The in-car of that shot was great.

If you haven’t watched The Gymkhana Files on Amazon Prime already, I highly recommend that you do.

Definitely has that ‘scale model’ look - I’d wager these are not in fact CGI but are fairly intricately designed scale models.

I’m sorry, but I’m 100% certain you are wrong.

You’ve now led me down the rabbit-hole of ‘spruced up’ Beetles that ultimately ended in me finding this ‘Bugster’:

That was my suspicion as well - but I’m hoping it’s not as that’d be a bit of a bummer.

I wonder how the plant sends (or the system recognizes) a ‘stop’ signal to prevent it from crashing into the lamp.

If you’ve not already done so (and have a 3DS or can run Citra on your PC) - you should give Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns a spin as it’s the most recent entry in the series and has generally favorable reviews.

Having worked at Taco Bell for a number of years during high school... making a baby burrito was like second nature! (Plus they smell much nicer)

Several states stand between us and my wife’s ‘65 Chevy Malibu SS. It'd be great to finally have a garage, time, and money to get it at least rolling again someday.

You severely underestimate the entrenched laziness of many Americans. Even if the polling place was in some people’s yard they’d still find an excuse not to make it to vote.

Yeah, when I said ash-spreading was one of the least icky things that go on I really meant it. That one in particular always sticks out in my memories of ‘things you wouldn’t think happen in such a place’ though.
