I tried putting the MAP on Manhatten, clicking the Pacan button, it replied “Pacman can’t play here, not enough roads” clicking the “Feeling Lucky” button, sent the map to Bangkok. Is that the only city this “joke” supports?

It is easy to interpret it as saying "Bye bye. You all did a really good job, please close the door as you leave." There was a little bluster about TopGear continuing but that could refer to a whole new production: new staff and new presenters, not only a new substitute for Jezza.

About time! To eliminate that grumpy old fart, baboon, etc. Whether TGClarkson was actualClarkson or a character he played, the character was pure crup, with no beneficial value. He played the old grump, "Things were better 50 yrs ago, all this newfangled shit is just crap." It's funny the first few times, but he did…

Obviously the dinosaur is a metaphor for TG's Clarkson. He is often referred to by Hammond and May as the "big, violent, ~~~". If tgClarkson is just a character Jeremy plays for the Beeb and Jezza has to leave, I suggest Beeb recruit Basil Fawlty to replace him. Cleese is prolly not too busy these days, and tgClarkson…

I did (miss it)! Good one. *chuckle* *chuckle*

IF the FAA can do that, then outrage will ensue. That pilot did not mark the countryside with his doodle, only when tracked by that wicked radar computer do you see the pattern he flew. If the FAA can take his license for the pattern he flew, then FAA == ThoughtPolice and we be doomed.

Yes. Bostonian-area '08 NC-PRHT here. That last line of yours triggered the warning-man in me. If you are referring to a "softtop" (vinyl, or cloth), you know the manual says to never drop the top below 40F. Even if cloth, cold can brittleize the window and increases risk of damage. Maybe if kept overnight in a heated…

If it was an original Turbo Porsche (with the whaletail et al), I'd give it a shot. But that's much before 2001, so good luck.

Lightning McQueen reminded me of the pair of Miatas in that movie(s): Mia & Tia. [chuckle, chuckle] I haven't yet given my Miata a name. I just call it, "My Precious" [mike drop].

Perpetually, flying cars are claimed to be two years away.

Let me Google that for you:

I'm very proud of my chopstick skills. When I went to Hong Kong (for business), the 'natives' were supremely impressed that I could pick up a peanut from the Kung Pao dish with the chopsticks, and not need a spoon or fork like they expected an American would need. Every restaurant would immediately offer me a fork,…

Sheet over windshield is super unanticipated advice. This many wintered resident in snowblasted New England really appreciated that bit of "hacking". Kitty Litter traction, so obvious. Weight over driving tires, too obvious. But sheet over windshield = clever trick.

The MYTH I heard about him (when I had a 510), was that after Nissan commissioned him to start a new car company, they called him up to ask when his first car would be hitting the market. He calmly replied, "In two weeks". Nissan then replied, "Dat soon?" and so the new, unnamed company got its name. har har har,…

Of course she would not want to be buried in the crashed car, all dented and uglyfied, "Put me in that nice one - my other Favorite Ferrarri!"

To try to telepathically read this douche's mind; I think he was just being overprotective of his Lambo. Since nobody is handicapped and those spaces will remain vacant, [in his mind] he parks right in the middle to ensure a huge buffer zone around his car. I don't think he just wanted to be close to the Target…

Interesting idea, BUT, why redevelop the Horse? or breed a horse ditorted into the shape of a car?

That section of NJ Turnpike (aka I-95) has lanes for Cars-Only, the inside highway, and the outer highway is "All Vehicles". The sliding Truck careened onto the cars-only highway.

yes, talking on the phone is completely different than talking to passengers. Talking on the phone has a strong, psychological, displacement effect. Passenger conversations don't put your mind in displacement mode. Making eye contact is momentary, like reading your speedometer. Phone conversation puts your mind in the…
