So does the marketing of the vehicle have any play when manufacturers/dealers try to deny a claim by calling it abuse? Is “abuse” different when comparing a sports car to, say, a Prius? Revving a performance vehicle is more of an expectation than it is with a base econobox, and the marketing by the manufacturers…

I got that beat. . . I got that beat.

I hereby renounce my previous opinion that Presidential debates are of no value whatsoever. As long as they keep those two busy giving each other wet willies on Twitter, they will be too busy to write actual columns.

It is like playing political Mad Libs. Just fill in the blank with the goofy candidate of your choice, and no one will question it.

He didn't?

Here is what they really should have said to owners:

The best advice that I can give after having lived in Deer Country for my entire life is to lean on the horn at the slightest hint that there may be an animal, any animal, off the side of the road. That will not help you when they materialize in front of your car, of course, but if you have even a moment’s warning,…

The colour of my car says, “I am a sucker who pays extra for the premium paint option, even when it is a colour that I would normally not get caught dead in.”

Just look at the Focus ST and Fiesta ST (my wife owns the Focus ST, I have the Fiesta ST), they have tremendous torque down low (~2000 RPM) but they definitely tend to run out of breath by 6000+ RPM.

My wife runs marathons, and I edit videos together afterwards to commemorate the events. For one of the Med City Marathons in Rochester, I used the first part of “Wake Up” at the beginning, switched to “No Cars Go” for the body of the race, and then finished “Wake Up” at the end. It is the single best-scored video…

Saw them live on the Reflektor tour, and they were very, very good.

The Arcade Fire was made for driving to.

“How was your lamb?”

I have not watched it in a while, but I do not think so. There is nothing around Fort Knox other than Fort Knox. Would not be any civilians. (Though Leiter was among the soldiers.)

No. Dr. Pepper makes the best pulled pork. Forget colas. Dr. Pepper, a little balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper, and a long, slow cooking, and you have pulled pork gold.

“One of”? OHMSS definitively IS the best score in the entire series. Goldfinger may be the definitive Bond song, but the main title theme from OHMSS is arguably the best piece of music in the entire series — and the rest of the score is equally good. (Save perhaps for “Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown.” The…

That moment during the pre-credit sequence when Bond unzips his wetsuit and he has a full (dry) tux underneath is the moment that I mentally check out for the rest of the film. I mentioned this to you in one of your previous recaps, but while it is undisputable that Goldfinger set the model for most of the rest of the…

Bond convinced Pussy (I cannot believe I just typed those words) to switch out the gas for something fake, and that was coordinated with the government, who were just pretending that it worked to lure Goldfinger in. The issue with the way that the scenes were filmed is that everyone just falls to the ground the…
