3: A Koenigsegg? We’re talking about a truly astonishing amount of money, which deserves an equally astonishing price tag. Even the Agera Final — which has the RS’s chassis and the One:1's engine, and which they will only build three of — is slated to have a price tag around $5M. Even assuming the winner takes the…

Caveat: I haven’t lived in NYC since 2004. That said, I can’t imagine this has changed much, and almost certainly not for the better.

I wonder if one of those junkers or that IBM keyboard is worth more these days?

Figured it out:

The truck can at least be excused because of the Chicken Tax. Spot on as far as the rest goes, especially the other CUVs/SUVs. A Brazilian friend of mine in grad school once commented how noticeable it is that VW basically doesn’t exist here, and I think the only people I know with (modern/mainstream) VAG products…

The plot was transparent and paper thin, but the CGI was amazing. I saw it in 3D IMAX, which was pretty incredible. Later, I saw part of it on a nice HDTV setup and thought they were from an xBox game. I might see one of the sequels (again in IMAX) just to see how far visual effects will have come.

Because if Gal Gadot (or another woman) is Bond you know the alt right gamergate trolls are never going to be able to be satisfied and just ruin the entire experience.

Every clip I’ve seen from Torque looks like it comes from one of those Swedish action movie parodies. Someday I need to sit down and watch the whole thing.

You can see a bunch of that stuff in Super Size Me. Some of it is... weird.

Waffle House. I’m still not sure how they make them so damn bland.

That watch looks like something you’d need if you were in command of a submarine, or a spaceship.

They’re not that expensive if you’re not picky.

Now that’s a catback!

When I heard about it I assumed he was once of the many, many white Southern dudes who are named after Robert E. Lee

“Mutual”

Part of me refuses to believe my feet could ever move that fast.
