![]() ![]() ![]() The High Table seems to have set the one-to-one transaction rules for coinage, as everything in the Continental costs one single coin.įrom a drink at the bar to requesting a doctor to patch up your wounds, it can be all yours for the price of the gold in your tailored pockets. And who is responsible for the Continental and the governing of this world? They are known as the High Table, which the filmmakers have described as a governing body that is older and bigger than any other in history, which explains why it operates above the law and under no jurisdiction but its own. It's responsible for keeping the coins (and those that spend them) in circulation. ![]() The Continental hotel network is also equal parts an ATM and customs for assassins passing through and in between assignments. Killing of any kind on Continental grounds is verboten and punishable by death and/or being "excommunicado" from all services and protections afforded this underworld of gun-fu enthusiasts. ![]() This adherence stems from the fact that (as we learn in John Wick: Chapter 2) the hotel network John and his fellow assassins use, The Continental, is the main banking hub for Wickbucks. and those in John Wick's line of work are mostly strict adherents of it. The act of paying with these coins provides a sense of security as even killers have a "code of conduct". More importantly, these coins exceed the value of the physical items they buy, for they act as a toll one pays to travel through and amongst this secret society with their honor and safety intact. Looking to upgrade your arsenal with a grenade launcher or six? *Places elaborately decorated gold coin here.* You want a hotel room for the night to escape the trigger-happy, vaguely European murderers on your tail? That'll be one gold coin, please. The gold coins in this culture allow these mercs and others to acquire goods and services. Everyone from contract killers to hotel concierges to doctors - even the poor (but scary-looking) guys in charge of disposing of bodies - are seemingly only paid with these special coins instead of real money. John Wick and its sequels peel back the curtain on that mythology, revealing that this shadowy world of crime syndicates and well-armed enforcers is an international agency that uses these coins as both fiscal and ethical currency within their profession. No, seriously: What's up with those gold coins? In 2014's John Wick, what audiences thought was just Keanu Reeves' version of Death Wish - centered on a mysterious assassin with a skillset that would make Taken's Liam Neeson blush - turned out to be an action movie with its own mythos when those coins show up. RELATED: Keanu's best action movies, ranked from 'The Matrix' to 'John Wick' The gritty world of John Wick is so complex, it even has its own economy - one that runs on gold coins that are often worth more than actual gold among this secret society of gun-toting, black-suited, tattooed assassins.Īs we gear up for John Wick: Chapter 4 hitting theaters next month, and with the first three films in the franchise available to stream on Peacock, here's a deep-ish dive into how the currency of John Wick's criminal underbelly works - and what's up with all those gold coins. However, there's nothing basic about the intricate world building that underpins all the fights and shootouts. The John Wick franchise is a hit with audiences in large part due to its "back to basics" approach to action films: Just show genre fans cool ways to punch and shoot bad guys and repeat. ![]()

![]() What this four-wheel-drive drivetrain sacrifices in ride and handling, especially in comparison to its all-wheel drive competition, it more than makes up for with outstanding towing capacity and off-road capability. This outstanding seven-seat SUV has a suite of the latest safety features, including collision warning with active braking, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, brake assist, and blind-spot monitoring.Ĭargo capacity: 64.7 cubic feet (seats folded down)Ī bit of an anomaly among midsize luxury SUVs, the 2018 Lexus stands out in its class due to its stout, truck-like body-on-frame construction. The cabin space on Grand Cherokee is typically well-appointed, and the package for the 2021 L rivals that of its luxury competitors. The 2021 L comes with two different engine options, three different drivetrains, and optional air ride suspension. And the staggering 6,200-pound tow rating rivals most of the titanics in the large SUV class. On the other hand, those that are out there will have state of the art technology, relatively low miles, and will have absorbed the hefty first-year depreciation that all new cars experience.īecause it’s still a Jeep and has an optional V8 engine, this longer wheelbase Grand Cherokee is the king of this class for eating up off-road terrain. Chevrolet’s excellent all-wheel drive drivetrain was an option on these model years – buyers searching for better traction in ice and snow should narrow their focus toward a Traverse with AWD.