Re: charging at the bar, my local watering hole (imminently walkable from my house ... Not that I’ve ever needed to crawl home) just redid the bar and furniture. At the bar seating, they now have outlets for patrons. They might actually be those ones with dedicated USB ports, too.

Two of my local German car dealers offer APR tuners in house as well as a few aftermarket suspension goodies. I know it’s not the same as a factory-ordered upgrade, but it’s close.

As far as 3rd party add-ons and warranties, the burden of proof is on the dealer (servicer) to show that the non-stock item is either what…

That’s literally the only thing I could think of. Well done.

(Also the only truly decent scene in the entire movie.)

Ann Ramsey died 1988.
Belichick took the head coaching job at Cleveland in 1991.
In the interim? Sex change.

Isn’t this Selfless (pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds and post-everything Ben Kingsley)? Rich guy pops his brain into some other schmuck so he can live forever, then it becomes a murder mystery (who killed the “other schmuck”)? Or Ghost in the Shell (swap brains into synthesized bodies - but those are androids and these are…

Dammit ...came here to post the link and you beat me to it (only by the narrowest of marginal hours). Yeah, it’s proprietary to Motion Impossible - they build a handful of different remote dollies.

Nah. It ends up looking like the 12V-powered kids version of the grown up car.

If you’re going to do that, why not do something that would make sense (given the starting point)? Something like a Sunbeam Tiger?

Miata weight is like 2200 lb. Tiger is like 2600 lb ...but you get to drop in a Ford 289 instead of the…

Why are we not making the 30 for 30 “This Was the XFL” required viewing? (Yeah, I get it - not your parent company.) Seriously - it’s worth watching to see how goddamned stupid it was the first time around. There’s really nothing they could do this time that will make it any better.

The best of the best (of the best,…

Everyone in the black community knows that there are three people who can dismantle your soul and crush your spirit using nothing but words: the oldest barber at any barbershop, a black mother whose child forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer and—worst of all—a black Baptist preacher.

I almost always have my phone charged. My wife almost never charges her phone. Invariably we are out somewhere, and she will ask to borrow my phone because hers is dead.

What time and where is the Silverado unveiling? I thought it was scheduled for Saturday ...

This is not what I needed to see. I’m doing the Polar Run rally (northern MN to maybe northern-er WI) in early Feb in a car with too much power, not enough ground clearance, and aging “all-season” tires.

Whee!

More importantly ...are you guys going to try out the Mayhem Hall Pub?

I know Star, Steven U, Gumball and a handful of others far better than I should given my (relatively) advanced age. That said, I’ve got two kids (the oldest just turned 11), so there’s a glut of youth programming in my house.

The intro song from Star is my text message alert on my phone.
(Just the first 3 sec) It’s…

I’d say that the closest you can get is a Kia Stinger. Yeah, no stick shift yet, but I think it’s got everything else you’re looking for. And even if you load it (GT2 package with AWD), you’re at like $51k.

Turbo V6 makes 365hp.

I’ll add a 91 Nissan 300ZX TT to that list.
300 hp and 280 (I think) tq from the factory.
RWD and choose-your-own-adventure gearset.

Pro tip: dropped menorah candles tend not to shatter and are easily handled without need for protective gear, tape, or vacuums.

Ep IX is just gonna be Yoda vs Snoke in a Force Ghost Battle.

Holdo’s a Vice Admiral (three stars), one below General (four stars).

It’s a little confusing to me (caution, nitpicking ahead) that Holdo is a VADM and Leia is a GEN in that those two ranks are (generally) from different branches of armed forces. For all intents and purposes, a General and an Admiral are the same, but…
