Imagine the horror when he picks up one of these bad boys:

I doubt it’s because the person hates the color orange. The angry person is someone who lives on the street and can’t find parking. He probably saw Korey walk around the corner one time, and now the car is easy to spot.

Long time BMW fan but sadly as much as I like the new 8 series, it really is just the discontinued 6 series next gen which they decided to call the 8 series. The modern 6 series was too big and more of an 8 series anyways. Dont know if the 6 series is ever going to come back. It is suppose to be a more sleek sportier

The F1 was designed to be the ultimate road car, not a dedicated track weapon. The T.50 is very much in that same vein. It’s going to be a car you could use every day, if desired. Experience matters.

Rubbermaid Interior? Dude what’s the latest model you’ve sat in? 2008? The interiors have come a long way and are pretty handsome compared to the competition.

Is Pagani the Italian Koenigsegg? Is Koenigsegg the Swedish Pagani? Give me a Zonda or Huayra over this thing any day of the week.

Really?  There is a blue one sitting in our parking lot and it looks far, far better than all of the modern luxury SUVs on the market.

6 weeks ago I bought one of his art pieces.

Re-inventing Aston Martin with the Aston Martin DB7.
Re-inventing Jaguar with the XJ, and then again with the I-Pace.

What a guy.

I guess they are not replacing him from within, given Wayne Burgess has just newly gone to Geely.

Man, this post was a total throwback to when I used to visit Russia every summer as a kid. Most of those cars were still on the road in the early 2000's, believe it or not. They had this interesting duality of being extremely durable but also extremely shoddy and fragile.

Trust me, those buildings were just as depressing when they were new.

Ya, I don’t blame her.

Am I the only person REALLY wishing we could buy a Combi Trophy Loaf in the States?

Every single acting performance on the show has been outstanding, and you’re complaining that they didn’t use actual Russians for a British/American joint production?

I’d rather the actors speak in their native accents than try to force a Russian accent ala Sean Connery and Harrison Ford as their respective Soviet sub commanders.

Personally, I like that they’re not faking Russian accents, since it usually comes across as cartoonist. I suppose Russian actors would have been a good idea, but, then you have to find enough that can speak English well enough to really pull off all the parts.

The podcast accompanying the episodes goes into great detail about this.  

Even the attention to detail in the aircraft - like the inside of Boris Shcherbina’s state helicopter - was amazing. Incredible miniseries that hits right on the folly of man like a lead sledge hammer.

I too often miss Clarkson, who was truly the epitome of grace under fire and stoicism, and never needlessly raised his voice. 

The original circuit at Watkins Glen (the one that went through town), actually had a railroad crossing in the middle of one of the longest straights. It’s rough crossing it today at “55", I couldn’t imagine with 1940's pavement and racing speeds.
