This is incorrect. Everyone knows this is how true hairdressers get around

The mercedes SL has one of these in the pocket of the door, but I wouldn’t necessarily think of it as an Easter egg as much as it is a nice touch

The Range Rover Sport’s puddle lamp isn’t a logo as much as a gentle, sweeping outline of the car itself. It’s subtle and cool.

I’ve been using this “trick” for years - but I thought you needed to log in with a .edu email address. Either way, I bet this backdoor goes away soon

This is so heartening! It’s almost as if writers are writing this movie and not studio executives.

a 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their product.

This is the most cogent piece I’ve seen on this today:

I used to watch Motor Week all the time as a kid in the 80's but completely forgotten that fact until hearing host John Davis’s voice just now.

This will also be the movie poster for the upcoming action flick: “Death Race 3000: Cars and Coffins” - Summer 2019

Agree. I had a foursome once for 2 hours with 3 girls in the back of my then-1989 Chevy Blazer - I can speak with authority that there’s plenty of room even with that giant carpeted spare tire back there.

Bull bar? Growing up back east we always called them “cow bars”- but in Australia they call them “roo bars” - you know - as in Kangaroo.
