What's in our Car Town garage today?

1964 Lincoln Continental Convertible

The term "land yacht" is what best describe to this classic Lincoln which became a "cult classic" because of its completely different level of uniqueness especially it has suicide doors that is quite an unexpecting feature for an American car. Favored by collectors and appeared in several movies and TV shows, this Continental is all about keeping up with its looks, especially when it was the type of car used by the Secret Service of the late US President, John F. Kennedy.

2013 Ford Police Interceptor

By the moment Ford finds a replacement to the Crown Victoria-based Police Interceptor since it was out of commision in 2011, Ford decided to use the sixth generation Ford Taurus as its basis for its Police Interceptor, much as when Dodge decided to use the Charger for police purposes and General Motors seek help to Australia for the Caprice PPV. The Taurus-based Police Interceptor is powered in either a 3.5L Cyclone V6 or the high-performance EcoBoost V6 as applied on the SHO model. In Top Gear USA, Tanner Foust seeks the Ford Taurus Police Interceptor as the best next-generation cop car in America.

1970 Opel Manta A

Betcha didn't know that this first generation Opel Manta was one of the only few models to be ever sold in the USA and they're sold at Buick dealerships rather than their own dealership network aside from the Rekord, the Kadett, the GT, and the Ascona relative. Anyway, the first generation Opel Manta was praised by many as being one of the best handling cars in its class and it has a record of participating rally races in Europe and North America respectively. This classic Opel sure knows how to stay quirky at all times...

Let's Do The News! (May 9, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTi

RH: So, you love this thing, don't you?

JC: Yeah. Exactly. That's definitely the perfect definition of a hot hatch. I like it.

RH: I see what you did there because think about it, it's nimble, it's old-school, it has the same GTi spirit, and overall, a chance to break your neck when all hell breaks loose.

(audience laughing)

JC: That's the point and the best bit of being a GTi is that it wants to be as bad as...John Travolta to be precise. He's often being the bad guy in every action movie he has been...

(audience laughing)

RH: I had no idea what are you talking about...

JC: Anyway, let's do the news folks!

JM: Now, every year, the world's GTi owners gather together at some venue in Austria were everyone around here would want to act like morons, doing some ridiculous moments, or something like this...(imitates Candice) It's not a party! It's an intimate get together!

(audience laughing)

JC: Yeah, right. And in here, looks like Volkswagen's gonna showcase their latest GTi concept for the show, here's the pic so far...

JC: ...now what this is is what their latest GTi concept will be for some sort of GTi meeting in Austria. It's like it always happen every year when Volkswagen showcased their GTi concepts as part of saying thanks for their loyalty.

JM: Yeah, and do you still remember the Golf GTi-W12 a couple of years ago?

JC: Uh...yeah and sadly though, for a Golf with a W12 engine, I think most of the stuff isn't done. I got spun-off uncontrollably even though I'm trying to be gentle with it. Thing is though, when this monster Golf shows up soon, I'd expect it would be much worse than the GTi-W12 I tried. Most of the stuff in the dashboard doesn't work, well except for the sat-nav which thinks it's in Germany, the chassis doesn't work, the engine doesn't work...everything doesn't work...

(audience laughing)

RH: Oh, geez...I'd expect you might end up crashing in one of those...

(audience laughing)

RH: Anyway, I got some news that the second season of the anime we really don't want to see, which is Kuroko no Basuke or Kuroko's Basketball, is coming this fall and what do you guys think?

JC: I'd expect death threats from someone who disliked this show...

(audience laughing)

JM: Yeah, right. I mean there's so many death threats out there in Japan targeting against Kuroko's Basketball manga and anime, from the creator's nooks and crannies, to something that has further connection with this show. Think about it, those dojinshi events connected to the show got cancelled until further notice and last year's Comiket saw less customers because of the booth connected to KuroBas is gone for safety purposes. I wonder that if the second season could sparked fury to those responsible to the death threats?

JC: Beats me, James. Haters gonna hate...

(audience laughing)

JC: Now anyway, I got a bit of those notifications from my iPhone and says someone invited me to a game that I never played...What was that?

(audience laughing)

JC: Are they going to invite me to play a rather boring game that doesn't make any sense?

