Good article, and great points. When we got a new car at the start of the year (Audi SQ5), I specified these dog gates. They were relatively inexpensive, at around £200 ($250) for the set.

Porsche Macan is based on the Audi SQ5. I went with the cheaper option (which is faster than the Porsche, anyway)

Wow - imagine living in Monte Carlo and driving *that* - you think he also has a Bentley and a 911 in the garage?

Ah! Thanks for that - I had done a quick google, which was what turned up 58HP, which surprised me as I was sure it had more than that! Cheers

Nah - what you wanted was the Austin 1300 GT

Have you seen a starling that’s been through a Rolls Royce turbofan? I bet it looks more like a roast pheasant than a starling :)

I agree with your scepticism regarding warning the birds off. If I’m number 873 in a flock of 1,000 starlings and I look up to see a 777 heading toward me at 500MPH with a 4" swirly thing, the very last thing I’m going to think is “Fu...!” before I become roast pheasant.

Oooookaaayyy... still comes across as a tool, though

Spat wine on keyboard. Shall I pm you my address so you can send me a replacement laptop?

Perhaps I’m not as much Jalopnik as I thought I was, but I’ve never heard of these guys, and I have no idea why the world cares about their spat.

Wow.

Agree with most of that and, although I avoided episodes two through *the-end* of the Chris Evans version, I’m looking forward to seeing what the season is like.

It honestly amazes me that people think this *isn’t* going to happen when you apply 1-2 tons of pulling pressure, at speed, to a chunk of plastic and sheet metal.

I was on an American flight a few months ago, watching “We’re the Millers” for the 119th time on my 7" tablet. There’s no, well not much, nudity - there’s a strangely unsexy Jennifer Aniston (clothed) poledance, and then the young guy’s swollen nutsack (he was bitten by a tarantula) but nothing especially visibly…

A ton of fun! Only about 55MB to download and, while the graphic map designer is a little crude, gameplay is superb. Really fast!

Booooo!!

Opening night tonight, I’m 4,621 miles from home (Utah to Scotland) and I happily went and bought a ticket and a hotdog.

Funnily enough, I had remembered the quote as being 30MPH and was surprised when my first internet dig (couldn’t be assed looking any further) stipulated 20MPH.

I think that hanging out the window was all of the problem, possibly combined with being a short-ass. I suspect he was further back from both the throttle and the clutch than he needed to be with his butt out of the seat so it was just a lack of control and rear-wheel-drive car that was more powerful than he was used…

In 1830, at least one person thought that we would asphyxiate if we were subjected to speeds of more than 20 MPH.
