I’d bet a $1,000 that an F-Type would be more reliable than a contemporary Corvette. Easily.

It’s like the AVClub is daring us to drop it.

That headline removes all the intended nuance and context from the word in question.

Agreed. Ferrari is struggling to find a design language. The mid-engine Corvette made a pastiche of every supercar cliche, and now Ferrari et al have to stop regurgitating trends.  

I’m about done with The Atlantic.

I guess the AVClub is going with the idea that it’s problematic that this genius has an opinion on a topic he is an absolute expert in, something-something, eye-roll, he didn’t see the films in question, never mind that all evidence points to his exact conclusion?

You are so tantalizingly close to understanding the point being made by Vargas2022, and yet - “woosh.” 

I’m guessing we’re not getting reasonable pictures of the offense in question because the author has not seen the car in person. And all of this concern trolling is based on generic pictures found online that make the reader go - whatever - about the ‘problem’.

The BMW Z3 will forever be the car that made it clear just how awful product placements in movies could be.

Thanks to 8th grade biology and a lifetime of British car shows I can only agree.

Last time I saw Dax Shepard in a role was that paint-by-numbers CHiPs remake, which relied on constant gay panic jokes and “Oh, aren’t fat people gross?!?” humor.

Yup, Jewel seems like a great person, but I was wondering about that description too...especially since her most (only) famous song seems like a retread of that dippy Chevy Van track from the 70's.

But Twister gave us this gem: “We all started out working in the same lab, but Jonas went out and got some corporate sponsors. He’s in it for the money not the science.”

Indeed.  There’s a story to be told behind that decision. And it’s not the kind that makes you say, “Oh, sure.  That makes sense.”

Driving / tracking a 200-mph-capable car that some other person built is a serious leap of faith. I’ve picked up cars from otherwise decent mechanical shops that literally had the wheels fall off because someone didn’t do their job correctly.

One thing about this: It was helpful to know that showing up for work on time is a feat worthy of mentioning in a rapist-but-nice-guy character reference letter.

A friend of mine bought a hardtop Mondial with the 4-valve engine and I got to flog it around Denver late at night years ago. My only Ferrari experience and it was wonderful.

Car and Driver’s test of the early versions of Ghibli should be required reading if you’re tempted by one of these. They found a LOT of caveats:

Indeed. Of course, there is an army of staff supporting him. And they are having to be twice as effective as otherwise, just to limp the show to its very modest goals.
