Valor & Mystic have been going back and forth in my area for days, but there’s this ONE gym that’s at a car dealer (of all things) that’s consistently stayed with Instinct. The only reason I can think of is that people don’t want to deal with the sales folks...

“France24 managed to contact the person pictured in the photos, but have decided not to publish his real name.”

Spoiler-y content for those who never read/finished reading the Animorphs series:

I know why they do it (cheap filming), but it still bothers me that The Flash uses Portland for most aerial shots of STAR Labs, yet somewhere else for everything else. Vancouver, I think.

I had a ‘94 Trooper for years. That beast was great in many ways, but I never understood the logic behind the 70/30 doors. Most “split doors” allow you to open the smaller one first in order to throw something small in the back quickly. Not in the Trooper’s case!

For me, the answer is C5 Corvette.

THANK YOU! Now I have the perfect thing to show people when they ask me why I mod my cars!

You’ve also got to consider that she’s a novelist. We tend to over-express ourselves with written words.

105) Baboo: Monocle-wearing vampire-monkey ocelot. Part of Rita’s Cheryl’s entourage.

By no means am I a Mustang fan, but ironically I had “A Faster Horse” playing on Netflix while reading this. If the guy who was responsible for this design pops up, I’ll send you his name... Then you can track him down and rage-vomit on his desk.

Why does the Red Ranger’s armor remind me of Lord Zedd?

As a resident of Virginia, I agree that the annual inspections suck. They’re an inconvenience, and the dishonest shops are a headache! However, having been previously employed by a state inspection station, I know a few tips to avoid Big Jim’s rip-offs.

Yeah, that was a running joke between him and I for a couple years.
Dad: You know what really ____ (insert endings like “pisses me off”, “grinds my gears”, “burns my up”)?
Me: Smart cars?
Dad: ...
He always told me it’s better to be a smartass than a dumbass

My dad can relate to this. His dad was dying from Alzheimer’s, he was going through a tough divorce from his second wife (that stemmed from a big mistake he made), and he had just pissed off the leaders of the city he worked for in a high-profile way. Go figure when a Smart car cuts him off in traffic, he has a bit of…

That’s... freaking cool

There’s a book called Scarecrow, by Matthew Reilly, where the main guy is making an escape. He goes into the garage of a really rich guy, and sees all manner of supercars... and an Impreza rally car. Guess which one he steals?

When I was growing up, my grandma had an early ‘90's GMC Safari. I hated that thing back then because of the “It’s not cool to ride in a van” stigma; but as an adult, I miss that damn thing. It was the only car that ran reliably in my family from 1999-2002; and after high school it was what my grandma used it for…

For some reason, that reminded me of this:

MERCURY MYSTIQUE MISTAKE

Where I live, I get to see & hear F-22's fly over very often. When their flight plan has them pass over my place in a sweeping left turn, they emit this eerie, yet oddly satisfying “vvwwwWWWWOOOOoooooooo” sound in addition to the standard fighter jet noises one would typically hear. I still haven’t figured out what it…
