I’m sure it went something like this: “But I’m driving a Land Rover! I can’t get stuck!”

I’m of the generation that grew up using maps and Atlas’s and having a ton of maps in my car but even I don’t use them anymore. I rely on Waze and Google, compare the two and then use some common sense. I’m definitely not going to go down a weird dirt road for more than a mile at best with hopes that the road will get…

Dealing with recalls when your Manufacturer goes out of business was fun on two levels. 1. the issue kept reoccurring 2. we were now quasi orphaned

Shouldn’t any modern car be able to overpower its engine with brakes fully applied? I mean short of a top fuel dragster I cannot see how the brakes were also failing unless there is some weird electronic issue.

Easy for me: Alfa Romeo. Dad bought a new then 67' Super as our family car when I was 1yo to replace his Fiat 600L. I’ve loved them ever since. And for further justification, I present Mr. Clarkson reviewing a Giulia Quad... A car I lust after.  The car’s are never mainstream (even when they paired with Toyota ages…

Interesting points! Lady Gaga is of Italian background ie: Stephani Germanotta but not sure how exposed to off the boat Italians she might have been to get a good accent or not.  I’d rather not hear an accent like in the Godfather.  Everyone would theoretically have been immigrants with accents but the film didn’t…

Came here for this question.  I watched Gucci on a flight home from Italy and being a first Gen American of a Sicilian father listening to his accent was painful.  I would have been happier if he spoke in  his regular voice.

Those three developed their own chemistry and dynamic which was fun to watch.  Ferrara had his NY centric style of humor and relationship with cars.  Couldn’t let Tiny dancer’s ego get the best of him and Rutt is just everybody’s friend and nerd.

That is indeed the one! Until I’d seen that episode I thought that specific stereotype had all but died out...I guess I was wrong. Alabama has never nor it ever will be on my “must see locations”.  My mom has told the story of us as a family in 75 road tripping down to Disney from NJ in the family Alfa Giulia Super. …

Most of the early UK roadtrips were always great while the later ones could be formulaic but one of the last ones of the May/Hammond/Clarkson era was the US roadtrip where they really nearly got their asses handed to them.

I think deciding to halt production indefinitely is out of respect for Freddie who is still recovering and the optics of replacing him even temporarily might not be great.  Legally I’d think there is some stuff going on behind the scenes too that may otherwise preclude commencement.  That might be either the…

My cousin years ago brought the worst car. Clapped out 71 Pontiac Ventura that I sold him. Cherry bomb exhaust, jacked up, partly primered with blacked out windows.

Bowie: He lost the plot after “Let’s Dance” which was on such heavy rotation back then that I still cannot hear most of the songs without turning the dial. He went on to work with Trent Reznor (and essentially tried to ape NIN style music) and even toured with him. At the earliest concerts he initially refused to…

Agreed. I’d assume they checked for any heat induced resultant deflection or outright settlement and jacked everything back in place to wedge the cribbing in there until they can come up with a column replacement scheme.  

Similar event happened in NYC and Dept Of Buildings started looking at what the spaces beneath roadways and elevated rails are being utilized for.  Potentially a huge undertaking as most of the local commuter lines (LIRR) utilize the space beneath for various uses.

It was a left wing conspiracy to stop her display of freedom of stupid... I mean speech.

A much younger version of me would have likely affected the change I wanted to see. But I have a career, family, etc.. so potential ramifications if caught are exponentially problematic. Let him literally fly his freak flags! At least we know what he is!

Yeah, I’ve seen the random sticker or two. I’ve never seen anyone’s house festooned with “Biden Is the greatest” flags or “Obama owns the Conservatives!” type of BS crap. They’ve become the snowflakes they were so happy mock about being too sensitive about everything.

yup, exactly this!  But I think that’s also the difference in his followers. A lack of moral compass.  Very much a bully mentality, so why would we want to stoop to their level right?

From about the age of 3 I’ve been drawing cars (rudimentary of course) but as an adolescent in the 70's the 57 Chevy Bel Air was my idea of cool. I continued sketching cars and building 1/24 scale cars. I still have those sketches and my earliest ones are partly of Bel Air derivatives, almost always having those rear…
