Hmm. I can only use a small minority of earbuds, because any others make my ears hurt like crazy within a short time. And I'm definitely a guy, and not a small one—6'2" and built like a tank.

It's also far greener and prettier in Chris Harris's recent video:

While you're feeling generous...the grey box is pretty depressing for a ten-times-daily Jalop addict.

I'm pretty sure this would be along the lines of matching up the GPS locations to known roads/terrain.

I'm sorry. The Starliner and that Hupmobile are lovely, and I can even see the attraction of the Avanti, but this right here is an ugly car.

Possibly because the experience of driving a GT-R in a video game is so close to the real experience?

// I kid, there are reasons to like some Nissans, but 148 different variants is a little much.

I'm totally torn between the Jaguar E-Type, the Aston Martin Vanquish V12, and the Jaguar XJ220. My favourite classic, modern GT, and supercar. I just wish they had some classic Astons, the DB5 at least—and a C-Type/D-Type would be fun too. EDIT: And why leave off the Jaguar F-Type, in any possible universe?

_NO_ classic Aston's? The Jaguar lineup is pretty decent, but they need a few more Newport Pagnell products...


I'm stunned no-one's mentioned the Apollo GT. Although not a purely American car (chassis and drivetrain from America, coachbuilt by Intermeccanica in Italy, returned to America for final assembly and sales), it was an American entrepreneur's project, and considered the American GT competitor to the Jaguar E-Type, the

Where's the lead photo taken? Is it NC 86 outside of Danville, VA on the way to Yanceyville, NC? I just drove through there Sunday night (in a significantly less awesome car)...

Same for the highway between Saskatchewan and Regina, which I drove both directions last February. A lot of very wide and plain highway, no great deal of traffic, and except for the snow could have been easily 90+...

Totally! Get a good raw bratwurst, cook it properly OR grill it, serve with Bavarian sauerkraut (sweet, with caraway seeds) and a proper stone-ground mustard. Beautiful. Bun optional.

Or, you know, if you're going to get precooked bratwursts, at least go to Aldi's and get some of the tasty little Nuremberger

Oh the heartbreak. So beautiful, so sad. Not to mention this DB6:

Or...there was a dust storm. Not saying I'd leave my XJ220 outside if I had one, but I also don't live in a place that has next to no moisture (so not much in the way of rust), even if it has occasional and sudden sand/dust storms.

Looks like UP (Union Pacific) livery. Those big plains freight trains are what the Big Boy steam locomotives were built for—without major grades for hundreds of miles, ultra-heavy long-haul trains are in their native environment.

Not quite. Purchasing Power Parity is not quite that high, the standard of living is typically lower even at similar integer levels of income. No, it's not quite as bad as an American living in Britain (ask me how I know) but they aren't all making 1.5-1.6 times what we are...

I have no desire to own or drive one myself, but a friend does have a GS of this vintage. And it is a comfortable car, and one with nice textures, but pretty blah. Luxury without any of the style or interest, nothing more than a very 'nice' people-mover.

Yes! I was just going to go find and post this!
