Yes, but before people used the term millenials they referred to the late '70s-early' 80s kids as Gen y, and then there were millenials, and then everyone was millenials, including people who haven't been born yet and your great grandfather and they're all horrible human beings just like everyone to come before or since.

Kids being born today and probably for the past 10 years are definitely not millenials

The BBC recently said it was a big mistake to lose Clarkson and when GT sets some massive streaming record it's gonna make them look even more foolish.

I'm pretty sure they expected nothing less.

Clarkson, May and Hammond was Top Gear, the other elements of the show were merely the backdrop for their antics.

Top Gear UK will be fine now that Chris Evans is gone. It very likely may never reach the heights of the old incarnation, but it'll make for a very decent big budget car show.

Can't see how it's a bad thing. We get to keep old top gear, but with a new name and hopefully with a few cobwebs brushed off. And we also get a new-ish BBC funded car show with an old name which will hopefully be once the figure out what they are doing.

Yeah BBC lost top gear but it's not like they could keep Clarkson around anymore considering the amount of (largely undeserved) poo poo that keeps getting flung at them, and the mostly deserved trouble he kept getting in.

Here's the photgrapher's M52 turbo 325i, started life as a shell, swapped to 24V towards Senior year, and went turbo in 2013 or so. It's mighty, around 475 to the tire & pretty darn reliable.



He might be a professional drifter, but his photos are not worth putting a watermark on. :eng101:

At the risk of appearing an autist, luckily it's easy to look these things up.

It's described as a 50's-60's faded red/orange truck, bought by Billy Black in the 80's and frequently repaired by both himself and Jacob. Billy didn't want to sell it, but lost his need for it when he became disabled. On Stephenie Meyer's website, it is said that her truck is a 1953 Chevy Pick-up truck.

In the movie, Bella's truck is a 1963 Chevy StepSide C-10 pickup.

Yes, and in that situation they mean "don't loving put your car here because handicapped vans with ramps need that space." Nobody's getting a ticket for going over that line, unless they're not tagged for the handicapped spot in the first place.
