Mmmm, I think that was listed in the catalog as “Warm Pus”

Of course, this scene always gets a chuckle out of me. They are in a sealed submarine, yet when the car pops out onto the beach at the Cala di Volpe Hotel in Sardinia, he puts the window down and drops the fish on the beach. Uh, how did the fish get into the sub? I know, silly me, it’s a Bond-flick, just go with it,

“The Audi A7, 20 years too soon.” -

The successors would have sold better, but now the exclusivity is intentional: Audi brought in only 2,000 B7 RS4’s, and less than 1,500 TT-RS’s. Both had only a 2 year run (2007-8 for the RS4, 2012-13 for the TT RS) I live in South Florida, one of the world capitals for exotic cars, and I have seen exactly one other

I’m in the travel business, and for me, $100-200 to change a name on a ticket is beyond ludicrous.

Exactly. Don’t want people to recline? Don’t make the seats reclineable! Doesn’t take much. I don’t give anyone shit if they recline in front of me, and I expect the same if and when I do.

But in the context of when those movies were made, it is perfectly acceptable. It’s only campy when viewed with a 21st century lens. Practically every action/adventure movie back then was like that, you need go no further than Bond movies of that era.

I would have been curious how McKenna would have compared it to Grand Prix which came out in 1966. The parallels are there, in that Jim Garner turned out to be a hell of a good driver in his own right, and they featured a lot of professional drivers, and Frankenheimer was brilliant with the close ups and split

She could’ve been, she had one of the bad Southern accents. She looked like she just left the set of Real Housewives of _______ (insert the name of your favorite podunk southern town here).

Ah yes, “Bentayga” should roll so mellifluously off the tongues of its owners in New Jersey, Boston, and Long Island. Like the time I ran into a woman at the wonderful Christophorus Restaurant at the Porsche Museum, who told me she was there with her husband to take delivery of their new Macan Turbo. She prononced

Please, please, PLEASE tell me that “Hongqi” is pronounced “honkey”, because that would make it much much funnier to think that the Chinese leader is riding around in some Honkey Limousine.

But which variant? Is it an S, 4S, GTS, Hybrid, Turbo, or Turbo S?

It’s a good looking car, and the sound brings back so many memories. I remember when I took delivery of my Milano (75 for the European crowd) Verde 3.0 back in the late 80’s. I nearly spun it leaving the dealer as I had been driving a VW Scirocco until that point, and wasn’t ready for 185 hp delivered to rear wheels

I was hoping (still am) that they would build the El Miraj, I thought that thing was gorgeous.

Um, the article says it is a *trial* where they are doing this with 100 cars. So that’s $1500 X 100 = $150,000. Over 18 months. They obviously want to see if this will work before actually implementing it on a larger scale. The larger scale will most likely not involve any momney whatsoever. It’s being given out now

Hasn’t Ferrari done that passenger mini-display thing before? I remember seeing it somewhere, I’m sure someone will chime in with a picture in 3, 2, 1...

OK, I have no idea what “Slosh del;ay” is, but I do know that IWANTITINMYCARANDIDONTGIVEASHITWHATITDOES!

WHAT? For that kind of coin, I would have expected the airbag in a LaFerrari to be made of suede made from lambs who were massaged and raised on a villa in Costa Smeralda.

Even in the 80’s, you could never justify using a real Daytona. Even back then they were commanding big bucks, I mean, just look at the thing, it’s frickin’ gorgeous. No movie uses the real thing, take the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds with Nick Cage, where they featured the ‘67 Mustang fastback that they said was a

I love that show, and his character was fantastic. Tres commas FTW!
