Why fight over it - there’s plenty of ugly to go around in that picture.

Fuel prices are rising in the U.S.

Vada Sultenfuss - what a name.  Anna Chlumsky was amazing in the movie.

My nephew was terrified of Christopher Lloyd in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  When he came to visit he would want to watch it, but would always hide when Judge Doom came on the screen.  He’s 21 next year - I should give it to him for his birthday.

Hi Lalita - I hope meeting a hero in Mario was a good experience. Sadly, I can’t agree about the Aztek - the best thing about that picture is that black hides all the sins of its odd shape. Greetings from Australia, where we no longer make cars (including the Holden ute in my avatar), but we love them nonetheless.

Misery.

‘Forcing’? As sad as I am there is no new replacement for my 2015 Holden ute, they weren’t marched out at gunpoint. People stopped buying the cars they actually made here in large enough quantities to make it worthwhile - what would you have done?  You might think this is a simplistic view, but it’s what happened.

“production for the Continental balanced out at the end of last year”

In Australia, we have E85, which has 10% ethanol added, but only newer cars are recommended to use this - I’ve never tried it. Standard unleaded fuel is 91 octane, 98 octane is for cars that should use it because the manufacturer recommends it - every other car won’t get much benefit from the extra cost.

I have a 20+ year old receiver with the same thing - no display. I only listen to one radio station when I’m in the shed anyway, so it’s perfect.

My Commodore ute drives like a car, not a truck and can still carry an entire kitchen home from Ikea (this happened only a month after I got it when my mum won a contest.  Good timing.)

The problem with using ‘proven’ technology (old), is that it is really noticed by consumers in the interactive parts of the driving experience. I would bet everybody here has seen car reviews describing the slow nature of some of the screens in new cars. Drivers interact with that many times a day, so using slower chip…

Modularity is great - but it almost always costs more than other similar products. Do all the cubes come included, or do you have to add some later? That can add up for this sort of product, as they are available nowhere else.

I am here for the polesitter trophy - not dull at all.

If I did, I don’t remember it.  PMR wasn’t on a main channel in Australia, so you caught it when you could if that was your thing.

I was just going to say something about LV parking lots - have a star for speed.

A new spin on the idea that nothing is free - someone always pays.

Are you an A9X Orange Torana?  Feels more like an SS colour to me.

Remember when there were 120lb domestic satellite dishes?

Finally I agree with Toto on something. Waste of time, except that Daniel Ricciardo won the main race, so the outcome was great.
