Had a nice drive through the Stellenbosch Winelands to pick up a strut from a scrapyard for my car...
The auto place fucked up the inside of my top mount when they didn't tighten the nut. Got tired of their shit after the 5th time going back.
Just ripped a whole strut off a scrapped car, now I can rebuild mine again with the little inner top plate from the scrapyard. Also scored a few odds and ends of worn parts in my car that the scrapped car had nicer ones of.

I imagine your car as one of these ...

Yah I remember someone who knows something about cars (as distinct from meee) that that was some pretty movie bullshit. There needs to be a massive lever marked "change compression ratio" ... and once Volvo did build a busy little 4-cylinder with variable compression ... big servos moved the crankshaft up&down relative to the head ... thing sounded like a seagull on meth ... oh look! Carpet!!!

I have actually gone and looked at a couple of Lancias over the years... Just sexier models...
My one high school GF's mom drove an HF Integrale that belonged to Serge Damseaux.

My idea of a beautiful scenery around the sea normally shows no sign that humans even exist.
That was like a montage of when you are on acid and go to the carnival, and instead of everything looking cool and bright, you see how tired the clowns and cleaners are of their act. they paint chipping off the rides, and noisy kids throwing up. Yeah, I'm waiting for my day's crazy pills to kick in. they are 24-hour release, so my chemistry changes based on the time of day.

I see your point! It is a very touristy beach with unruly insensitive children, bums picking from the trash can to scatter trash on the beach and homeless people trying to scam on you by physiological instigating violent rhetoric. I’m impressed you felt the vibe.

You'll have to head north of Malibu and points beyond to get a better beach experience

They said in the commentary that it was total BS just done for coolness factor or whatever. The commentary is pretty good, they talk a lot about how certain scenes or effects were done or about filming the movie in general.
