Conical air filters inside those...man, I swear those look like plastic sand buckets. That’s a poor man’s cold air intake.

That’s a good description...I tested out an early Volt and as a city car, it was surprisingly engaging. Torquey AF from a stoplight start or slow roll.

Or I could just watch that clip over and over. 

The only thing I didn’t like about it was the reach to the shifter when I had everything else set right for me. It was a showstopper.

Yeah, if he’s in Warrenton, then he’s got access to lots of fun roads and access to lots of funds to keep it in good shape. I think it’s a NP.

Some of the cast did a livestream chat during the episode premiere and they talked about how Elizabeth knocked out her breakdown scene in two takes. She apparently hopped in there, said “action”, absolutely melted down, got through the take, sniffily said “cut”, then reset and DID IT AGAIN.

Agreed. There’s so much weird and interesting and fun stuff in the movie. 

Small but vocal. LEAVE MY ELEVATOR ALONE.

Here’s what I found to be the weirdest thing:

I find it a little hard to muster enthusiasm for the tone of this article when repeatedly I’m seeing people actively jumping in front of, if not on, cars (police or otherwise) that are literally inching forward or which have a gap to move through right up until someone jumps into its path and then yells about “YOU HIT…

I miss my Integra. I had some of my friends convinced that I didn’t get hit with police radar because the headlights were hidden and the front was stealthy.

The first car that I saw that could clearly be explained by that regulation was the BMW Z4. 

It wasn’t all that hard to figure out exactly where the seller lives using the Craigslist post and Google Maps. He’s also got a BMW 550i, and the Audi and Altima parked curbside are probably his as well. The Mazda is down the street in Google Street View. I’m betting that this guy is one of those dudes who’s really…

Sounds like it should be, even if it wasn’t. But it probably was.

Wish I could remember which auto exec was quoted as saying something about a “condom full of bullshit” when Lexus was waxing poetic about the plaster balloon method way back then...

Those cups...I don’t know where she got them, but a friend of ours got us a half-dozen of those cups, just in a miniature (10oz., I think) size. Same plastic, same texture, just clear instead of red. They’re perfect for kids but I also grab one now and again for a drink, just because of the feel.

Seriously, I’m wondering when “family responsibility” became a controversial objective for character development. 

The bike story made me laugh.

You could probably put the motor behind the passenger cell and all the batteries under the long hood.