RH: Oh wait, let me guess...I got mine too and it says they invited me to play...um...let me see...let me see...oh! Candy Crush!

(audience laughing)

JC: That's right! It turns out that there's so many morons out there inviting me to play one of the most boring puzzle games of ages! I never played Candy Crush before and let me tell you something, why would you want to invite me to some super boring game in a form of a puzzle game? You know I don't like a puzzle game because puzzle games are RUBBISH!

(audience laughing)

JC: Tell you what? Someone out there is playing one! Who here plays some puzzle games aside from Candy Crush? Hands up!

(some audience raising hands)

RH: Well, some people do play boring puzzle games aside from Candy Crush saga...

JM: I do...

(audience laughing)

JC: WHAT?! James, you too?

JM: Yeah, only in my break time...

(audience laughing)

JC: (facepalm) You know I really don't like such games because you'll waste time doing nothing but flipping stuff...This is much worse than when I was playing the Montezuma game in my PSVita...

(audience laughing)

RH: Huh? Montezuma? You're playing a puzzle game, too?

JC: I know but I quit playing it. Puzzle games are no fun. And you know what else is not fun? INDIE GAMES, with the exception of Minecraft because it's more fun.

(audience laughing)

JC: Now, I had someone who has a baby boy who was going to celebrate his 1st birthday somewhere. I noticed that the little boy's birthday party theme would be "pirates". Do you know anything that has something to do about pirates?

RH: I do...Let's see...there's this...One Piece because of the Straw Hat Pirates, Peter Pan because of the villain named Captain Hook and his crew, Pirates of the Carribean franchise because of that Captain Jack Sparrow, Spongebob Squarepants because of Patchy the Pirate or The Flying Dutchman, Jake and the Neverland Pirates as seen on Disney Junior, which is an educational show...

JC: Jake and the Neverland Pirates? Guess my friend's baby boy likes that more than his old favorite, which is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Perhaps no wonder this baby boy has a fond of pirates and that's why the baby boy's mama chose "Pirates" as the party theme. Here's what sums it up...

RH: Hmmm...Irvine Dylan's Birthday Party...blah blah blah...May 12...blah blah blah...United BF Homeowners Association...blah blah blah...Paranaque...blah blah blah...wear pirate gear or swimwear... Oh really? Do they had a swimming pool?

JM: Swimming pool in the library, perhaps?

(audience laughing)

JC: James, this isn't the TARDIS. We're dealing with someone's pirate party planning. Here's the location in question...

JM: It is a swimming pool. Are Irvine Dylan's guests going to swim here for the party?

(audience laughing)

JC: Shut up, James! I know it's a birthday party but that's more like a combination between a birthday party and a poolside party! It's a birthday poolside party! (imitates Phineas) I know what they did today!

(audience laughing)

RH: You know, you should better leave the imitation to me because I'm the youngest...

(audience laughing)

JM: Wait a minute...there's something in my butt....Oh man! It itches! Must be itching! Ow! Ow! Must scratch!

(audience laughing)

(Squirrels in my Pants playing)

JC: Anyway, that's the end of the news and in the meantime, THERE'S SOMETHING ITCHY IN MY PANTS!

Mahal, IHAW NA!

You wouldn't believe what you just saw because almost-forgotten comedienne Mahal guested on the IHAW NA segment of May 8, 2013's Banana Nite! I know what you're thinking but...never mind about that. Cheers for Mahal...

Meanwhile, Chazz challenged everyone to do the PASA CARD in another CHAZZ DO IT!

Volkswagen Golf VII GTi

A true hot hatch needs to be somewhat fun to drive, has some of the gadgets for the driver to enjoy such as listening to music, a boot to put something at the back, and everything else that what makes a hot hatch, the hot hatch but not all hot hatches are made to be hot hatches because they all come in different shapes and sizes. It's the year 2013, and it's going to be the golden year for hot hatches good, bad, and ugly. From the Renault Clio 200 EDC, the one with the double clutch gearbox and 5 doors that doesn't make any sense for a hot hatch to the Peugeot 208 GTi which is a sensual hot hatch for the chosen few, there's a whole lot of hot hatches coming right at you and for Volkswagen, they're not absent for the hot hatch race.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTi

Welcome everyone to the brand new Golf GTi, the latest version of Volkswagen's most talked about hot hatchback everyone wants to have one. When I said "most talked about", I wonder if this is the kind of car that sparked a worldwide trending topic in the social medium? Anyway, started out in life as a Volkswagen Golf VII, the plain-looking one with the new type of platform, but the GTi injects some of the historical GTi heritage in the latest Golf so by the looks of it, it's not all that bad but be warned though, the GTi is the bad boy of the Golf range so the only thing the new GTi is good for is being as bad as John Travolta. Gosh, why would I want to make tortured metaphors on this? Oh well...

