    Reacher

    Don't let silly details ruin the show! I noticed this season a whole lot of "talking my whole plan through and wasting a lot of time when I could have just shot you" a la Scooby Doo. That still didn't bother me. It's sort of a "Die Hard" formula. If you focus on the action, characters and...

    The show is great. Stealing from the movie “Twins:” “I love it when you hit people!” Completely enjoyable.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Well, it seems that the Nexens were one of the few choices for the 19" (235/35ZR19) wheel, because (truthfully) those are bad dimensions for a snow tire. The better, smarter option is have an 18" wheel set for the R. Blizzak won't make a 235/35ZR19. When they stretched the first snow tire onto...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    It would have been over $2000 for the new 18" blizzak set. They gave me a little off from the original purhase price and did not charge me for the multiple rims and tires blown in the process. So I stuck with them. No more blowouts adn a few hundred snow miles on them now. I won't buy the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    FYI-- update on the Nexen tires that I have been so "so-so" regarding. Realistically, 99% of the driving I have been doing is on roads and highways in dry or rain. They drive a little rough on bumpy roads and are "okay" as performance tires on the highway in winter. They are a little on the...

    The Fast Food Thread

    The one saving grace for BK is consistency. Even if that consistency kinda sucks. Personally, I think they make one great product; the Whopper Junior. It is a snack size, perfectly proportioned, sweet, and has actual vegetables on it (as opposed to re-hydrated crap). Their app used to give stuff...

    Alien: Earth

    Noah Hawley has his occasions of brilliance, but he cannot hold a complicated tale together. I thought Legion was on it's way to becoming a once in a generation bit of genius writing. But he writes like a juggler trying to keep to many balls in the air and it all falls apart.

    I'm glad I got my review before that post (I am banned from Twitter/X). I would have been upstaged. Spot on review!

    Saltburn (2023)

    Central character is (presumably) downtrodden working class. He's gay (or at least a closeted gay). The upper class are just wealthy. They have no ambitions or meaning to exist except to employ (essentially) white-slave butlers and gardeners. There is at least one person of color (who is also...

    Saltburn (2023)

    I am angry with myself for tolerating this piece of shit. It is everything I disdain about modern art films. Fags, nihilistic white people with no purpose for existing, noble workers on the periphery, astounding set pieces reminiscent of other great works of literature and film, and a central...

    There is some validity to that point... BK is trash. But I do like the Whopper Jr's sweetness.

    I thin that CFA is just too high and mighty. App gives damn few rewards. There are almost never coupons for the stuff, plus when you try to order ahead, their app in invasive of your data (tracks you and where you are and what the traffic is on the route you are coming) and then tries to have...

    So much for the nexens... The tire blew out at 70 mph on the highway between a massive merger of 4 highways... It blew out. Then my engine starting smoking (I hope that it isn't blown). Then 3 hours for AAA to pick me up. Cars where coming within 6 inches of my vehicle going about 100mph...

    Nope. No wing and it wasn't much louder than stock. Favorite ticket of all time: 29 in a 25 in Waitsfield, Vermont in the WRX.

    That was my other car-- BETTER in the snow than just about any other car of it's size. Another fun as hell car.

    The heated steering wheel thing is a bit of a mystery to me too-- it comes on (but not full force as if you put it on manually). I have had some of the driver assist functions altered with an ECU (APR) tune on both. I am not a fan of the "car decides for itself" how close you can get to...

    I've taken the older R through white-out, mountainous terrain. It's damn good with snows, that is for sure. The summer Pilots that it comes with are super fun, but when you have to travel and conditions are extreme, I go with the snows. If you don't have to, then all-seasons are a reasonable and...
