Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, when Saturn and Scion were alive, you could spec a car online, walk into a dealership and say “I want this”. I think I recall them call it “pure pricing”. Car buying was no different than ordering a computer, other than the tag, along with other state and federal fees.

I understand your anger but if you gave up on every news outlet that gets Community Notes on X, all that you’re left with reading is Wikileaks - since everyone else will spin a story to protect their version of the Narrative. Wikileaks has never printed a lie (notice how Gizmodo doesn’t defend Assange).

As a fan from the Tom Baker era, I kinda gave up. All the retcons just got to be too much. For me, they could have ended everything after introducing John Hurt as the War Doctor. That’s about the time I tuned out.

I hear ya. I’ve had several aging, out-of-shape friends over the years suddenly decide to skydive (out of a perfectly good airplane), do the polar bear challenge (but not great swimmers), and/or enter a warrior dash (though they never slogged through mud nor crawled under barbed wire before). They’re looking for a…

Makes no sense to me why the States can’t have votes to see if people are willing to give up part of their 9A rights then pass that authority on to the Feds to implement speed governors - kinda like they did with that abysmal Daylight Savings Time nonsense.

“Called Squid Game: The Challenge, contestants previously claimed that the British reality competition series was rigged, with former participants seeking legal action against the show’s producers for unsafe working conditions.”

no, No, NO! Stop making sense!

“the SuperStation”, Ted Turner’s WTBS in ATL showed these repeatedly. I too remember many of these films fondly. Very little kid me had to be reassured that the Smog Monster/Hedorah wasn’t real but Godzilla was a dinosaur! Yep, my parents used Godzilla as a gateway to all things dinosaur. Imagine my disappointment…

Elon not pandering to that particular crowd is no different than any politician who is not on teleprompter - like Biden’s numerous guffaws or Nikki Hailey’s assertion that there should be no anonymity on the internet.

Ok, Gaza is the hot topic at the moment. I get it. People want to help Gaza and stop any more needless deaths as Israel once again responds to rocket attacks with perceived brutality. ‘War is Hell’ according to USA Gen. U.S. Grant, and that never seems to change.

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.

Years ago, NHL Centre Ice allowed you to view TV ads from other cities - including Canada. One Canadian drug ad had a mom giving her teenage son high-end, over-the-ear headphones. Another ad showed a teenage boy in the basement playing video games and loud rock music when (presumably) dad comes down the steps to turn…

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.

“In the last five years, MAPPA’s output has ranged from two shows to five or six at most.”
