Thanks for all the replies. I’ve passed your thoughts on to my wife. She’s really hesitant about buying a new console for one game - but she did ask for & get a PS3 for Christmas years ago after seeing the Skyrim display at Best Buy... and has not regretted it one bit.

How does Starfield compare to Skyrim? Asking for my wife who has logged literally thousands of hours with various characters in Skyrim, but is a Trekkie at heart - so Starfield seems right up her alley.

“...by God I do love the ‘63 split window.”

Considering the CCP has some lax environmental laws, even more lax labor laws, and fewer ambulance chasers, I can see how VW could make a cheaper EV for that market. It will be interesting to see if any of these new EVs could pass CA regulations (traditionally the most stringent in the US and often the leader in new…

Just when Japan can’t lose any more hope, can’t feel any more despair or anguish... HE shows up to teach where rock bottom truly lies (probably under his foot). I’ve been looking forward to this movie since I saw the trailer on YT a few months ago.

There’s always ‘that guy’ at DragonCon every year who dresses as White Stig - quite a feat considering “some say he’s illegal in 17 US states”, among other things.

Regardless of his politics, Carolla still does a great job covering cars. I dare say he’s as passionate and knowledgeable as fellow celebrity gearhead Jay Leno, and better than Jerry Seinfeld (loved Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee) - both of whom have enviable auto collections.

June 7 in ATL! A Stones event is as much a party as a concert. Jagger is one of the greatest showmen of all time. Right up there with the late great Jimmy Buffett. I will be there.

Ah, you’re what my uncle Herman Cain would call a SINner. When you can’t make a valid point you resort to Switching the topic, Ignoring the facts, and Name calling. Typical troll.

Arguments can be made that replying to a 54 week old comment with a handle like yours cannot be taken seriously whatsoever.

Agreed. Doesn’t matter if they’re MAGA, Bernie Bros, “My Child is an Honor Roll Student at _____”, Peace signs, or even “My Other Car Is A Starship”. More than one sticker in the back glass and/or several bumper stickers of any kind indicates this guy refuses to watch his mirrors at all.

Thanks for the slideshow, Andy. I’m not surprised that “luxury sedan” brands like Merc, Audi, Caddy and BMW make up the bulk of the list - definitely not surprised that Maserati is #1 - but it begs the question:

“...dirtbag former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone..”

Honda Accord: two brothers I knew (mis-)drove the hell out of one. Oil changes? Tire rotations? Fill up the wiper fluid? They knew none of these things. What they knew was Gas and Go! That car lasted 600K and only went through 2 catalytic converters. The rest of the car seemed indestructible.

Any inaugural big city street race will require adjustments by the locals. I remember 2008 when Singapore came back. A night race, tons and tons of brought-in flood lights and their diesel generators, but the locals understood that this would become an annual inconvenience and they’ve persevered. Night racing made…

On the bright side, Twitter/X has never been better! Community Notes is holding ads, many MSM ‘news’ outlets, and even political candidates more honest, if not (at the very least) accountable.

“The Doctor’s Daughter” was a favorite one-off episode of mine - I was hoping for an Honorable Mention. Any hopes of a sequel or even a follow-up line about Jenny gallivanting around the universe as our first female Doctor have gone for naught.

Where’s the love for quirky new shows like Dead Mount Death Play, Reborn as a Vending Machine, or My Unique Skill Makes Me OP at Level 1, or I Got a Cheat Skill In Another World?

I thought Vivek won the debate. He started strong and said some things that appeal to indies and ’small l’ libertarians. Oddly, none of them proposes any means to balance the budget.

Give Shatner some credit. His versions of Golden Earring’s “Twilight Zone”, Pink Floyd’s “Learning To Fly”, and Peter Schilling’s “Major Tom (Coming Home)“ are all as equally atrocious/bad joke funny.
