    It took longer than usual for the race to start this morning

    ... and here’s the line-ups in the last days of Target in Canada:

    The story goes that they were from a Bova bus. If so, they would already have been homologated, since buses require road-legal lighting just as cars do.

    I was just as surprised that there was such a mint ‘77 Suburban in Germany at all than I was to see it on the ‘Ring.

    I watched the video earlier today, and that comment stood out from the otherwise awesome video.

    I love that literally every single comment so far states that the 12C’s looks are fine or better than the 650S’s.

    You’re not alone. As of the moment I type this, every single comment on this article is stating the same, including me. Several others in Patrick’s article agree.

    Obvious reply: drones come in all sizes and weights. This is a Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk. It has a 130 foot wingspan and a gross weight of 32,250 lbs:

    Neat, but not exactly what I expected.

    *Netflix calls this “Original Programming” but my Google sleuthing shows that it originally aired on Channel 4 in the U.K. Netflix you sit on a crown of lies.

    Thanks for trying, but all I get at your link are back-to-back ads for A&W, then it loads/plays last season’s Jimmy Fallon episode. I tried it three times.

    As a former detailer, I’ve opened the hatch of thousands of different cars. Most either are locked/unlocked along with the main doors, or have an interior release lever or button, including your Blazer example.

    You would’ve hated my old Ranger, then. German engine & a Japanese tranny.

    They were also exposed in the C6, the C5, the C4, and the C3. Unless they start making the body panels out of metal, I don’t see that changing. IMO, hiding the engineering with body coloured stickers is akin to covering the engine with a plastic shroud or painting carbon fibre.

    Your last line sums up my feelings. One of Corvette’s famous features throughout its history are that its body panels are made of fibreglass, plastics, and other composites. Of course they need to be fastened on, and some of those fasteners will be exposed. It’s simply an aspect of its unique engineering.

    This is one of the few Jalop memes that went over my head and stayed there.
