These books are amazing in Colorado. When I was in high school (c. 1999). we took my brother’s shitty dodge raider on the neatest little pass that put us out right at Breckinridge. Went through some 1800’s gold-town structures. Would’ve never known about it but for the trail book.

My dad dated a string of divorcees in the mid 90's, all of whom had awesome cars of their day. My favorite was the Infiniti J30 - the leather smelled incredible and the analog clock was nice. Another girlfriend had an SC400, emerald green with gold badges. The backseat was fine for me, an 8 year old. And when dad…

Don’t forget TLC. RIP, learning.

I’ve always remembered it as white, but I was 9 years old. Could’ve certainly been gold - and yes it was a Mk1.

OK, maybe add a light bar.

I’ve seen it done! My dad dragged me to the SHORegistry annual convention once in Dallas - must’ve been 1994 or 95. Which, in hindsight, is the dorkiest thing he ever did. There was an old Esprit in the parking lot and I couldn’t figure out why, until I looked in the back to see that pretty Yamaha V6.

For clarification I didn’t say “a LR” I said this new defender, specifically. Consumer Reports lists the Wrangler as the 3rd least reliable vehicle, only ahead of the Camaro & Colorado. Both brands are abysmal. My logic is that LR has spent more money on the Defender rollout than any in their history [citation…

Here’s the problem: it’s $300k more expensive than the Koenigsegg Gemera, which does not stick to any of the agreed-upon laws of physics or automobile engineering. 2 million bucks for a re-skinned Continental. Mansory would’ve built you this for 250 grand - in carbon fiber - and let you keep a roof. 

I’m glad there’s going to be choice in the market. I hope it means there’s going to be money on the hood of this or the Bronco sooner than later. Jeep has had a monopoly in this segment for years and their reliability is still questionable - hell, I’d trust a new Defender to get me home vs a new Jeep. Toyota is an…

Right?? I was prepared to roll my eyes but... it’s tastefully done. Though I am not seeing ~$550,000 in build-costs. For those on a budget, the winch bumper can be bought for your pedestrian G63 from Lennartz Technik for about a grand. 

So many tires! 

The tiny windshield in a new Tahoe makes it feel like you’re driving an armored truck or MRAP. It’s a very strange brand characteristic! 

driver-centric interiors are pretty awesome in cars that are meant to be driven

Brett, go to San Antonio and buy this Porsche Racing Green 997.2!. It fits 3 kids. Hell, my roommate in college had a 997 and it fit 7 in a pinch. This is one your favorite kid could keep for the rest of their life.

Just roll with it. Capital-T-Turbo is a trim level. A base 911 has a turbo on the engine, but they still make a Turbo model. So it’s all in the capitalization; also ignore that it’s written on the trunk in cursive with a lowercase T.

It’s called Crayon overseas but in North America it’s called Chalk. Which isn’t any more logical. Toyota has the good sense to call their cool lookin’ gray “Concrete.”

I hate that this happened in Canada rather than say, Texas, where he would be thrown under the jail for the foreseeable future. I also wish the interviewer would have asked “have you ever been diagnosed with a personality disorder & what do your parents think of your repeated stupid antics?”.

His real estate portfolio is (was) as crazy as any character he’s played. He owned 3 houses in New Orleans. One, the LaLaurie Mansion, is extremely creepy/haunted, which is probably why he never spent the night there. 

Or he took this part because he was homeless. 

Brunei is 4,000 miles from the Middle East.
