Bumblebee was super cute.

It’s more the gratuitous “ooooh look it’s an AUDI but this isn’t a commercial really wink wink hey you like this AUDI” filming that they used - made sure to get plenty of pretty shots of the logo, the name, and the car.  I just don’t like being tricked, which is all product placement really is - tricking me into…

Am I the only one who finds this kind of product placement deceptive and distasteful? LOOK, IRON MAN DRIVES AN AUDI. DON’T YOU WANT TO BE COOL LIKE IRON MAN? No, I’d rather just watch this movie, and not be tricked into thinking a surreptitious Audi commercial is part of said movie.

Having driven the Civic SI, the only thing I would caution is that it’s not for tall people. I’m 6'0, and my head hit the ceiling unless I leaned the seat way back. Then again, with a current daily driver as tiny as an MG, I’m guessing this guy isn’t very tall...

Seconded.

Someone who starred this is named “My car smells like crayons.”  You have a mid-2000s VW, don’t you?  It’s apparently something to do with a wax sealant used to prevent rusting.  When it gets hot, it melts a little, which causes the smell.  We have a 2004 Beetle convertible that smells like that.  

Hey, this Vespa-riding bearded Portlander...resembles that remark.  But yes, I want one.  

Funny, I found the Genesis Coupe’s backseat even more restrictive than the BRZ’s. I tried to get back into the Genny’s backseat and found I had to tilt my head about 45 degrees to get under the roof, and even then, there was literally no space for my legs even with the front seat all the way forward (I’m 6 feet tall).…

Yeah I suppose if there’s nobody else in the car other than the driver, a huge dog could fit in there. I mean, I’ve put a gangly 6 foot teenager in the back of it with a slightly shorter teenager in the front seat. That mostly worked, although my front seat passenger was basically sitting in the glovebox.  

I own a BRZ. No 140 pound German Shepherd is fitting into that thing.

I feel like the answer is some kind of Subaru, no? 

Came here to say this. I use Curb and it works well. And it gives me a TAXI. You remember when there were these signs up at LaGuardia with these shifty looking dudes on them offering you a ride? And the sign was all “only use designated taxis?” Uber and Lyft ARE THOSE SHIFTY LOOKING DUDES.

Butterscotch implies dairy - could one perhaps use a milk-free dark chocolate chip instead?  I think that’d be killer.  

I’m just...going to go throw up about something else...

Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don’t care, I’m still free,
You can’t take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black,
Tell them I ain’t comin back.
Burn the land and boil the sea,
You can’t take the sky from me.

There’s no place, I can be,
Since I’ve found Serenity.

And you can’t take the sky…

You can’t take the sky from me.

I almost bought one, but I dunno, sure it has a lot of power, but it doesn’t put it down well. I think it’s because the Genny coupe is so damned heavy, and it has such a vague transmission. I felt like it was a lot of sound and fury, signifying very little.

Hey, guess what? I can do those things with an actual taxi. https://mobileapp.gocurb.com/

While I love Mayor Pete and plan to vote for him in the primary, I have to correct your article. He’s not the second openly LGBT person to run for President. He’s the third. You probably forget (or never knew) that David McReynolds, a gay antiwar activist, ran a quixotic campaign for the Socialist Party in 2000. Was…

Yes, that was the joke I was making.
