bond.

What makes things far more expensive is having differing safety and emissions standards for different regions. Emissions systems for California are far more expensive to develop and certify on a per-unit basis since that cost can only be spread out over vehicles sold in California (and also New York and maybe one or…

What’s extremely worrying for Boeing is that this toxic culture isn’t isolated to the MAX program. A handful of insiders and industry journalists have said there is evidence of the same behavior and mindset on the 777X program, as well as the troubled 767-based KC-46 Pegasus tanker.
