Is this a story about an entitled actor not getting his way or a story about an actor not getting what is a norm for the industry via an endorsement (which happens to be included in a multi-million dollar film contract)? I’m not in the industry, but this is one or the other.. Which is it?

Does every actor get free…

Are you taking the side of the rich guy? He was already paid by a studio with a well negotiated contract, and this was his 4th-5th movie. He was already rich.

They’re both stupid.

The PR you get from seeing “Bond” driving this around town seems like a drop in the bucket for advertising. If your PR guy was creative, you could capitalize on this big time with an agreement of some kind of public display at a fund raiser red carpet event.

Obviously Brosnan was rich enough to…

250 years ;)

Real beer doesn’t need forced C02.

His luck will run out eventually.

If there’s no one at a stop sign, does it matter if they stop though? I’ll admit, I slow, check traffic, and go without stopping. If there’s another car I’ll stop. Its like using a turn signal when you’re by yourself.. actually I do that, but you get my point. I’m pretty risk adverse, but this seems harmless.

Anyone on a Lyme or Bird is an asshat, whether drunk or not.

I mean, as long as there’s no traffic I dont see the problem. I slow, look both ways and proceed like most people who want to stay alive.

“I’ve seen plenty of guys treat a red light as a stop sign and a stop sign as a yield though.”

Maybe follow the rules of the road and practice common human decency. Its illegal to ride on a sidewalk, and unsafe. Most sidewalks have huge cracks/bumps which pop a tire or bend a wheel.

I’ve been cycling for 20 years and I fail to see the type of cyclist you’re talking about, but they’ve been prolifically chronicled on the internet. The only cyclists I see are the ones trying to not die while taking every safeguard available. I’m talking about road bikes, not kids on a rattle can painted BMX riding…

I’ve always been conflicted about this car. The supercharged version is automatic only (because its a SLK AMG in Chrysler clothing). Maybe the base model is the better of the two at this stage given the supercharger is due for rebuilding if the oil runs dry. I bet the base engine is fine.

Love this series, I just watched this with my 7-year-old. We’ve been going over design, sketching techniques, and we have an R53 Mini Cooper S (we watched that one first) so he was hooked.

You could tell this sketch meant nothing for him to bang out, he used printed paper and a Bic pen.

What is this click-through bullshit? Anything to up the ad revenue, huh? This constant soul-sucking by corporations of media needs to stop. Jalopnik might as well be run by a hedge-fund manager.

A scroll down story would be so much cleaner, no reason for this other than greed. Short sighted greed.

So they’ve shaven’ Maven?
