But the Aventador is bought by rappers and YouTube ‘celebrities’ who wear Affliction t-shirts.

And from 77-88 the Esprit used the tail lights from a Rover SD1.

He’s also a fucking badass with a gun:

The rich guy wanting the car is only part of the equation though. Then you have Ferrari being too stuck up to actually sell him one, despite the fact that he has already invested literally tens of millions into the brand at this point. By any stretch of the imagination he’s ‘qualified’ for the purchase, yet for some…

Hahaha did you just make that? Or did this actually exist?

I love everything about this story.

They really could have totally lost the story about the missing kid and the monster, and just made it all about the weird girl with superpowers who escaped from a secret government lab.

A senior investigator just said that it was deliberately flown into the sea.

777 is pretty much the safest aircraft flying.

YES! I had the exact same thought. And it’s like, why is this even an issue? This is a prestige drama with a decent budget. Would it be THAT hard to find a pre-1982 car to blow up? No it would not. It’s just sloppy production.

Exactly. That shit drives me nuts.

I watched the entire series in about two sittings also, and was unbelievably impressed with how they absolutely nailed the aesthetic. It was amazing, and I’m a total geek for this kind of thing. I wish more period shows had this kind of attention to detail (ahem, The Americans and Halt and Catch Fire, I’m looking at…

Its not even a spoiler at this point though.

And yet people keep buying them. Lots of them.

You can’t expect Gawker’s staff of millennials to know minor details like when WWII happened. But they’re also the foremost authority on the economic impact of Brexit and the U.S. presidential election.

I can just hear the thought process in the Ultima driver’s head as it was happening.

Yep, been there. At some point it just stops being fun. And that’s when you need to decide whether you want to cut your losses and get rid of the car, or spend the coin necessary to actually fix the thing properly once and for all (i.e., rebuild the engine and anything else that needs it).

And by A8 I mean R8.

I would take the old one every single time. I wouldn’t even give it a second thought.

Yep. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve had that exact thought in my head when I got a rental (not the hat one, the other one).
