My ultimate man cave garage.  A Chrysler Turbine car on one side, and the George Barris’ Batmobile on the other side.  Ah the 60's...

That demolition video brought tears and now I want to die. These cars are so cool and also sparked my appreciation for the designs of Elwood Engel.

If the new owner doesn’t drive straight to Jay Leno’s garage and demand a drag race, then I quit.

If Jay Leno would just dial back the amount of Jay Leno in Jay Leno’s Garage...

That scrapyard video is terrifying.

These cars are super cool from not only an engineering perspective, but also a design perspective. Yeah they have all that retro turbine stuff, but the attention to detail on them is incredible. Highly recommend poking around one if you get the chance.

So... related story... one day a couple of weeks post-Easter many, many years ago (pretty sure I was ten or eleven at the time) I went to my dad and complained that I had a pretty painful ear ache. This was a thing that wasn’t abnormal for me between the ages of three and seven, but ever since I no longer needed to

You’ll shoot your nose out, you’ll shoot your nose out!

I’d vote for you, but only if that was your entire campaign.

2001, drunk in a karaoke joint somewhere in Tokyo, singing the theme song from “Mach A Go Go”. There is video of this somewhere. Just one more reason I avoided a career in politics.

LOL. I used to love Speed Racer when I was a kid, though I know nothing about real racing.

Now playing

I’m embarrassed to say, despite being a massive anime fan, I’ve never actually watched Speed Racer. Though, I will say, Dexter’s Laboratory’s parody of Speed Racer is one of my absolute favorite segments from that show, ever.

I was laying in my grave and Batman came up to me and brought me back to life. Mannnn...I’m not going to bail you out of all your problems. I threw it on the ground!

I’ll save you 4 hours and just sum up the movie with this:

The bigger overarching theme is that for the first time, society collectively has the power and platform to mock, idolize, expose, shame, condemn, or ruin anyone in a heartbeat.

Kinda, there are a lot of similarities - the plot of Trading Places (or at least the latter half of the movie after Billy Ray and Louis meet up) is that the Dukes are intending to use insider trading via their man Clarence Beeks to corner the market on orange juice (which is illegal). Our protagonists figure this out

Yeah but does the Hyundai have 2 (2!) spoilers? I thought not.

If they didn’t, it was probably the only thing they DIDN’T drink.
