The TS050s have been pretty dominant the last couple of years at Le Mans and only lost because of reliability. So victory is far from a sure thing. That’s what makes Le Mans so much more interesting (to me) than other series. Even when the top six cars are separated by multiple minutes each, so that the spread is…

She looks exhausted.

How could you think England could do badly an international match with that much tal-

As the owner of a ‘18 E63 Wagon, I may be biased but the E-class interior works MUCH better with the integrated screens rather than the “iPad glued to dash” with odd intersection of shapes that come together in a jumble compared of the C-class

in 20 years most people will still be driving around the same old shit they have now

LOL. I too chucked. He rants about a system he doesn’t believe in to fix a problem. He even goes so far as to say “your laws” “your legislation”, completely disassociating from the said system he is bitching about. I am sure the irony is lost on him.

That would be a compelling reason, but the problem is when you label yourself an “anarchist” you label yourself as someone who has a political philosophy that is neither useful nor moral in anything other than a hypothetical discussion.

Because when it’s our turn, we won’t “make excuses for the terror.” Marx.

I’m mad they didn’t do this too, but I have to admit I chuckled a bit at a self-described anarchist going on a rant that is essentially “The state needs to do something about this very pressing problem”.

Yeah, I was being facetious. I haven’t lived in Texas in two decades, but growing up in the state, I hated Houston. My impression was that of a big, messy, ugly city with weather worse than my part of the state (split time b/w San Antonio and Austin).

Remember how the TV ads for Arachnophobia made it look like a Ghostbusters-style comedy about a wacky exterminator hunting spiders?

I talked to a Ford tech recently while denying an insurance claim for a “bro” on his 2017 F-350 that needed a new fuel and DEF system. We’re in a fairly urban area, and apparently for these new diesel trucks to go into a regen for their DEF they need to be driven for a considerable length of time. A bunch of short…

I agree with you, but I draw the line at being able to stay in your lane WITH reasonable buffer space and parking in a space with reasonable space to open your and other people’s doors (not necessarily at the same time.)

Pickup trucks should not be banned. I do think, however, that the licensing tier is far too lenient.

Yes! I drove my brother’s Dodge 3500 to the grocery store while visiting in Austin last week and it’s miserable for the driver too.

I would never own a full-sized pickup(except for maybe a SRT10), but warning bells go off when someone starts opining on what everyone else should drive. I can see similar arguments made against V8 ponycars- two inefficient, too big, too powerful, etc. My overriding vehicular ownership philosophy is: What car or…

This doesn’t directly address #metoo, but is relevant your mention of his treatment of everyone regardless of fame (and power): the Hanoi episode should have a monument that plays the Obama scene. Watch the entire scene with Obama, but especially from 31:00. It’s looking back at an alternate reality where people still…

I loved how he interacted with his crew like family. I can’t remember if it was Parts or No Reservations, but one of my best memories was Tony on a boat in the middle of a jungle with no light, trying to cook dinner for the camera and boat crew because it was the only thing he could do to contribute. The knife was…

I was just expressing something similar about Bourdain (except in regards to his gift for appreciating the basic humanity people from all cultures share, and presenting that to his viewing audience - his shows are often a great antidote to dehumanization and othering).

The name Mack Hogan sounds so perfect, like it could be Beef Musclestrong instead and be just as believable. What a name.
