There it is.

This is the classiest-looking (yet still skimpy) attire of any of your selections in recent COTD awards, $kay—I find it fitting. I may not like Bentleys, but I like this.

Star for the opening line.

Well, that or a Camry.

I was going to make an obligatory “Look for the Ferarris on fire” comment, but then I realized that they broke up with you. Then I thought about Dodge, and was going to say you should check NASCAR—but didn’t Dodge pull out of that series, as well? Dean Kearney runs a Viper in Formula Drift, but you killed the Viper…

Looking at the conditions where they come into play (thanks, Wikipedia!), I now realize that you may well be right. I guess I was assuming something similar to what Chief Justice Rehnquist said where Miranda has “become embedded in routine police practice to the point where the warnings have become part of our…

Absolutely agreed.

I see your point, I was not intending to argue against due process for the detective, merely that I hope any investigation taking place should be about as open and shut as it gets, legally. The full 20-minute video makes it clear as day that the nurse goes over the three criteria where she’d be able to turn over a…

Right, I didn’t think about that.

I’m thinking more in these terms: if an officer’s actions result in the city having to pay out a sizable sum (high five-figures? I’m guessing), I would hope that a piece of collateral damage is that detective is on seriously thin ice for any misconduct in the future. Shit happens again, they get cut loose. Yes, it’d…

I hate that you’re likely right. In our society, nurse Wubbles is most likely to get the result of the department taking appropriate action by suing over Detective Payne’s conduct. I share your doubt that any internal investigation will have teeth to change his behavior in the future, but a sizable settlement payment…

Elsewhere, I think I saw someone estimate that it was the department’s attempt to get out in front of potential liability for the injuries to the truck driver because of the police chase. The logic being that if William Gray had any substances in his system, fault for the accident could be argued to be his (correct me…

Thank you for this.

I see your point, except for the CVT aspect. Can you think of an example in the performance world where a CVT transmission would be faster in a given application (assuming everything else as equal in the car) than a modern dual-clutch unit? Also, the ability to hold up to high power levels may be a factor, but I’m not…

Oh God, that’s about as bad as Thrust—firstly, yes, it’s a softcore porn, and the title should have tipped me off. In my defense, this was right after The Fast and the Furious took off, so knock-offs were everywhere, and the case art in the rental store just showed an FD3S with a wing...

It occurs to me that you’re very not wrong. I forgot about the EMP horseshit.

I’m fuzzy about details that I tried to block out, but I think you’re right: the editing mixed up a 370Z and R35 GT-R in the opening scene, the crash CGI was god-awful, and they made some big deal before the final race about designing a bodykit to create enough downforce that the lead’s car didn’t get airborne at 200…

I haven’t seen that, is it better or worse than 200 M.P.H.? That was the one where the FC RX-7 got stolen during production, so they just replaced it with an S14 in the same color and hoped no one noticed.

Star for best use of this picture.

I dunno, this doesn’t have a submarine breaking through ice to chase (and keep up with) the heroes’ unbelievably fast cars after being remotely hacked.
