The real future will have charging strips down the middle of highway lanes and you just charge while you drive.

If Smug Bastard was really all that and Caddy was totally hip to the self-centeredness of its clientele, he'd just charge the car by parking it on the magnetic induction pad in his garage, no messing about with cords required.

I rather enjoyed owning one. They can be had pretty cheap nowadays, just watch out for tranny problems and engine seals. When in good order, they're quite pleasant to drive.

I know it. Truly a different era.

The big famous failure:

Oh QOTD, it's a love-hate thing with you isn't it? I love the fact that you give me another chance to post about the Subaru SVX, but I hate that you rub my nose the fact that it was a big market failure for Subaru. I'll just point out that Edsel sold nearly three times as many cars in one year than Subaru sold SVXs…

That's about it. It was pretty clear where the list was headed yesterday, which is why I took it in a different direction with school bus, what with all those windows and usually being in a public area and being frequently full of kids.

"The state legislature, years ago, recognized having distinct roles for auto manufacturers and dealers fosters competition in the marketplace and provides consumers with a system of checks and balances to ensure that warranty and service issues are administered fairly," he said in an email.

JK: Australia's Holden is being closed as a manufacturing base. What does that portend for the Holden Commodore-based Chevrolet SS? It seems to fill a need. MR: It does fill a need. I don't know how we're going to sell it. What's going to happen with it now that we've announced [Holden manufacturing is] gone? It's…

Hey, it is a boat show. Looks like they put an anchor on the back too.

Hehe...

Must be the quotation marks...yeah lets go with that.

"Not in front of the kids!"

I'm curious about the club here. I saw another one with two arrows and a red diamond in this spot. What's the meaning behind it?

That's some crazy-ass green snow. Is that something only rich people get?

No jokes here, that is not fun and six people have died in related crashes. What's happening? The weight of the key ring, coupled with a rough road, can cause the ingestion switch to turn of. Oh, yeah, and the airbags then might not work.

Neutral: Anyone in the market for a Veyron? How much of a discount would it take for you to buy one?

Depends on if you're trying to lose weight.

I dunno, I see a hell of a lot of Tacomas and Tundras and Titans (T is for Truck!) pretty much everywhere. That's a whole ballgame that Honda doesn't even try to play in.

Like Glenn, I just don't C it.
