I feel like that is a real-life recreation of me playing Gran Turismo 2 at my best.

Elon Musk recently said that he wants the Model 3 to be "different from any other car on the road," something that's "really useful." Based on the profile, there are certainly shades of Toyota Prius in there and we know that Musk likes hatchbacks, but since this is obviously such an early prototype it's impossible to…

Model S sets the hype bar preeeeetty high, my friend. :)

I do. I haven't been a teenager in decades. And I will be watching this. (Granted, all expectations set to zero.)

I saw a shiny new Active Hybrid 5 yesterday. Never seen one before. Any commentary on that, or any other 5er? No mention of the 5 - a perennial Jalop favorite - at all in this post, yet you chose one as the hero image (!).

Look out, Mars Rover! Here comes Juketrack!

Ah rats. That's what I was looking for. I have a PC at work and a Mac at home and school. Argh.

I second your opinion FWIW. The old/original/real/only Disco actually got taller towards the rear. So much better.

I think that car resides in West Seattle. Rad.

Those *teleprompter readers* are hideous. Yeesh.

Thanks for that! Those are endlessly entertaining. Extra bonus if you can guess the speaker without looking it up.

"Jim Rockford is my spirit animal"

Per his memoir, he was a lifelong, voting Democrat, and daily weed toker for decades. Viva Garner!

Link for those that haven't heard it.

Here's my number one objection to remaking Rockford, the one thing that would make the show completely uninteresting: mobile phones.

CHiPs had its fair share too. :) Often they were filming on yet-to-be opened stretches of LA freeway like the 118 and 210.

So true. Check out the episode guide sometime. It's a good read - lots of detail if you really wanna go down the Rockford rabbit hole. Fun fact: one of the last (unfilmed) episodes involved a story line about a woman who finds Rockford and claims she's his daughter. The season ended prematurely due to complications…

In the case of Rockford, loads of A-listers appears on the because of their fondness for Garner. Sure there were people on the way up and regular B- or C-list actors, but it's funny to go back and see the big names like Lauren Bacall, Isaac Hayes, Rita Moreno, Robert Loggia, Joan Van Ark etc on there.

FWIW I tried to type "created" and either I got Kinja'd again, or Siri'd. "Crashed". WTH?

Not sure if serious....
