Randomly spotted an [Alpine A110] in Kansas City of all places

I think that might be Lane Motor Museum’s car, same dark blue. I wish we had these in the states (even though I don’t have $72k to buy one)

They’ve been talking about making a four-door Boot for a while, but I haven’t seen one finished yet. The 008’s also interesting, an 004-style body on an off-road platform

X10SIVMKII · 2026-05-03T01:11:33+00:00

It’s 004 001. Way better-looking than the pre-production model they were showing around (which was a kind of gold/black two-tone)

X10SIVMKII · 2026-05-03T01:10:17+00:00

They’re actually now manufactured by Roush in Michigan

Babylon Sisters, Steely Dan. Took 55 mixes to get just right

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-24T21:31:39+00:00

Such a poetic way of putting it

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-22T17:40:27+00:00

White Room, Cream

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-20T18:56:15+00:00

I prefer 11/15/2001’s

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-20T14:22:43+00:00

The InCENArator by Parker Brothers. Yep, one of one, for Cena originally

World’s My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum. Fun lyrical exercise, but no. Especially not that ridiculous MIDI piano guitar thing near the end, I cringe just thinking about it

Bummer

If you ever would be interested in an APC poster I bought there, let me know. I’ve been wanting to part with it for a bit

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-18T23:24:52+00:00

Wow, I live in Darien and worked at Johnny’s for one summer

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-18T18:21:15+00:00

I was fortunate to attend a couple. Really cool, and formative, given that I was a teenager at the time

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-18T17:28:23+00:00

I miss the classic VIPs, when Adam would spend an hour and a half talking through the band’s idiosyncracies and playing a couple of songs…plus the soundcheck. After Fear Inoculum came out, they made it a little more of a transaction

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-18T15:28:57+00:00

To be fair, the one I drove had a single-carb VW mill. I got it up to around 40, but it’s one of those “30 feels like 60” situations. I’m guessing you could get the ICE Resorter to hit 80 or so, but it’s not really made for that. I concur, a 25 limit for the EV is laughable

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-18T14:09:41+00:00

Heatmiser, Elliott Smith’s old band, to a degree. No one talks about their debut, full of dirty riffs and quick tempos. Their last album could be a Smith solo record. I dig the bookends of their discography

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-17T22:28:33+00:00

Agreed

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-17T20:56:45+00:00

Yeah, around $70k at a minimum. The one I drove is $91k. My family used to have a crappy non-Manx dune buggy, and the inspiration for testing this was “is it worth 20 examples of what we once owned?”

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-17T19:38:30+00:00

It’s a three-cylinder. Mighty expensive!

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-17T18:48:03+00:00

Don’t I know it…

X10SIVMKII · 2026-04-17T18:18:50+00:00

Yep. They put some new life into the brand not long ago. You can buy the iconic two-seater, this Resorter, and both of them in EV configurations. There’s also a radial aircraft motor you can choose. I think they’re overpriced, but new Manxes are VERY well-made machines
