You have TWO Alfas? You are a braver man than I.

And, trying to convince people to buy a car named the Busy Forks is a non-starter. 

By itself, I’m not crazy about the front or rear (the three light circles on each side are a bit odd). But, as a whole, it works. 

I mean, it’s interesting, I guess. To see what ma-maw might have been driving back in the day. But after the initial “Oh, that’s kinda neat.” factor wears off in about 5 minutes, who cares? Certainly not $10k+. ND. 

FWIW, Gizmodo is under different ownership, now. They’ve switched to a different commenting system that is leaps and bounds ahead of Kinja. Although, that wouldn’t take much. 

If anyone can do it, I’ll put my money on Uncle Rich. He’s got the full firepower of The Electrified Garage behind him. If not, it’ll still be entertaining. 

I’ve always thought Zane was a fantastic actor and never really achieved the level of stardom that he should have. This was a great piece. 

Not sure why the story above references news coverage from a station in West Virginia, but the local ABC affiliate is a better source.

An absolutely bonkers movie, but no mention of the hammer fight?

The Fall is one of my all time favorites. The story is pretty OK, but the visuals are absolutely mind-bendingly good. Every time I’m in a store that has used DVDs, I do a quick scan, just keeping hope alive. No luck, yet.

I bought a used Volvo 850R a few years back. It had this weird rattle under the carpet on the driver’s side. I stuck a crevice tool on a vacuum cleaner in through a cut out near the seat supports. Vacuumed out 15-20 clear glass marbles. I was never convinced that I got them all. 

Serial killer. Hook hand. Back seat. 

“It’ll outrun an F-111 until takeoff.”

Is there anything Brolin can’t do?

The Cien is a very cool concept, but the Ciel is the one that got away.

My mom loves the stuff (or at least did when I was a kid) and would try to get me to like pimento cheese sandwiches. I absolutely hated it then and still do. I’m now over 50, have lived in southern states my whole life (except for a brief stint in Italy), and I have never met anyone who does like it. Gives me the

I noticed the same thing. Missed the light pole at the start of the wreck, neatly between the gas pumps, and into empty spaces in the parking lot. The only collateral damage (apart from the car, driver, and passenger) seems to be that blue “4" sign and landscaping.

I was hoping to hear about her experience on the TVOTR video for Happy Idiot. Did she actually get to work with Paul Rubens? Looking at the video, it doesn’t seem like it, but who knows?

I somehow missed the first part when you stated it was about Indiana Jones. I saw the conversation was between Kasdan, Lucas, and Spielberg and, in my head, thought the conversation was about Obi Wan and Leia. It kinda made sense, until the affair part. Then it pretty much went off the rails.

You’ve provided the best Citation. An X-11 always gets a star.
