The top 10 of the 1996 box office (Twister ranked #2) included a remake of a 60's TV show, two remakes of a 60's movie, a remake of a 50's TV movie, two novel adaptations, and a remake of a French film that was an adaptation of a stage play.

Neither a Porsche expert nor a LeMans expert, but is there anything that’d make the GT3 Cup faster than the RSR? Best RSR in 2023 did 312 laps, the winning 917 did 343 - I’m not sure there are enough track changes to make up that difference.

I’m not going to judge needing a minivan, but from when my son was born until next week, our sole family car has been a Mazda2. The CX-5 that’s going to replace it is going to feel cavernous.

FWIW, of the recalls we’re currently tracking at work, a third of them are rear camera related. That’s likely what’s driving a bunch of the increase, and while it’s an annoyance to have to deal with, most people would react by, you know, turning their heads and looking behind them.

And there’s still old guys afraid of fuel injection.

Wait, there was a PHEV XLR? I mean, that sounds about right for GM, doing boldly absurd yet still obscure moonshots just before bankruptcy.

And big! I have one kid. I’m only ever going to have one kid. I don’t need something with more space than a Manhattan apartment. Smaller crossovers are big enough, but the sliding doors and trading a bit more interior space for ground clearance would be nice.

I could easily see the argument for pulling over some of the S-Type R components to make it more of a GT car than a cruiser (and I think supercharging is something Ford toyed with). Still, with the DEW platform, it was never going to be a true sports car (how much of the ~3900lbs curb weight could be easily shaved…

This is super important - even if realistically they’re not likely to own it long enough to have to worry about getting a teenager in the third row, they should still try renting a bigger 3 row SUV (probably a Telluride or a Buick Enclave), just to see the absolute best case scenario before going full Suburban. I…

How picky is Honda about imported vehicles? The Canadian market Accord Hybrid gets a heated steering wheel, and it looks like CDN pricing is a few hundred bucks better after conversion.

I find it strange the RAV4 and Sienna didn’t make the list when so many other Toyotas did.

Finally got around to watching the Durango Hellcat’s Will It Rally a couple days back, and he was pretty complementary for how well something weighing nearly 3 tons and with just an obscene amount of power handled.

Should’ve tried a Ranger Splash.

On one hand, that’s the easiest bet imaginable. On the other hand, it could be something relatively stupid and benign like the wrong rear camera view display shows by default (a really common recall across all OEMs currently), or problems with the instrument cluster or something. Annoyances, but not something that’ll…

The issues mentioned with Keflavik aren’t wrong exactly (flown through twice, before and after the expansion) - it’s still not quite sized or laid out for having like a dozen 757's full of North Americans dropped on them at once, but it’s quite nice otherwise.

That generation came out when I was in kindergarten. I consider myself middle-aged. At this point, it’s hung on so long I want the option of one as a hearse.

100% this - a base Grand Wagoneer is about $15k more than a base Yukon Denali, and the five figure discounts getting dumped on the Wagoneer sort of back that up.

Is the catch that because they used a ‘Cuda, you’re actually only getting Fillet O’Fishes?

I like this proposal, in that it allows for at least one more autism-spectrum depiction, that while Gregory is perhaps a little more conventionally autism-coded, bringing in someone else can also be an opportunity to show the breadth of the spectrum.

I think every time I’ve flown through Billy Bishop, my flight home has been severely delayed or cancelled (been stranded overnight in Newark twice because of that). Pearson isn’t great, but it’s at least marginally more functional.
