I always thought it would be fun to track my own car...if I owned a car that could do that. If I were rich, I would set up a Civic Type R or a Mazda MX-5 coupe. See I don't want a super powerful car, just sthing that would be fun to get skillful at driving well. Get lessons, get a car that would be fun to track even if it was not the fastest, and enjoy the thrill of armature racing.

When I was a kid, Paul Newman, would race his car at Lime Rock Speedway. He had the money to do what he wanted and he wanted to race.

Do you have a picture? I'm not familiar with how the controller looks, I know they have different types of removable paddles, but I just want to see what it looks like.

Its fine, a fun movie to watch. I think POKÉMON DETECTIVE PIKACHU was more daring and more inventive, but so what? I think everyone involved was FORCED by the stupidity of the fando to tread very carfully. We reap what we sow, and video game fandom has proven they will whine about everything. So, for this first outing we get something innoffeive that hopeful does well enough to allow a second and third movie.

While the Lamborghini is nice, I think the better buy a 2023 Honda Civic Type R with all the racing mods it can reasonably have strapped on. Maybe preemptively purchase four pairs of tires with four double pairs of brake pads and rotors. Throw in a few racing lesson and club membership to a local track and that is still under $100K - if you don't mind driving your car to teh track.

Yet for 1/4 the Lambos price you could buy a Civic Type R, a car trailer, a Ford F250 truck, a daily driver Civic, spare parts for the Type-R car, and a club membership for five years! You could race every weekend for $250K and still have $25K left over if you blow an engine or two or drop a transmission on the track.

If you have $350K they you can get a the track version of the new Corvette, the second daily driver car, the towing truck, the trailer, spare parts, and club membership. And for $500K you can have any $50K to $100K sports cars torn down and rebuilt for racing with roll cage, drivers' seat w/ safety features like head-restraint, fire extinguisher systems, etc.

I think it should be Elon-gate-ing.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women (2017)

DISC — for dominance, inducement, submission and compliance. Its a sweet story about people who love each other, any other view is missing the point. What delightful people to know more about. The end of the film that has the "How did this all end up?" that we all ask about stories based on true stories, and this one delivers. Watching the film made me want to read the original Golden Age comics so I bought the out of print Omnibus.

The comic was so tame, I can see what the original comic books was so popular because the stories are total Golden Age camp, but they are so subtle and have a great message - women can be powerful, wise, punny, and witty. You will notice the words dominance, submission and compliance; but the words are used in to highlight good vs bad; lawful vs criminal.

Anyway, I thought the movie was great, even my single white female-bi-sexual roommate was surprised by how the relationship between Prof Marston and his two wives was portrayed. You sense the enduring love in the back story as well as freedom from rigid gender roles the story took.

I think Honda did a nice job with the 'street' Civic R and the racing car version. Its seems like both Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Subaru have realized there is still niche that wants a manual transmission car and will spend the money. Anyways, nice looking car.

e3 was laying on the hospital bed in a vegetative state since 2016. I say 2016 because that was two years AFTER PS4 and XB-One went head and when Switch was shown off. Things were settling out well for all consoles, you could tell consoles were stronger than even and interesting games were coming out on on the horizon. That was the last of the "silver age" show's where important consoles and games were resealed and e3 was not struggling to shove consumer parts of the show in there.

So, 1995 to 2016, it was a good run.
