Oh, c’mon haters.
But I do want to offer this:
If you’re gonna display your car, display your car.
I’m thinking some kind of a rotating rotisserie kind of thing, where you can spin the whole car around, upside down, I mean, so you can admire all the under bits.
If you’re claiming your car is a Rothko and you’re not…
I want to say Chrysler PT, but as I look at photos to add (which you can’t do anymore on Jalopnik, is no one working on fixing the code?) I might be wrong. Is it the precursor to the Murano convertible, or a cheeky runabout?
6'6" here. The NC Miata is the only one I get in and out and safely drive. C’est la vie.
Not gonna lie. Getting in and out of my Miata is the worst thing about it.
I sold my Elise and got a Miata because it was easier to get in and out of.
“1. A story guy, not a data guy. A story guy doesn’t care what’s true or accurate, he just loves a good story.”
“But it’s not that hard to get out of. But you need to develop a different technique.”
Thank you, both of you. I was thinking the same - fat old people are often the only ones who can afford a (new) 2 seater sports car as a secondary or tertiary ride.
But that doesn’t mean that the Miata has to change. Bought one for my wife as her first car, a beater - sure, but it was still fun, and she loved it until…
Coming from also an owner: I know. It was a joke. I have zero issue getting in and out. My wife who has had back fusion surgery has zero issues. My S2000? She hates getting in or out. Elise? Even worse.
Answer: Get in and don’t get out.
What is with all the hate? These guys are pioneers and haven’t been matched by any of the other hosts that followed on TG. They have a chemistry that just works. The last episode (Euro Crash) was quite good. How can you not find them going through the wax museum and cracking up at the exhibits funny? Or the…
“Define what you mean by soul.”
Exactly this. You’re not going to eat a piece of cake because it looks like the last piece of cake you ate? This episode will be full of tired, regurgitated jokes and it’ll still be entertaining and f-ing hilarious.
It appears to have everything you’d expect from a “Grand Tour” special but doesn’t exactly give you much of a reason to watch.
Clarkson’s Farm is exactly that! And it’s brilliant because of the other people in it. Caleb is a genuinely wonderful guy and I can probably forgive all of Clarkson’s other foibles for the fact that he introduced him to the world.
No one can keep going forever, but I do find the Grand Tour, Clarkson’s Farm, and James May’s “Our Man In...” series by far the only watchable programming on Prime. They should throw more money at them to make content because Prime’s other shows and movies aren’t worthy of Hallmark-channel’s discount bin.
As far as the Jag? VERY nice kitty but these exotics have high vet bills and I don’t have the patience or the pet insurance. ND.
The price on their website is at just under $24K
I quite enjoyed a few of the non-CHM episodes, but a lot of the personality pigeonholing (such as predictably and aggressively cutting Chris Harris off at the legs in every competitive scenario) became too much of an ongoing gag that just wasn’t funny. The Hammond jokes worked because they’d make them, but then ease…
