The 300zx is the car that, along with the Viper, made me care about cars in the first place. A perfect design.

I rode my Moto Guzzi through a tornado when one touched down off Street Rd and nothing bad happened except my Tanfoglio got a scratch on it. I was going to the Macaroni Grill to pick up something to eat while I watched all my favorite poliziotteschi and giallo films.

Martin Scorsese can make a movie about whomever he wishes.

Toyota is surely being influenced by unrelated material conditions: they can’t make enough cars to satisfy demand now, and to switch to EV models would require at least a year of cancelling an existing model and retooling the factory space to create one.

That said, they’re right about material constraints as well. The…

Toyota is absolutely right about the rare earth minerals needed to produce EV batteries. It’s a subject that comes up periodically in the comments and is generally hand waved with the phrase “the batteries are getting better all the time” but we’ve been hearing that for quite a while now. My prediction is that Toyota…

Friend of mine worked on JACK REACHER. He’s worked on a number of AAA projects.

Tom Cruise learns EVERYONE’S name on set. Tom Cruise treats EVERYONE like a human being on set.

It goes a long way.

The omission of the original STAR TREK here is mind boggling. The most famous case of fan revolt staving off cancellation ever. 

That must be why there’s so many shootings in West Philly and Chester— all the black white supremacists there. What I don’t get is why there’s so few in white areas like Yardley and Horsham? With so many more white people it should be like a spaghetti western.

Are they also going to charge the two other people who held down Neely while he was in the sleeper hold? People act like he acted alone but clearly a number of people on the subway car saw Neely as some kind of threat. 

The Fiat acquisition has had the opposite effect the Mercedes merger did on Jeep-- those guys are having a ball designing new looks and concepts right now.

Saw a dilapidated late 80's Bentley Turbo R in a lot in North Richmond next to a Pizza Hut two years ago

Until the pandemic we had a 25 year low in violent crime and a news media at every level from the local to the international that sensationalized violent crime without context to the point where they’ve permanently put the fear into people. 

It is really not surprising that the estimation for his work increased the second he started playing the character without dialogue George Lucas had written. There is a sense that the prequels have been so completely pillaged by long form criticism (RLM’s series on the prequels basically invented vulgar long form…

His story is that he met with the FBI to help a Chinese friend who had criticized that regime get out of China.

That’s not exactly snitching, but I would be shocked if any of the reacting tweets came from people who read the story beyond the headline.

Hong Kong still has a bigger theatrical presence in America than the mainland.

China is on the cusp of catastrophic demographic collapse and its being talked about in this thread like its the inevitable world dominator.

1. Mercedes in the 80's? It’s a fine looking car but it’s no gull wing.
2. Agreed.
3. Agreed.
4. The title of the article is “greatest eras” and then you make an argument that BMW post 2000 is underrated. Who cares?
5. C2 Corvette is special but Chevy’s GOAT period is clearly the very late 50's.
6. You didn’t even really…

And the hunting shotgun generally in 12 gauge has been the traditional home defense weapon in America since the Pilgrims. Generally people using handguns or a .223 rifle in some config for home defense in America are doing so because they have trouble with the blowback from a shotgun or some kind of concern about…

Can you really talk about ideological convivence in defense of a federal judge who swore an oath to the Constitution who then tries to de-legitimize the same document when it is no longer politically expedient?

“Also sidenote: those hunting weapons are great for home defence, much more so than that pistol. Also much harder for kids to blow their heads off, especially if they are properly kept in safe.”

So why do you guys have to keep yours at the gun club?
