They handle pedestrians pretty well!

Only 91 Octane? Pleb.

Now playing

I’ve always been a huge fan of the True Detective Season 1 Theme:

I had essentially zero experience with the Total War franchise, and pretty limited knowledge of the Warhammer Fantasy universe, and this game got me pretty solidly addicted to both. You won’t get too much of the setting lore from the game, but it’s not hard to find if you want to read more into it.

I can only assume that this is what prompted the couple of F-16s to takeoff and floor it over 495 a little before 9am this morning!

Although, after seeing a better picture, it appears that Capey McCape actually has 6 blue squares and 6 red squares, with a single cylinder, which would indicate that he is either a High Admiral, or a Surface Marshal, both of which are sort of odd ranks without a lot of explanation.

Tarkin would make sense, if not for the uniform, which is that of a Grand Admiral; a position which outranks even a Grand Moff like Tarkin.

A white uniform with 7 blue squares and 7 red ones on his rank badge mean he’s a Grand Admiral.

Horus does not approve!

I’d definitely spend money on a hardcover copy; e-books just don’t do it for me. Signed hardcover copies would be even better!

Your 3000GT is absolutely gorgeous! Somehow, despite reading Jalopnik since 2007, I managed to miss all of the previous posts about it! Any chance you have a higher resolution copy of that photo? I need a new desktop background and/or Facebook cover photo!

Ha, totally misread your initial statement!

Yeah, no idea what is going on there, with regards to the yellow lines. The camera car is clearly in the wrong lane on this side of the intersection, although it appears that the lane has a double yellow on both sides of it, once you cross the intersection; no idea what

The light on the right-hand side of the light is the green one, which is illuminated in the video. Traffic is stopped because of a backup, not because they do not have the red light. The cyclist likely assumed that she had the light, due to the stopped traffic, and neglected to pay adequate attention to what was

Because she was crossing against the light and not paying any attention to traffic.

Of course, if the crossguard was made out of Cortosis, your opponent would suddenly have a short-circuited lightsaber... Could be a clever trap.

Pontiac Fiero x a million. They had the potential to be decent, or even good, cars towards the end, but they were forever ham-stringed by the lack of decent engines in them. Apparently, GM toyed with the idea of putting a 3800 V6 in them, but it never happened. I'm pretty sure that GM avoided dropping a better engine

As do all the vehicles sold by Volvo Trucks. Methinks horsepower cannot be used as the sole measurement of performance chops!

The Cyberiad, while not one of his later works, was pretty damn bizarre. I would definitely call it one of the stranger things I have read.

Snapped a few pictures of this exact car a few months back at the first Hunt Valley Cars and Coffee of the year. Sharp Z.

So was the 3rd gen Acura Vigor and the Chrysler LH cars, but these are mechanical oddities. After going through the effort of cramming a 4.6l, DOHC V8 in a Focus, I doubt that anyone would go through the additional hassle of making it longitudinal FWD.
