What’s indisputable is that the building has some serious structural problems. To which the city says: hey, let’s fix it. And to which MGM says: nah, let’s blow it up real good and proper like. The concerned citizen of the world sides with the former, but the 12-year-old explosives enthusiast within desperately wants to see the video of the big shiny thing go bye-bye in a hale of (very carefully and safely planned out) dust and rubble.
The whole thing is tied up in courts at the moment. Please untie it quickly, sirs. It’s forever and a day until Transformers 4 comes out, and I need my fix. [LVJR via USA Today]

I suspect not so good as the Toyota Hilux. Surely if other Top Gear fans out there start making some noise and good suggestions we might get some people thinking.