With the sport-tuned suspension, turbocharged petrol direct-injection engine (TSI) with 220PS of power output, and a whole lot of gizmos loaded on it, the new GTi loves to turn a bored driver into an extreme brainiac. So extreme, there's going to be a whole lot of science abuse out here. So, science abuse eh? How was it? Well, since this car wants me to turn into a brainiac with the love for abusing science, this isn't a car, it's like thermite disguised as a...um...well, what do you call those kind of candy that goes "pop" when it gets dipped on your tongue? Well, I don't know what kind of candy but I tried one of those "popping" stuff. Anyway, that's how it feels like. It's a thermite made to look like candy because that's what the new GTi best described.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTi interior

No matter which transmission you chose, either a 6-speed manual or the 7-speed DSG, the new GTi has a 0-100kph time of 6.5 seconds, bridging the gap between the Renault Clio 200 and the Peugeot 208 GTi. Top speed is 246kph, meaning it's quicker than the 208 GTi or the Renault Clio 200 as well, even with 5 doors! Wait? 5 doors?! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the new Golf GTi is available in either a 3 door for the tangy ones or a 5 door for the not so daring. Okay, I said the daring part but never mind. The 3-door version is daring for the hardcore but the 5-door is for those who had friends and then go out to the nightclub to waste themselves dancing. Pricing starts at 28,350 Euros, which means that this GTi's reasonably priced. Every speedo boy wants to have one for a living though but for the matured speedo boys, there's a patch for that...

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTi

There's also a new PERFORMANCE version of the new Golf GTi and what you get on this update is an additional 10PS of power, 250kph of top speed, and then there's the newly engineered electronic front differential lock developed specifically for this variant. Anyway, we don't need words to explain what's what, this GTi Performance version turns the normal Golf GTi into what it feels like it's been acting like "Jack the Ripper". Ouch. So Jack the Ripper-ish, the only thing that you might expect next is the snapping of your neck. While I'm not going to demonstrate how neck-breaking this Performance is, it's still the new Golf GTi I know. A perfect track wolf on a track day and a pefect cruising buddy on your weekends. This car won't make you disappoint, it will always plant a huge smile on your grin until you are opted to do the face dance. What you're looking up here is what I believed to be the best GTi ever made and you are more than welcomed to find one at your nearest VW dealer.

BMW M6 Gran Coupe

The current generation V8-powered M6, in coupe and cabriolet guise, is all about being bad wolves in sheep's clothing. It may look as subtle as a premium gran tourer but overall, its dynamic driving feel really gets the best of us, literally. It maybe mild but it's tangy when it comes to driving the M6. Now that the 4-door version ironically called the Gran Coupe came out last year, it seems that the M6 version is not absent to the Gran Coupe range. Let's find out...

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Annoyingly, it seems the grand touring machine has added two extra doors and still call it a Gran Coupe. Excuse me but 4-door coupe? I thought coupes were made to be two-door cars and how come there's such thing as a 4-door coupe? What's next? 4-door supercar? Oh wait, there's an analogy for that. It was in the Aston Martin Rapide, Maserati Quattroporte, and the Porsche Panamera, I think. Anyway, for this terribly confusing version of the M6, does it still have the same grand touring dynamism of the normal M6 now with extra doors?

