    Huh. We haven’t even figured out good ways to deal with an autonomous vehicle having killed a pedestrian when a driver was in the car, and now this.

    Basically she’s supposed to [be] laying face down. “It’s uniquely challenging, this recovery,” Guthrie told People. “Your body starts hurting in different places, lying down like that.”

    Cool, thanks. You’re in the grays and I’m not? Should be the reverse...

    I’m your average not-too-knowledgeable person who likes cars—and I never even realized there was a 260z between the 240z and the 280z. (Though on reflection, duh. And on Googling, just one model year in the U.S., so defensible, I guess.) Thanks for the edification.

    ... so the drug is to deliver the Dart, rather than vice versa.

    LOL. Okay, now I do know why.

    When I was living in Germany, back in the 1980s, I believe I heard that it was not uncommon for parents to carry insurance on their kids for just such possibilities. I imagine this would not be too popular in the U.S., though I don’t exactly know why.

    Now I want to live in a Miró painting.

    It’s just a personal turn off, especially when appearance begins to dominate a person’s thoughts and lifestyle.

    Version 0, steering-wheel-mounted, did not fare so well.

    Nice.

    Yes. Thanks for the observation/correction. Robocop is a great example, and it suggests many others.

    Not to mention giving only the most superficial treatment of the contrast between rich Wakanda and generally impoverished Africa. That would be a difficult topic to address, something that real “cinema” might take on. Scorsese is right, in general. We have these god-like superheroes in the Marvel universe, and they’re

    My e90, bought used, has a heated steering wheel, which I’ve never had before. It is nice. (Side note: My car also has vinyl seats, and I thought that was unusual--I’d expected a typical buyer first says, “Okay, leather seats,” and then decides to add on other stuff like a heated steering wheel.)

    Excellent story. Thanks!

    Nice.

    Now, see, that makes for a great story, for all the ways it could have gone wrong.

    The only improvement I can think of is to do it between Christmas and New Year.

    Good point, in that cars that “retain their value” is determined by what other people will pay when you sell it—rather than some other independent measure.

    I’m not on a diet, but I’d find it convenient if nutritional packaging could show me a colorful bar or pie chart with fat percentage and calories (% of a nominal 2000, maybe). Of course, there are so many different bits of information to present! And everyone’s interested in a different combination. Sigh. If only we
