Meh, gas is already 4-5 dollars a gallon here in Ca, plenty of gas guzzlers around.

Pikes Peak Suzuki Escudo in Gran Turismo,  twin-turbo V6 pushing 981 HP, maximum torque of 687.1 lb-ft, with 800kg. That thing was a monster, and extremely fun to slide around.

Just call it Warthog, everyone else does.

I really like the FC, it could have been a modern version of the UAZ 452 which is really close to my heart (and spent a lot of times in back in the old country).

Coal rolling fuel setup, bad for everyone around you, and for your truck too.

Jalops here: “everything is grey, white, black, we need colors!”... Color shows up, jalops here: “OMG you won’t catch me in that, barf...”

• Jeff Spicoli: Well, I’ll tell you Stu, I did battle some humongous waves! But you know, just like I told the guy on ABC, “Danger is my business!”

I understand airlines are pushing for this because there’s a pilot shortage, and because it will commoditize pilots and make it financially better for them, but it’s a bad idea, IMHO.

Bubbles (Wires, not Trailer Park) and Johnny would grab these for sure.

Oh Frankfurt, I have done a bunch of transatlantic flights in the late nineties, and coming from CA (where indoor smoking is mostly banned everywhere), it always shocked me the “cigarette smoked filled” terminals in Germany (at least that’s how it felt to me).

In other news: “Russian military age male refuses to go to Ukraine”.

Not a car but a bike, Honda Xr650L, released in 1992, still on sale unchanged (other than paint and graphics). It is a solid, simple, rugged bike, so it is not shocking that it is still wanted, but the lack of update in it’s 30+ year run is something to gawk at.

Peak Group B Rally from the eighties (Renault Turbo, Metro 6R4, Peugeot 205 turbo, the classics...)

That Viper license plate, lol.

It acts like shifting into lower gear to save your brakes. Works really well for downhill sections. B = Brake

Excellent article! AV Club needs more like this.

So, no old mentor/buddy character? Better be a polar bear in there somewhere.

I can’t stress enough how meaningful the giraffe scene was in the first game. It’s a beautiful moment, and one of the reasons The Last of Us Part 2 is a lesser work to the original, imo because there’s nothing like that in there.

We drove our 2nd gen Prius until 191,000 miles, got totaled in a collision, what did I replace it with? Another 2nd gen Prius, this one has 184,000 miles and I’m expecting another 100,000 out of it at least.

This is cool, anyway, what happened to the “Stolen Taycan Headlight” article?