Well, yes. It is still fast. Zero to hundred in less than four and a half seconds and it's electronically locked in 255kph (305 km/h/189 mph if the optional M Driver's Package is specified). With 4.2 seconds of 100kph time, that's about the same as its equivalent rival from Mercedes-Benz, the CLS63 AMG 4-door coupe even though they both have the same power output from their V8 engines but unlike the CLS63 which has the nastiest vocal cords, the BMW M6's polar-bear friendly V8 seems to have its silence fallen. Get it? Silence has fallen. Anyway, forget about that, let's talk more about the new M6 Gran Coupe.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Even with the added doors on the side, it still feels like an M6. It still has the thrill of a grand tourer while delivering the comfort of a premium sedan. If you're not in a mood for fun and games, the M6 Gran Coupe really is majestic and if you've been chauffeured in one of those, rest assured that you have a sparkle on your reputation by the time you got out for school studies. Imagine if a rich schoolgirl riding in one of those... Anyway, in the whole "fun and game" stuff, it's not that quite bad at all. You can hoon all day long in here until the tires get burst at the end of the day as long as there's no one bothering your whole fun and games for the day. For the braking, it's not to shabby too because unlike most other cars equipped with the high-performance compound braking system, the M6 Gran Coupe comes served with the optional carbon-ceramic brakes made from a new type of carbon-fiber compound which generates greater resistance to heat, lower weight and exceptional resistance to wear.

It's tamed, it has a double-clutch gearbox, a V8 turbo engine, some sporting credentials as expected from the normal M6, this Gran Coupe version sure knows where's it heading. It tries to be more of a sensual 4-door coupe built for high-performance fun while retaining the comfort of an executive premium sedan that will keep your Sir Chief impressed for more. Think of it as your university professor in size zero hot pants but one thing you'll notice is its pricing and with the starting price of 128,800 Euros, it will take years for you to save some cash unless you win the lottery to get one for keeps. Go ahead, unless you said "Shut up and take my money", you won't get it but good luck for those looking for one of these then.

Available colors: Alpinweiss uni, Saphirschwarz metallic, Havanna metallic, Silverstone II metallic, Spacegrau metallic, Imperialblau Brillanteffekt metallic, Singapur Grau Metallic Sakhir Orange, and San Marino Blau.

Let's Do The News! (May 6, 2013)

(cheers and applause)

JC: So, how's it compared to the previous two Iron Man films?

RH: Well, this is much better than before! I also adore the new Mark 42 Iron Man suit Tony Stark rigged on the film. Adds some zest on it but this is all thrills with less drama on Iron Man 3. Gets better because by next month, Kotobukiya will release an Iron Man Mark 42 figure modeled after the actual one from the movie and it's going to be an ideal collector's item for Iron Man fans.

JC: Okay, I agree to that but do you think they're going to like Iron Man's new look?

RH: It's a YES or a NO...Not sure but let's wait for the comments to flow in about Iron Man's new look...

JC: Okay...But anyway, let's do the news! Now, Porsche, launched a new version of the 911 Turbo, here it is...

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo

JC:...3.8L twin-turbo charged direct injected flat-six, 520HP for the normal 911 Turbo, 560HP for the 911 Turbo S, available exclusively with a 7-speed PDK gearbox, and still I don't the like the looks of it if it because I need to go back to EO again for some eye checkup...

(audience laughing)

RH: EO again? Why do you keep referring to the Himmel EO stuff from the Ridge Racer games?

JC: Because both of these had their engines mounted to the back!

(audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, Chevrolet's new generation Silverado, not yet on sale until late Summer, now comes with an additional grade that combats against the Ford F150 Platinum called the High Country. Here it is...

2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country

(wow)

RH: Wow, looks old-school to me about this kind of Silverado. Kinda like it though...

JC: For me, um...nope.

(audience laughing)

RH: Well, you're the mommy. He he he...

JC: Indeed it is because by the looks of it, this new Silverado looks squarish and too bulky. Too bad you can only get one in North America because big pickups are the kings here and we're a bit too sophisticated for those kind of trucks.

JM: Seems those who had a stetson in their heads are allowed to drive those and I might be guessing those kids of those who had one might be having Apple Jacks for breakfasts...

(audience laughing)

JC: I don't like Apple Jacks...I'll go for... Rainbow Dashes...

(audience laughing)

JM: Good thinking, Jeremy! What?!

