The Veyron never was a looker, but my, that design has not aged well. The interior is fine, but the exterior, and especially the wheels, do not look like a million bucks. 

Specifically the Land Cruiser Prado. Those things are EVERYWHERE. I have never been to a country where some variation of it wasn’t available or popular-ish.

Great off-road, great on-road, reliable, durable, and spares should be available everywhere. Thoroughly modern too.

Now playing

The best worst car show was VIPER. A shameless ripoff of Knight Rider? Check. A shameless plug for the (then) new Dodge Viper? Check.

12-year old me LOVED it.

The Z3 would have got more screen time if BMW hadn’t delivered it late, but good for us because we got the tank chase scene instead.

I salute this article.

In a movie festering with product placement, iRobot was the opposite of subtle or organic with its Audi tie-ins.
