In the "darker & edgier = better" 2021 remake Brian pulls out a gun, shoots the Ferrari driver in the face and sets the car on fire before peeling out. In a later flashback scene, we learn that Ferrari guy was his next door neighbour when he was a boy, and Brian saw him routinely dress up as a dragon sodomize the family sedan.

The other bonus for a van is that I can take the seats out and fit a full sheet of plywood in one. Can't even do that in most SUVs.

Christ, right? I also can't remember the last time I just saw a "regular" WRX. Every single one that I can remember has been horribly modified in someway with the most typical being completely slammed with the tires well within the wheel well, extreme camber, black rims and extremely blacked out tint covered in the most retarded decals with every catchphrase imaginable and don't forget the shocker bumper sticker.

Window 1/4 down in the winter for ripping mad clouds.

I saw the start of this description and was going to add the shocker sticker, but you had it covered. It's the tramp stamp for cars. So trashy. A level of taste even below Calvin pissing on ____.

I had to look up GC8, which I ended up being proud of. A friend of mine has a 1996(?) or something Impreza that he (had a legit shop) did an engine swap with a recent model STi, and with a few "upgrades" for good measure. I will say... it's got a ton of grunt, and is fun to hoon around. But it smells like gas/exhaust all the time, economy is laughably bad, he had to do a full repaint to get it to look reasonably clean, the seats and interior are poo poo, and it still looks like a mid-90's shitbox. :shepspends:

At least he doesn't have the sticker.

Try that trip in a jam packed standing-room-only bus, where the driver is hauling rear end around hairpins, literally gliding past parked and moving vehicles with like 2" of clearance, tourists are swaying in the aisles clutching bags with one hand and the grab bar with the other, many close to falling over or being sick or both, and my 3-yo sitting on my wife's lap shouting out "YAAAAAAYYYY, WHEEEEEEEE!" every time we hit a bump or nearly went up on 2 wheels.

It's a garbage holiday and by extension all food traditionally served for it is garbage. Who even eats turkey on the reg out of choice rather than the belief that it is somehow healthier than chicken, pork or beef?

Thanksgiving is a potentially culturally inappropriate holiday but I don't give a gently caress because it's one of the 2 times a year it is proper to roast a drat turkey.

Rhopunzel posted:

This is correct. Turkey is the worst meat. It's like chicken but poo poo and much harder to cook. I moved to the US 5 years ago and every time I've had Thanksgiving dinner it was bland turkey and hosed up casseroles I've never even heard of, so my thanksgiving dinner would be a few slices of turkey, ham and some dinner rolls. Have Americans not heard of roast potatoes or something?

I... what? The important part about the turkey is basically the stuffing, and putting gravy on everything. How do you not get this? The turkey itself should still be pretty good if it's cooked by someone who knows what they're doing, but it still needs gravy. Potatoes can be roasted or mashed, both good, both require gravy. Ignore the casseroles, have some vegetables on your first plate (apply gravy), then go back for seconds of turkey, potatoes, and stuffing. Apply gravy liberally. How do you people not get this?

Store bought ones usually have very light icing/custard/whatever the yellow layer is. Homemade (in my experience) is usually more dense, which I like. More support to the top chocolate layer when you bite it, so it doesn't get all hosed up and cracked and bent.
