“Can ‘Mercedes AMG GT R’ be our safe word?” is not the proposal my girlfriend is expecting. 

Both will apparently top out at 90 mph.

Lexus LFA, Ford GT, BMW Z8, Porsche 959, Acura NSX...

Oh shit those are just their huge claws. No thanks.

What are they carrying? Knives?

Just had the misfortune to spend a long weekend in a Nissan Kicks.

This worked out well for me exactly one time. Had seats on a flight that had a connection (cheapest option) and they overbooked it. We got $400/ticket (2 tickets) to take a later flight out that same afternoon. The new flight was a direct route and put us at our destination roughly 15 minutes after we’d have…
