I’ll be there...again!

Looks like a Photoshop. There was no coupe on that version or maybe the whole Protege line has been 4 door? I dont remember a Protege 2 door

Please, Please, Please - Justin, go find the old documentary ‘Slasher’ directed by John Landis about how the used car dealerships go into selling lots of volume into a single weekend. Do that one next. You will thank me for it.

Yeah, so you can spend your holiday budget buying $14 burgers, $4 coke and/or $18 alcoholic drinks. Airports are only good at fleecing users of their hard-earned money. Besides lately in most airports is a fight to the death to find wall plus to charge. The less time, the better.

CP - You can find a proper 2006 VW Phaeton W12, same engine, with way more comfort and panache, and spend approx $15K for a 90K miles example.

I suppose at home you still have a 15" CRT monitor from 1989 attached to your computer, displaying text in green. Good for you.

Not really. Pre and Post Spyker sale, they all had this horrible radio.

Ha Torch! You think that’s bad? How about the incredibly awful radio they gave the 2010-2011 Saab 9-5? It’s made of awful green LCD screen that would be rejected by Geely in the late 90's as too chintzy - Instead they added this monstrosity to the Saab 9-5 dashboard to ‘add Saab-iness’ Urgh. If I ever do buy a 9-5 it…

Are there any drinks actually mixing Fernet-Branca? I always have it ‘San Francisco’ style, which is a straight shot, with a side of beer of ginger ale for a chaser. Fernet is one of those drinks only a few people try after the first time. I’m glad I stuck with it.

Tommy Lee Jones does an 8 on the Dennis Leary scenery-eating-scale - convert that to Dennis Hopper’s units of measurement.

This is one of those movies that if it is playing, I will stop and watch it. It was also one of the first movies I ‘bought’ (remember Columbia House getting into VHS movies?) so yes, tremendously enjoyable. This one, ‘Speed’, ‘The Rock’ and ‘Backdraft’ were the quintessential action movies on the early 90's.

No Louvers either.

‘The Lone Gunmen’ were funny on their own right. Sure, some episodes were stinkers, but it was an enjoyable show. Their constant chasing of Femme Fatale Yves Adele Harlow was funny. Danny as the dumb guy was probably a miscast, but it could’ve worked. If they had added a few ‘Black Mirror’ technology run Amok episodes…

That was awesome, However the strip dates the move to LA as 2003, not 2015... it has been 15 years? I would imagine HBO turn it down (that was way too early before streaming) and he went back to Canada? Dunno

Speaking of Joe Matt, he hasn’t published any autobiographical stuff in a long while. Methinks the poor guy discovered porn on the internet and shall never leave his house again, or do any extra work. What a pity. I would love to see Joe approaching things like Tinder, Pornhub, etc...

Did the car appear in any of the past 8 F&F movies? - Collectible fo’sho

You cannot be serious. Holder???

From someone who’s seen Ms. Hill live in 2008, 2013 and 2017, I can tell you that, when she does show up, the songs she sings continue to be from ‘Miseducation’ and 2-3 from her ‘Unplugged’ album and that’s it. She will sing the songs you love on completely new bizarre arrangements that you cannot follow. At least the…

One Myth - I always nickname my cars:

Just like any car, they can be junk when not maintained. I agree they haven’t aged well when not pampered. But working well, no other car has such torque at low speeds. The turbo delivers an awesome boost at every gear. I’ve seen 3000GTs closer to 160K miles now, which means they can go the long way in terms of…
