RIP, Roger Moore. And condolences to those in Manchester.

Happy Birthday, Brent!

This topic was raised last night, and our guest mentioned one of his corporations subsidiaries that might have some items of interest on the grill side of things. He was particularly proud of the counter-weighted hood, among other design features. let me know if you need any intro's. http://outdoor.hestan.com/ "The unique design of Hestan Outdoor grills (shown above) catches your eye and the price tag—$5,000 and up—stops your heart" He was also involved in the development of their smart cooking system, which might be of general interest https://www.hestancue.com/ https://www.wired.com/brandlab/2017/04/hestan-cue-bringing-intelligent-cookware-to-life/

I try to have selective memory on various US rentals I had on holiday when I lived in the U.K., as they all seemed to be variations on "sensory deprivation on wheels" compared to the UK / Euro driving experience. I do, however, have flashbacks of the very red/burgundy velour/vinyl interior of a Ford Tempo, The panel gaps and plasticy trim on an IROC Camero in florida (when gas was less than $1 / gal) and the general wallowyness of a Buick Skylark.

Jalopnik would agree with you, Naaman http://jalopnik.com/tag/k-car However ... https://www.facebook.com/chryslerkcar/
