We like to pretend that baggage which is part of the Cadillac experience is in the distant past, and yet here we are. It’s like some sort of MAGA wet dream. Just disgusting.

Just a mere 5 seconds of the trailer for the most recent cash-grab Terminator movie was enough to put me off it...

I was surprised how funny and what great insights Culkin has... seems like fame didn’t ruin him at all. 

Yup! The revised grill is the major story here. Praise Jebus, it seems Aston Martin can actually take criticism and respond like a mature company.

Your mom also had a rough opening this weekend.

The way you do it is this: Post an unedited in-car video to prove the time and distance covered, and don’t hurt yourself patting your own back, because it’s just a dumb number that has devolved into near meaninglessness. This is how Porsche, et al deal with the circus. 

I’m just loving that particular shade of blue.

Thanks for this... I read her back in school and recently rediscovered The Ballad of the Sad Café. 

I lost all respect for Ferrari back when they blacklisted one of the most respected automotive journalists (Chris Harris) because he wouldn’t lick their boots.

Indeed. It is cringey. And many boomers still have not learned this lesson.

Out here in Colorado we play a game after every snow storm: It’s called Find the Jeep Driver in the Ditch.

Working Girl is the sassy sister film to Die Hard. Everybody knows that. 

Re: ‘Occasionally, The Rhythm Section offers us glimpses of these happier times in flashbacks that are filmed with Penthouse-ian quantities of hazy lens diffusion to distinguish them from the movie’s otherwise gloomy palette: The Patricks live in their showroom kitchen and living room in Stephanie’s memory, everyone…

It would be nice if Ferrell decided to grow a too-bushy beard before doing these types of movies. We’d have fair warning from the get-go then.

Just curious... what part of the country was your old house in?

I’m a Colorado resident and the assault / rape that happened here (and was then left unprosecuted for - uh - reasons) made a ton of press, and I read all about it. (Colorado is a professional sports Mecca, by the way, so we’re used to reading / hearing stories about John Elway’s son losing his temper, NBA players…

I read King’s editorial this morning, and it makes some great points, but he doesn’t go far enough.

I’ve got maybe 50 or 60 old issues of Autocar and Motor lying around in the basement. Like this one, the advertisements you find in them are just the best...
