Over the Top and a Little Too Far

I put up with the endless runway (was it a Möbius strip?) in Fast 6. That alone should prove I have a very high tolerance for movies that really put the concept of "suspension of disbelief" to the test. The Fate of the Furious, however, had more than a few moments that left me unable to suspend my disbelief. A movie about cars should not have a whole scene showing 10-year-old cars being controlled autonomously (I specifically remember seeing 2005-ish Volkswagen Jetta in a World War Z zombie swarm of driverless cars). Even most cars being produced in 2017 would not have this capability. Also, why would Jeep/Chrysler want their cars prominently featured in a scene involving a hacker taking control of cars in order to create mass destruction and chaos? Just a thought, and I digress. There are more unbelievable moments in the movie, nothing out of the ordinary for a Fast and Furious movie though (winning a race in reverse, anyone?). It's great dumb fun, as always, and if you don't care about all the physics and reality breaking nonsense it's a wild ride. For me though, it feels as if the Fast and the Furious franchise has finally jumped the shark, or should I say submarine? I will say this though, this one scene near the end of the movie involving Jason Statham and a baby was worth the price of admission alone.

it’s hard to level any complaints at F1 2017. It’s one of the best simulation racing games around, with the one caveat being that you probably have to be a fan of F1 to enjoy it.

How to Build Brick Cars by Peter Blackert a book to build lego models without having to buy the whole lego set. The book has instructions to build a BMW I8, Porsche 911, the Bugatti Veyron, and many other cars. The pictures are clear, the instructions are also clear, concise and easy to understand. There is a good selection of cars to try. Each set of instructions has a list of which pieces are needed. The instructions are not necessarily color specific, so if you don't have blue, then it can be done in red.

Cards Against Humanity Style (1 more)
Easy to play
It's Like Cards Against Humanity meets a comic book strip. You can make up a story with what the cars you play to really convince the judge that this would happen or is the funniest. Really is a barrel of laughs. I think a Hidden Gem of the game is after telling me up how many cars everyone has, the car is actually make another comic book strip.
