Supposed to be a window net, this casting was modeled on the IROC Firebird race car from the late '90s.

Hot Wheels only recently did the A-Team van. If you're talking 1980s, then it was by Ertl.

I have a collection of 9100 mint-loose Hot Wheels-size cars, although only 1500 or so are Hot Wheels brand.

Pretty much anything out of my discography, I should think.

In what universe is Lucy Liu's Watson a "great performance"? Her face is botox-immobile, which is particularly obvious against Johnny Lee Miller's nuanced performance; just showing up and saying the lines does not a great performance make.

When life hands you LeMans … you practice at Lime Rock?

Patrick Dempsey is racing an old Pontiac? Oh wait, not that kind of LeMans.

CMJ! God, our radio station subscribed to CMJ when I was there in the late 80s/early 90s. They did a cool 10th anniversary 5CD box set in 1988-9, which I duly stole and added to my own collection. There was a big book that went with it. I wonder what it's worth now.

The box of Cocoa Krispies in my pantry suggests it might not be that bad.

I cannot hear Modern Love without picturing the opening credits to WWF All-Star Wrestling from the mid-80s; they ended with Sgt Slaughter saying the Pledge of Allegiance, back when WWF aired on Channel 9, WOR.

And not a word on his good work at Campbell-Ewald as a copywriter on the Chevy account in the '60s? God, an Elmore Leonard/Mad Men crossover …

Norton wouldn't promote the Italian Job remake either.

Not as awkward as random people on the street IDing her from the show up to a decade after she'd done it (it repeated ENDLESSLY)

It never occurred to ask whether she'd taken a class. So when she pushed the tape into the VCR (yes, it was that long ago …) I understood.

Laugh all you want. My wife appeared in one of the early episodes, the one about blowjob class. I didn't learn until after we'd been dating for a while, but still … I feel like I won the lottery.

Of course he had to cancel his South American tour; the former president of Egypt is still being held by the military there and isn't allowed to leave the country.

Wayne Coyne + sleepy Beatles cover = shoot me now please.

Later, it evolved into a Christine pastiche and got some ink …

Can he walk again after his stomping a while ago, or is he still limping?

I remember Matt Pinfield as one of the DJs from 106.3 WHTG at the Jersey Shore, the only alternative-ish station I could find in the NY metro area; they broadcast out of Eatontown, NJ. That was when Vintage Vinyl (the cool alt-record/CD store) had a second branch on Route 35, and the station DJs would work the…
