The burner avatar and fanboi screen name should have tipped me off but I bit anyway. Ah well.

I intentionally omitted any mention of environmental impact because that argument could go in circles for eons. Like in my original post I'll ignore that and stick to the financial argument. The argument that a hybrid costs less than the average price of a car is silly. The average price includes many outliers and…

I think the Camry and the second place Accord do so well here because of the reputation earned when the domestic makers were at their peak crap building years and the DM made Germans cars extra expensive. That reputation will stick as long as people have memories of Cavaliers and Sunfires rusting and failing. When…

The cost of the Prius is the reason for the hate. There are plenty of cars just as capable of reliable, efficient transportation that also happen to be fun to drive. Mazda 2, basic Rabbit, Fiesta just off the top of my head. The marginal fuel economy gains for the Prius don't make up for the initial premium paid…

...but there's no need for Love to ape everything Garnett does.

The phone and film examples aren't good comparisons because the quantifiable results of old vs new were much more obvious. With cars, the limit is so far out of reach for most that the subjective differences outweigh the numerical. Most people don't say its the only way just the better of the two. I'm pretty sure…

Of course the wealthy districts have the means. The point of the article was making technology available to middle to lower income schools that have no shot at affording mass iPads.

Torch, are your calculations using the standard ratios or the low range settings? Either way I think this should be pretty straight forward if it's on level ground at a low sustained speed. The Toureg managed a heavier load (747's are about 300k lbs empty) without much issue. It's pretty academic result but the…

Like the Veyron SS, or the Continental SS? That was part of the joke(?) about Porsche's endless models and names.

CP. I'd wait for the Turbo SS with different paint, a slight boost in power, and iPhone5 compatibility next year.

Maybe having everything taken away and serving in prison can actually rehabilitate some one.

How to destroy your investments' resale value:

Thanks, I knew something was eerily familiar. It speaks volumes about the turnover around here that almost no one remembered this.

Your little socialism argument falls to pieces when it comes to sports. The NFL is a revenue sharing commune and the NBA and its "equality" salary cap are murdering baseball in ratings and popularity. Opinions are welcome with facts. Otherwise, please go to an ESPN blog.

Inorite? All German stuff is like bad and related to Hitler some way because of history and stuff.

You know how I know the NADA system is fucked up? They got Matt Hardigree to write a pro(ish) Tesla article. That is fucked up.
