It's imperative that I now plug "The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival". It's a rather fantastic true story of an Amur Tiger that got angry with one particular poacher, then hunted him down to his cabin, and killed him.

Don't forget that there's not a snowball's chance in hell of the RS4 Avant ever making it across the pond.

I cordially disagree.

Yep. If I ever had a choice between an AWD on all-seasons, and a RWD on a good pari of snow tires, I'd take the RWD every time.

I agree with the 1st 3/4ths of your argument, but I'm going to have to take issue with your last sentence.

TAL's a mix. I generally enjoy about half the episodes - but I have to admit - their coverage of the financial meltdown in cooperation with Planet Money is easily the best coverage of the crisis I've heard.

Come on - you know you've got to give it to this guy.

What is a Gymkhana World Tour, and how can I get one?

Ok - I fully believe that your "neighbor" is a douche - but what of the Cayenne's offroad capabilities? Given the same wheels / tires as a Toureg, does it really perform worse offroad?

I have a dream of buying a Cayenne and turning into a dedicated offroader. I'm not sure that $17K is the right price for that, but someday, I'm going to be the only guy in the mountains beating the shit out of a Cayenne.

I'll bet AWD would be possible. The C30 shares much of its engine and drivetrain with the S40 - and until 2011, Volvo sold those AWD.

Make that +2.

At the LA auto show, we sat my 6'10" brother in law in the back of one of these.

@Antediluvian: Banana Republic Factory Outlets have non-iron shirts that work pretty fantastically. I think MSRP is around $50, but they're almost always on sale for ~$30/ea.

Is it wrong that I find this kind of adorable?

@Michael Flux: So, you love the FF? Because that cat is fucking awesome.

@JRApps: What about cloning? Could we clone them?

@Wish my Sonata ran on veggies:

Why is it that Pilots seem to generally be chivalrous badasses, while airlines are apparently run by incompetent jackasses?
