This isn’t the first time they’ve idled the plant - I believe it was closed 2005-2007 when they were switching over from Neon to the Caliber/Compass. Maybe this time it’ll actually kill the town.

I can’t think of a more fitting end for that place.

That’s what I was thinking, based solely on the fact that the Corridor Crew show “Visual Effects Artists React” were going nuts for RRR. One of the guys (and they’re all film nerds) said it was the only film he’d seen 2x in a theater in more than a year.

When whatever shot it is goes like a virus to the stunt…

But without the Allen key lock, zombie Swifty will get out much easier.

This.

Yes, all the industry shows are down (with regards to attendance), but my god is Detroit awful. I was lucky enough to attend Chicago for 10 out of the last 12 years (something like that, don’t make me count to be certain) as a member of the media. I attended Detroit once. That’s all it took for me to say that I…

Doom Patrol is great largely on the strength of Fraser. Yes, it’s a solid cast. Yes, everyone has great episodes, but Fraser is great in EVERY episode.

I did this. I coached 14U boys lacrosse the last two seasons. It was awesome. I didn’t volunteer as head coach, but I was the assistant coach, defensive coach, and stick doctor both years. I initially got the job because a friend was going to coach, but he’s a somewhat quiet dude and needed someone to help get play…

It’ll be visible in/near the constellation Ophiuchus in the southwest sky. Look 30-40° up from the horizon. It’s going to be hard to see, but that's where it'll be.

Tom, thanks for the response! I’m aware that the S/V90 won’t be fast. As much as I like fast, I’m being (sadly) realistic about need vs want and how I’m ranking attributes. At this point, I think comfort/luxury is going to trump raw speed/power. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it’s where I find myself leaning…

I need this to not be the case. I’m currently shopping for a third car (my kids are about to inherit my 2014 Jetta Sportwagen) and this is at the absolute top of my list. It is, approximately, triple my ideal budget. But I so, so want. I had a 2008 S6 that I absolutely loved and this is the marriage of that and the…

I’m sure they’ll charge her with it, and/or the guy she was with if they arrested him.

This is literally the plot of Death Race (2008), isn’t it?

And when she finally is sentenced, it’s likely that she’ll serve a year or so in a minimum security facility.

My son plays lacrosse and this spring and summer we’ll have a few out-of-state tournaments to get to. TDI Jetta wagon + cargo carrier to the rescue. I can fit myself, my son, and two of his teammates plus all of their gear (d-poles and goalie sticks, helmets, cleats, pads, etc) and their suitcases for a full weekend.…

So ... Chicago-area, TDI SportWagen gtg? Bonus points if I’ve already owned a V10 S6 (IL plates: SLOW V10)?

I’ve got a Galaxy S10. It’s bordering on three years old. The battery life is starting to wane, but I still get a full day out of moderate usage (without charging). The camera is so-so, but I own a “real” camera if I need anything more than the phone can deliver.

I mean ...it’s all the basics, isn’t it (as evidenced by most of the conversations here)?

- wheels/tires
- stereo
- internal window treatment (tint)
- external window treatment (Rain-X, etc)
- exterior lighting
- brakes
- ECU/TCU tune
- rear sway (okay, that’s my addition to the list)

LOL!

Small towns in Ogle?

Farming town in Northern IL with corn and soybeans?

It’s Cage/Noir’s prediction come true!

“OK, little fella, Kingpin’s gonna send a lot of mugs after ya, I’m talking hard boys, real biscuit boxers. Can you fight them all off at once?”

Kingpin Donofrio is back and he’s coordinating the entire thing!
