She’ll change her tune (and daily ride) after the third week of trying to put the kid carrier into the back seat of that sardine can!

1.8 liters and was paired to a mandatory six-speed manual.

At least he has his leathers, you could really encourage him to always wear them.

Well, there are two of them cruising around my area, Idaho Falls. I easily spot them since a friend of mine drove one in college and I’m nostalgic.

Many if not most people buy houses they can barely afford, with very little down. I imagine that the fella with the beater is actually just tired of keeping up appearances, and doesn’t care what his equally strapped neighbors think.

This really is a neat write up of an alt-universe. I love the included nose droop of the 70's era, for the record.

Seriously, those head gaskets get ruined like they’re made of paper. Take a good long look at the head gasket, and ask the seller when it was last replaced.

I’ve been thinking about my next vehicle needing to be Astromech Droid worthy - those droids aren’t easy to put into truck beds or car trunks. This van though... the low load height, plenty of space, decent mileage.... I like it. I like it a lot.

Oh, for sure they were in the original series, as well as the Rebels cartoon, but they didn’t make an appearance in the Force Awakens which really bummed me out.

Also used by Frozen Plasma in their terrific song “War/Flashbacks.” Absolutely worth the listen.

I kept an eye out specifically for R3s, no such luck with the new movie.

I thought the same. The Optima is a handsome looking vehicle, and I would buy an AWD Optima wagon the moment they let one out of the gate.

“In the rear hatch area were the remnants of the original toolkit which looking like they were on loan from the Titanic museum”

I’m going to see it again tomorrow, I’ll keep an eye out and let you know!

The production team explained the variations to George Lucas while he was explaining the scene. According to the production team, GL described the droid as an R4, which the team clarified as “That’s the one with the lampshade.” to which GL said, no, the round dome. Long story short, GL never gave a crap about which…

You know, I saw R2, R4, R5 (I think) and R6 units, but no R3s. That just kills me that the clear domed astromechs got passed over.

George so frequently changes his tune, he’s become hard to believe. Truthfully, the beta vs gold edition argument works for technology, but art is a different territory. We don’t update classic paintings with changes in clothing styles, and we don’t remix old music tracks while making the original unavailable.
