Just chipped a tooth on my monitor. Thanks!

My hero! My friend still has his old XBox also and it’s probably the only thing we still play on it. (Turning on the “Exploding Chickens” cheat is always ridiculous fun.)

This was one of my favorite cars to race against in Test Drive: Eve of Destruction. I think in that game it was called the Moth but it was otherwise identical and very easy to send sailing when you hit it with a bigger car. 

It was so cool to see. I got some pictures on my iPhone but sadly never with an actual camera.

Especially given all of the security measures in place, I would think it would be a very difficult thing to pull off just once, let alone for over a decade. It’s an interesting story for sure!

If McDonald’s doesn’t unveil that bronze Quarter Pounder statue in Des Plaines, IL, home of their first franchise restaurant, then nothing is right with the world.

“We’ve killed Holden, but we’ve decided to bring it back by grafting the front end of Holden cars onto other existing vehicles...”

The diecast collector in me REALLY wants them to work with one of the major companies to release a “C8 Development” cars. Blackjack and the camo’d car would look cool on the shelf next to a production-version C8 when that’s released.

I don’t think Jeep would be the right brand for it unless they really pitched the off-road capability, but it has some neat features that I could see people wanting today like the cool bike mounts and hybrid drivetrain.  

There’s a place near me that has one, too although I found their grilled cheese to be too dry.

One thing we haven’t seen from national chains that I’ve seen at local joints is a peanut butter and jelly burger.

I’ve seen donut-burger combos in various places before (never knew it was called the Luther burger though) but I never thought I’d see the day where something like that would be available from a national fast food chain. Now I don’t think that day is too far off.

I think the most surprising thing about it to me was that they had to replace tires every 30,000 miles or so. I’m sure that’s due to the weight of the vehicle, plus carrying people around half the time, but still, I’d have expected them to get to 50-60k on average.

I did read it. Knowing that I’ve watched it, and that Marnie is watching it, I asked if “anybody else” was. Sorry for confusing you by not spelling it out. 

Is anybody else here watching McMillion$? My wife and I finished the third episode the other night.

I suppose if anybody was going to come up with this abomination, it would have to be KFC, although I could see Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s doing something similar. I think I got indigestion and permanently sticky fingers just from looking the main picture.

I think the head game component of this can’t be ignored. Whether or not there’s an actual in-race benefit of this system doesn’t matter at this point - they’ve now put other teams on the back foot and are forcing them to take time away from other developments to investigate this and try to implement it in their own…

Man that book is so good. My only critique is that I wish the diagrams were larger so his notes and things were more legible. But it provided such a fascinating insight into the evolution of F1 car design... I’ve let a friend borrow it for a while and I just might read it again when I get it back. 

Haha that’s a great quote that I’ve never heard before.

It looks like Los Angeles in the 1970's.
