Pity they don’t have the Tumbler from the Nolan movies, but I guess you can’t have everything.

No, sorry, there are loads of middlemen that add no additional value to the consumer. Realtors top the list, but there are also insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, recruiting agencies ...

Wow! Go treat yourself! The best fast-food class burgers available. Head and shoulders above Wendy’s, which is the next best option.

We’ve got a 944, been sitting in the garage since my Dad died. He always said it was a Porsche made with everything they could grab from the VW parts bin. Other than the engine and the drivetrain, it pretty much is. A front engine, rear drive Porsche (basically a Porsche version of the Toybaru) shouldn’t cost too much

I remember reading a magazine review of the first Honda CRX, and they compared the speed, handling and price to the Fiero. The result was the comment that Pontiac should put a V6 in the Fiero and move it upmarket fast, because the CRX beat it in every category. I bought a CRX two years later. 

What the hell has happened to Honda engines? I remember a time when Williams and McLaren ran Honda turbos and everyone else just ate dust.

Cel-E-ka or CEL-ik-a?

No, they should be racing in corrupt-ass USA, instead.

I have a friend who used to be a Ford exec. He got a new Ford every 2 years, and would defend them to the ends of the Earth, even if it was a complete POS, like the Merkur Xr4Ti.

Including housing, it seems.

Never say never. I’m currently driving a ‘14 FRS, before that I had an ‘03 WRX. But before that I lived in Seattle, was making good money, and skiing a lot, so I bought a ‘98 RX300. It was terrific in the snow. There are use-cases for SUVs, and I found one.  

Well, yeah, but I hear fuel costs are a bummer.

The real joke is that they were, at the beginning. They had to go begging for investors for Iron Man, hired Downey because he was considered cheap and washed up, and took a risk on Favreau because he had only made a couple of movies prior to Iron Man, and they weren’t big hits, and cut corners with the budget wherever

C-? You’re being far too generous. This was crap TV from beginning to end. It made no sense whatsoever. I stuck with it in the vain hope that the kid hating doctors was a plot twist that a doctor would discover he was an alien trying to take over the world. At least that might have been clever.

Yeah, right. They’re messing with you. Listen to the directors’ commentaries on the DVDs sometime. They talk about how much the actors own the characters and how much input they have on their performances. Downey ad-libed a lot of Iron Man because the script wasn’t finished. He supposedly knows that character better

It’s a seven-speed dual-clutch. Could be a lot of fun.

There’s also a version with a turbo. I wonder if it has a stick.

Pretty sure the French lost Vietnam, as well. Vietnam was a very long war.

How the living fuck did you ever get out of the greys?

You do realize that you all (as in ‘American Taxpayers’) are paying for this, right?
