This is terrific. Tiny greenhouse areas really get my goat, too.

Yes, thanks.

I liked "CAMRARY" the best

Like others have said, there are better/more effective air registers on the market. Why don't more people have them in their homes? Same reason more people don't drive Bentleys. It's an unnecessary luxury that is more expensive than a common metal grille. You have cheap, crappy metal grilles because the person who…

I'm smitten with your analogy to a samurai sword. While the Lexus isn't the most powerful or exclusive supercar, it is an extremely special machine. Like the aformentioned swords, the LFA seems to be the product of intense passion and ingenuity. The kind of thoughfulness and painstaking rigor that is normally…

Anyone?

You are fucking brilliant. WE are fucking brilliant.

Not getting the "Birthday" set, but Ball, Tender, and Locker all share the common theme of "Meat". As in: (Meat)ball, Tender (Meat), and (Meat) Locker.

SERIOUSLY. Once I read your comment, I immediately discounted the list completely.

This is also a "hidden feature" of BMWs. Hold down the unlock-button, and the windows will roll down first, followed by the sunroof. Handy on hot days to be able to vent all that hot air before you ever get to the car!

The thing is, it isn't losing enough oil to actually matter, so I don't think of it as a pressing maintenance issue. It does cause little drops of oil to land on the exhaust manifold, releasing noxious…

Alpine A310, anybody?

Perhaps you would prefer this Lounge designed by acclaimed Finnish architect, Eero Saarinen?

I used to live in the Flinthills of Kansas. Those limestone hills are making me homesick... Lovely Z as well!

Didn't happen to be Jean Nouvel, did it? That speech sounds pretty familiar...

Mine as well, but since I attended a Midwestern school, we also had Evangelicals literally standing on soapboxes, preaching the gospel to anyone who happened to be within earshot... It was an interesting campus.

On a related note, why the jesusgoddamn don't we get the M5 Touring in America? I don't care that I'll never be able to afford a 100K BMW, but just seeing one on the roads would make at least the following 6 months worthwhile....
