A high school friend of mine had one of those - it was already beat up and crusty by 1990 - but even with an automatic it was fun to drive. These, like most 80's Japanese cars, pretty much all dissolved like sugar cubes here in the Middle West. 

For real, were I a judge handling this request, I’d immediately reduce his travel radius to the curb in his front yard, then I’d call his lawyer into my office and kick him or her square in the backside, because if you’re going to waste my time I ought to get a little enjoyment out of it.

See, I’d have called it the “Ento” (pronounced “On-Toe”, like Tonto), but “the Rage” (rhyming with garage) sounds sexier.

Were they ever specific about what kind of show Ava wrote for? If it was something really offbeat, I can see her coming across as un-funny if you’re expecting one liners and jokes about plastic surgery (that said, her earnestness can be really annoying). 

I will say, that there’s a definite difference between being…

A few days late to the party but I think I can explain it for you.

I think, when Ava walks in the house, she says “I’m sorry I missed him” or something similar. This leads me to believe that her dad was in the hospital after the stroke, and died before she could get to Boston (I think the establishing shot is of…

You know what they say - there’s nothing quite as inconspicuous as a conspicuous car. 

Yeah, I understand the Explorer is quite quick - I just looked it up and the 3.0 Ecoboost makes 400 hp (and they no longer list the sedan, so the SUV and two pickups are all they are offering for law enforcement). Rather reminds me of the olden dayes when you could get a big 440 under the hood of your Polara police…

Not UK based, but I do know that response vehicles in town areas tend to be smaller engined sedans, like the Vauxhall Astra, and faster cars like BMW 3 series can be found doing work on the motorway. IIRC, the individual forces could choose their cars and there’s far more variety than here in the States, where it’s…

I would watch this show.

You weren’t the only one. Plus, Dylan hasn’t exactly shown that he’s all that happy to have a kid in the first place - he’s not willing to pony up any money to help his kid’s health problems without it going through the court, but he’s perfectly happy to take him for the weekend just to piss off Erin (or probably…

While you’re right (we had a couple places like that near me), I doubt an O’Reilly’s is that kind of place. I don’t think they buy old school places and just change the name, they start from scratch.

That said, if Luigi has been in the business long enough he probably can source all kinds of weird stuff and makes sure…

FYI the video is muted but you can turn the sound on. It sounds like people are saying to call an ambulance but they seemed more concerned about taking the keys out, so perhaps he’s had a history of falling out of his cart and jumping back in. 

It’s the “I need to speak to your manager” culture. A very large number of people feel that anyone in any kind of a customer facing job - be it flight attendant, sales clerk, waitstaff, desk clerk, etc., is subhuman. Outside of law enforcement, anyone who isn’t in an office doing office things isn’t really anyone you…

After watching DT’s adventure with Project Postal, I’m surprised he hasn’t been offered a deal there. 

I’m a fan of the 76 ball, myself.

This scratches exactly the same itch that my model railroad layout does, and now I’m trying to figure out how to build a gravity racing course around that basement space hog. 

I’ve seen a few cars with just one adult on them, and once an adult woman with like six stick figure cats. If I stickered cars I’d probably do that, whether I had kids or not.

I always hoped to meet one of these people in a parking lot, so I could comment on the stickers and say “Nice! I’ve had sex (whatever the…

I honestly don’t know why DT hasn’t been offered a show on Motor Trend. 

Leather seats, especially in a convertible. Had them in my old Miata, and they were just terrible. Searing hot in the summer, completely solid in the winter, and it wore out much faster than the cloth seats in our Honda which still look good at the same age as the Miata was. (For the record, we had a couple of…

FWIW I ran all seasons on my old ‘96 Miata for like 16 years and never felt the need for snows or anything else. Got stuck like three times, at least one of which was the result of me doing donuts in the parking lot at work. (I will admit the car had limited slip).

I did get snows for my current Miata - it came…
