The thing is this car was built to be beat on, all the components were upgraded. I have ridden in one of these on track and they are entertaining and would be a fun weekend toy.

At this mileage, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I had a ‘13 Genesis Coupe Track (basically this car, but with leather/power seats/auto climate/nav/spoiler/etc.) that I drove for about 4 years and 80k miles. I beat on that car daily, but also took care to warm it up in the mornings, adhered to factory maintenance…

Seriously, that’s Jalop-level sleuthing.

The tires would tell if this thing has been driven hard. It’s wearing RE050a’s which probably last a year at most if driven hard, but if they're 3 or 4 years old it's definitelt been babied. I would be looking at the date codes for sure.

He did once hint to us that he had gotten up to ~150 on an empty stretch of interstate one day...but he sobered up and never mentioned it again.

Don’t lie - he is out hooning that car every day! 

How about my dad’s 2004 VW R32 with 50k?

Surely not the first pick for a track car though? It's more GT than GT3.

This one might still have more warranty than the Mustang would have new, if it transfers.

Anatoli has a nose for trouble 

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this article. I was going to comment on it, but you beat me to it.

Make it Snowpiercer/Langoliers and toss in a healthy dose of Airplane! and I might be a bit more interested.

Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312 features a moving city that perpetually crawls along Mercury’s terminator. They should adapt that instead. 

Pfft. People on Crematoria have to outrun the sunrise every new day.

So, Snowpiercer meets The Langoliers. Got it.

Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo, here comes the sun
And I say it’s death light

Little darling, the screams from their burning faces
Little darling, it seems death is 8 light minutes from here

We could afford HBO. Or rather, we could afford to listen to it and occasionally even snippets of the picture through the scrambler.

There’s a reason HAL is the most enduring part of that movie despite that he’s a smaller part of it - because you can actually follow what’s going on. There’s a clear challenge and villain, and the protagonist has to overcome it.

I know I’m sticking the proverbial neck out here, but I too was around when Blade Runner came out and recall only too well the audience indifference to hostility to Blade Runner. It was a movie that needed time to filter into the culture and become what it is today: A revered cult classic.

People tend to forget that Blade Runner was almost universally despised when it came out at the end of June 1982, two weeks after E.T. began its wholesale dominance of popular culture. Critics panned it, audiences were baffled by it, and it didn’t even begin to find an audience until it found its way to video and…
