Mad Max has been tearing up the box office since mid-May. To capitalize on George Miller’s latest explogasm that’s putting Michael Bay in his place, Warner Brothers has made a video game, too.

- Formula m How many Hyundai and Kia’s do not have the original engine block it left the factory with 10yrs prior?
- 1995 SC I will say that year 29 has been a little spendy on my car (Motor Mounts, Injectors and a Supercharger Service since it had to come off for the injectors, ABS Pump and the tool to cycle the valves to bleed the system, Front Calipers, rear pinion seal, transmission service with a new pan that has a drain, a gaggle of capacitors to fix the ride control module and a replacement amplifier for the stereo. Still needs an exhaust manifold gasket. The front end got serviced in year 28. On the plus side blank cassettes are increasingly easy to find so I have a solid collection of 90 minute playlists.
- MaintenanceCosts My own experiences with, well, maintenance costs:Chevy Bolt, ownership from new to 4.5 years, ~$400*Toyota Highlander Hybrid, ownership from 3.5 to 8 years, ~$2400BMW 335i Convertible, ownership from 11.5 to 13 years, ~$1200Acura Legend, ownership from 20 to 29 years, ~$11,500***Includes a new 12V battery and a set of wiper blades. In fairness, bigger bills for coolant and tire replacement are coming in year 5.**Includes replacement of all rubber parts, rebuild of entire suspension and steering system, and conversion of car to OEM 16" wheel set, among other things
- Jeff Tesla should not be allowed to call its system Full Self-Driving. Very dangerous and misleading.
- Slavuta America, the evil totalitarian police state

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is one of the most consistently satisfying things I watch. If you're a car guy with even half a sense of humor it's well worth checking out. The cars are all great and its interesting to see what various comedians are like in a less formal setting, some still very funny (Louis CK) so less so (Tina Fey)
With Mad Max Fury Road being so heavily loaded with insanely awesome cars, why aren't we discussing it more here? I feel like we need a special TTAC review of the film, with Jacks eye for stories, and Sajeevs (Vellum Venom for the Gigahorse anyone?) eye for design, it could be awesome. It is fair that we are suspicious towards the game though. Movie related games have a justified bad rep so far.
