I can’t decide how I feel about this, but the one thing it has convinced me of is that, 60 years from now, there’s going to be a lot of polished up beige Camrys at car shows, and I really can’t decide how I feel about that.

This is awesome! As a Mustang nerd, I’ve always been fascinated by the story of Little Red, and a bit bummed out that it had supposedly been crushed. I’m very glad to see that’s not the case. Here’s hoping it gets the full restoration it deserves!

That’s a great quote!

I hope it does cause him physical pain. He deserves it.

The Fast & The Furious: New York Drift

I don’t mind the inclusion of a giant cheese grater - as far as I’m concerned, all cars should come with that. But why have the mounted it on the front?

All I can see is a place to put two Knight Rider scanner lights.

Easy for Jezza to say when he’s basically had life handed to him on a silver platter. I like Top Gear (and, to a lesser extent, The Grand Tour) but I mostly watch it for Hammond, May and the cars. Clarkson is an arrogant old fart.

Agreed on the Clarkson thing. I like May and Hammond (mostly), but Clarkson always just seemed totally full of himself and rather stupid. And I get that he was playing a “character”, but it seems he’s a lot like his character in real life. All three hosts just played exaggerated versions of their own personalities.

Thoroughly entertaining as usual. The “Tinder for cars” one might actually work, honestly.

Wow, that was...violent. Way too violent for a 90 minute movie. I could barely sit through 5 minutes of it.

While I love the idea of an entire movie done in POV, the premise of Hardcore Henry is just way too violent and gruesome for my taste. I haven’t seen the movie, but I just now watched the music video that inspired it (posted below by Yes I drive a 240... Sort of) and that 5 minutes was more than enough.

It’s a Leaf, and surprisingly, that’s actually the correct way to slow down traffic in an emergency. CHP does it that way as well.

Hard to tell, but from the visible sliver of the hood, it looks red to me. And not a particularly bright red, either - it’s a Nissan Leaf (instantly recognized the dash because I drive one too), and in the US, this is the only shade of red that generation came in. Not exactly high-visibility, especially in that…

Shout out to the dash cam folks - hello, fellow Leaf drivers! Also, congratulations on saying “oh my gosh” more times in a row than anyone has in history, ever. I have a weird urge to remix it into a song.

I’ve been going down this rabbit hole for years, and even contributed to it a bit myself. When you don’t have the money or resources to tinker with real cars, you could do a lot worse than tiny electric ones (or gas, if you’re into that).

Nice truck, but I still think Ranger is the wrong name for it. This isn’t a compact pickup - it’s a midsize pickup.

Yeah...no. It might be big and heavy, but it won’t absorb an impact like a modern car will. If you hit anything, the “crumple zone” is going to be you.
