I assume $kay has a file of Miata pics ready to go for this crowd.

That was the quattro model!

Nope, you’re right. The dentist’s nickname was “Painless” leading to the double entrendre of the lyric “That suicide is Painless”

Many years ago I was driving home to eastern Pennsylvania from Boston, where I went to school and visited frequently. It was evening on a Sunday and I was coming into Allentown on I-78 in my 1986 CRX Si. I was really low on gas, but I was confident I’d make it to my exit where I got off the highway to head south. I…

“Riker 2: The Rikening”

Thanks to the constantly scrolling article “feature”, this post looked like a comment in the XC40 post. I thought it was a slam of the perky, Millenial-oriented crossover.

Every time I say that in a meeting, nobody get it. Fucking Millenials.

Damn. So good to see him one last time in Twin Peaks, as it was so many of those actors... Miguel Ferrer, Cathine Coulson, Warren Frost, not to mention the archival footage of many others.

I empathize. The E60 makes me physically sick.

He did not design the E39. That was designed by Joji Nagashima and the design was selected before he became design chief.

I’m sort of surprised he didn’t go with Von Trier for this. One of my favorite Colbert jokes was his rebuttal to the Danish Mohammed cartoon incident by showing a cartoon of Von Trier directing “Big Mamma’s House 2".

Welcome to parenthood. Even for fathers, there’s a deep psychological change. Wait until you start having an increased sense of your own mortality, that’s fun too. All that said, it’s been the most incredible experience of my life and I wouldn’t change a thing. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter!

As a parent with a young child, this scene almost soured me on the whole show. This sort of thing is one of a parent’s worst fears. It was absolutely brutal to watch, fiction or not.

Holy crap I forgot that, good catch. He even says the same line “I am the arm and I sound like this”. So the tree is the evolution of the man from another place (who may or may not be Mike’s arm)

I feel like they would be less furry, more squishy.

My first thought. With a woman at the helm of Lucasfilm and a woman lead for the new trilogy, having the acclaimed director of one of this summer’s best (if not THE best) blockbusters seems like the perfect trifecta. Girls can play Star Wars too!!

Lynch’s version of the Ewoks would no doubt have left mental scars on many unsuspecting children.

I second this. My RX100 was the final nail in the coffin for 30 years of SLR/DSLR ownership. I just couldn’t be bothered to carry a full bag of lenses around with me anymore when I could get incredible quality with full manual controls from the RX100. The trouble I have is convincing people that the price is worth it…

Definitely some Stratos in there, but I’m thinking more the prototype than the production car.