(audience laughing)

JC: Okay, now I was getting a bit bothered about that necklace Clara Oswald's wearing on Doctor Who and this is the third time she wore this mysterious looking necklace those girls wanted to had. First, we saw this kind of necklace in The Bells of Saint John, and then later on, she wore it again on The Rings of Akhaten, and now, we saw her wearing her necklace again at the end of The Crimson Horror episode. Any idea what that is?

(murmuring)

JM: Um...Jeremy, are you trying to woo the ladies thinking that they'll be going on a scavenger hunt to find the clothes Clara wore on those Doctor Who episodes?

(audience laughing)

RH: What about the red bag she carries from The Rings of Akhaten and Hide?

(audience laughing)

JC: That's a questionable one because it has to be as squarish as the ones most Japanese schoolgirls are carrying but has to be so RED...it might get itself sucked by Marcy...

(audience laughing)

RH: Who's Marcy?

JC: Marcy. You know, Marceline, the vampire queen from Adventure Time...

(audience laughing)

RH: Jeremy, since when did you got hooked on Adventure Time?

JC: Uh...some time ago...

(audience laughing)

JC: I also like the Lady Rainicorn character...

JM: Is it the one who speaks Korean?

(audience laughing)

JC: Indeed. I like Adventure Time. Can't believe there are so many adults getting hooked on this show and I can't believe HOT TOPIC sells some Adventure Time merchandises like this...Jake the Dog headphones, Jake the Dog earphones, BMO baseball hat, some T-shirts, some stuff toys that looked like Finn and Jake, so on, so forth.

RH: Can't believe you're getting hooked on this show...

JC: You Mr. Hammond, your time is almost up. You got days ahead before some P&F stuff. Get yourself ready!

(Audience laughing)

JC: Anyway, that's the end of the news...Japanese version of MLP, TV Tokyo tomorrow morning. Don't forget unless there's a way to watch some Japanese TV...

Iron Man 3

Iron Man 3

After getting ourselves wasted from last year's The Avengers, it's business as usual for the (currently owned by Disney) Marvel to pool in as much sequels as they can and this year, we seen Iron Man and Thor getting sequels for 2013. But first, let's talk about the third installment of the heavy hitting Iron Man film.

In Iron Man 3, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr) gears himself once again as the venerable Iron Man and would you look at that. Seems that Iron Man's getting himself a new look for the third film! No longer the Mark 7 Iron Man as seen in the previous two films and also last year's Avengers but the one Tony Stark equipped for Iron Man 3 is the new Mark 42 suit. Seems that the production team really knows how to make some drastic changes for Iron Man around here and this new Mark 42 Iron Man suit really hits the spot but here in the third installment, it's not the suit that matters, it's the man who's risking everything.

Villains are everything but a major high-level threat against Tony Stark but for 3, there's a new enemy called The Mandarin and as any Marvel comics fan might tell you, this mysterious terrorist, the one Iron Man faces against, is the kind of baddie who wields power from his own intelligence. However, there are some major differences from this kind of villain. In the comics, The Mandarin is half-Chinese, born to a rich Chinese father and an English aristocrat. Here, he has no Chinese connections but dons his hair in a bun and has oriental-looking robes. Still, he's a sinister threat to the world and with Stark cut off from technology, only his willpower can unmask The Mandarin's evil plans.

The movie may lack some thrills from the previous installments but the storyline is epic indeed. This movie feels like you've been riding yourself at the world's most deadliest rollecoaster but with all the added fanservice that will keep this movie answer the demands of many Marvel fans. The film's director, Shane Black, sure knows where to put his money where it matters and this result to some high-speed thrills that sends them all the way to the edge of the atmosphere and with the pulse-pounding performance of both Downey, Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Ben Kingsley, this movie can't go wrong. There are so many reasons why to watch Iron Man 3 but there is only one; IT'S THE BEST IRON MAN FILM EVER, YET. This film is a heavyweight iron champion, it's heavy in effects, it's heavy on the epic storyline, and it's a champion for Marvel for creating the best Iron Man experience fans can get.

Doctor Who S07E11

The Crimson Horror

The eleventh episode of Doctor Who Series 7 sees the return of one of The Doctor's allies such as Madame Vastra, her cohort Jenny, and a Sontaran named Strax, for the third time! Surprisingly, the mother-daughter tandem of Diana Rigg and Rachael Stirling guest starred on this episode. 