Ĭargo capacity: 84.6 cubic feet (seats folded down)īecause the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L was the first Jeep ever with three rows of seats and has only existed for two model years, there are a limited number of them available on the used car market. The 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers 281 horsepower and all trim levels have a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Traverse earned high marks for safety features, including six air bags (four side-impact airbags) and the StabiliTrak stability control with rollover mitigation technology as standard. As with most “seven-seat” SUVs, actual seats may total six if the middle row has two captain’s chairs instead of a bench seat. A true seven-passenger SUV, the Traverse offered a roomy interior, midlevel towing capability, and inspired styling that competed with some luxury SUVs of the time – all at a very Chevrolet price. ![]() The first-generation models of the Chevrolet Traverse were greeted warmly by reviewers and consumers alike. For this article we will focus on the true seven-seat SUVs on the market, as opposed to the really large SUVs, such as the Nissan Armada and Lincoln Navigator, which can be far bigger, far less fuel efficient, and more expensive.Ĭargo capacity (all seats in place): 24.1 cubic feet The first seven-seater SUV of the modern era was probably the 1990 Ford Explorer. The DNA for today’s large SUVs can be traced back to the 1930s Chevrolet Carryall Suburban, and in such vehicles as the 1963 Jeep Wagoneer and the 1969 Chevy K5 Blazer. While minivans are still popular today, especially for families with very young children, the vehicle of choice for families with somewhat older, active children is the large SUV. ![]() Soon, most car companies began producing competitive models. In 1984 the Chrysler Corporation introduced the real competitor to the station wagon, the Dodge Caravan, which would come to be known as the first “minivan.” With its taller roofline, versatile interior, three rows of seats, sliding side entrance door, and rear cargo space, the minivan was an immediate hit for families. The best of them, though not all, did it in wood-paneled style. With its long wheelbase, low roofline, massive middle seat, and long rear cargo area, the station wagon moved parents, kids, dogs, and gear to the lake house or picnics. But in the 1960s and ‘70s the station wagon was the vehicle of choice for families that could afford a larger vehicle. To look at the evolution of the family car in America is to take a nostalgic tour through some of the most iconic vehicles in history. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, what’s next for the 15 minutes of infamy will fade.

"Thinking about the amount of crew activity that goes on, thinking about the amount of operational space that a crewmember has to apply to a space station so that they can keep it up and flying and maintaining it - all those things are really important in understanding how we design our future space station."Īxiom is also taking notes directly from NASA on how to build space stations. "In doing that, it gets all our people exposed to how we actually operate and build a station that will be operable in the future," he added. "Is it going to be the microgravity research? Or is it going to be in space manufacturing, etc.? Those are the primary goals for flying these precursor missions. "It's more about making sure that we understand the needs of our future crews so that we're tailoring our space station to do those things," Zuniga said. This Axiom Space infographic lays out the company's plans to build its first space station module-by-module. (Notable exceptions include former NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson, who commanded Ax-2 and has spent more hours in space than any other American or woman, and former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría, who commanded Ax-1 and holds the record for the most spacewalks ever performed.) The TRISH investigation is one way Axiom is learning how to acclimate crews to their new microgravity environment and creating strategies to mitigate the time it takes them to adapt.Īxiom wants its space station to provide maximum value to its passengers, and one main goal of these initial crewed missions to the ISS is to determine where that value will be. Most Axiom crewmembers lack the multiple years of extensive training that NASA astronauts receive in preparation for their time in space. Physical evaluations, biological sampling and wearable devices were used to evaluate the crew's reaction and adaptation to microgravity. One research project included on Ax-2 was the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH) Essential Measures investigation, which involved a checklist of tests for the Ax-2 crewmembers to perform on themselves upon reaching orbit.
