You're right, Mike! I do remember there was some kind of classic car Sly was working on in the movie. Wasn't there a vanity plate?

The license plate on his car reads "Awsm50" and it has Gina Gershon in it. 10/10

It's Driven (2001) with updated cinematography and graphics but I'll take Driven because of Sly Stallone

Damn damn damn. Read what happened and what a tragedy. What an incredible guy on and off the screen. I just watched Spinal Tap II the other night and loved it. Rest in Power, Marty DiBergi #HATM

1) "The Tentacles of Progress: Technology Transfer in the Age of Imperialism, 1850–1940" by Daniel Headrick. While it doesn't just focus on India, India is discussed in every chapter and is central to Headrick's argument.
2) burgers and fries