I may not gonna tell you what happened on this episode but I had to say that was the best. It's a plus one to Sherlock's Mark Gatiss who wrote this episode and the fun part is where Strax asked the boy for some directions to to the dreaded Sweetville and then the boy told directions in a sat-nav kind of way. Kinda scratched my head that the boy who said the directions to Strax really ringed a bell. Oh yeah!

Anyway, it's a fun episode and in the end, it's worth noticing.

Next week, Cybermen! In NIGHTMARE IN SILVER. In the meantime, check out the BTS footage from this week's episode.

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 51

Now, before we begin this segment where another set of five driving musics are featured on this randomly generated segment, I have some breaking news...

Remember last time that we're trying to figure out the song heard from the Chevrolet Trax commercial? Seems that the South China Morning Post figured out that the song heard from the recent Chevy Trax commercial, which we figured it out as Parov Stelar's Booty Swing, has some racist remarks saying that China refers to "the land of Fu Manchu" a place in which the girls sing "ching, ching, chop-suey."

To address this situation, Chevy revised the Trax commercial with having the questionable lyrics omitted. Good thing most of you already got your hands to this song before this one took effect, you know what I'm saying? Anyway, on to the segment! (Besides, the Chevrolet Trax is not yet available in China, you know)

5) Take A Walk (M Machine Remix) by Passion Pit - from the Renault Scenic XMOD commercial

4) Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi - from the '92 Kia Sephia Korean ad

3) Something for the Pain by Bon Jovi - from the 1995 Nissan Terrano Japanese ad

2) It's My Life by Bon Jovi - either from a Mitsubishi commercial or a GM Daewoo Rezzo commercial...

1) Born Slippy by Underworld - from the 2001 Toyota Will VS commercial

And there you have it folks. Another set of five driving musics offered just for you. If you have any questions, feel free to leave some comments below!

The fat and the furriest

Now everytime when normal people wanted to get rid of fat, their only hope for weight loss is by exercise, proper diet, weight loss pills, so on, so forth. But in 2008, the year when The Doctor (who was David Tennant back then) and Donna Noble reunited for Season 4 of BBC Doctor Who, the only thing they remember on the Season 4 episode titled "Partners in Crime" was those cute little critters called Adipose. These "adiposes" were made out of human fat and whoever took a ominous weight-loss pills distributed by some sinister company called Adipose Industries may get their lives dissolved into several adiposes.

No matter how old you'd watched that episode several times, in case you had the Doctor Who Season 4 DVD with you, you'd promised yourself that "it's okay to be fat" as long as you're thinking that you had a bunch of super cute aliens lurking in your body. Your main confession as a Whovian is when every time when someone mentions a new diet, you think of these guys. So, if every Whovians says awwww to the super cute but incredibly deadly critties, why would anyone want to have one at home? Tsk. Many had tried to make fanmade Adipose plushies for keeps but due to interests, a toymaker named Underground Toys took the memo and made one of these...

And this might do the trick. This is the genuine, the proper, the handcrafted, Adipose plushie from Underground Toys and it's a huggable one because it was modeled after the actual Adipose creature as seen on the 2008 season of Doctor Who.

At first glance though, it kinda looks like an enlarged marshmallow. Looks like it came from another world filled with cute aliens. Anyway, forget about that and about this stuff toy.

Every single piece of this stuff toy is an inch perfect and as for me, this is the "only" proper Adipose plushie for those who want to want a snuggle, a hug, and a kiss with these critters made out of human fat. Well, forget about the kissing part but you get the idea.

Scanning with The Eleventh's sonic...

Now this little critter's taking the sonic...

We asked P&F about this and the only reply I'm having was... "Well it was definitely cuter than the Meap"

Meap? Never mind but still, the Adipose is much more cuter than Meap.

Welcome to Fat Heaven!

The Adipose in my workspace.

So, there you have it folks. That's everything I have to know about this super cute creature from BBC Doctor Who. All I can say is that this is the best plushie I ever had not only because it's cute on the outside but this is just inch ahead of being a Whovian. If you ever see one of those Adipose plushies on sale, be sure to buy one of these and give those critters made of human fat some good hugging.
