I think they got it right (and I have no horse in this race) but that's not to say it wouldn't behoove him to hang onto the ball a bit longer next time.

Volvo wins at seats so hard. My mom's '06 V70 (which incidentally has a manual, go Mom) has vastly more comfortable seats than roughly similar vintage cars I've owned from Ze Germans (M3, S4). I was blown away.

Does anybody else think the front looks like a squashed Cayenne?


I still think it looks great though.

I'm a Seahawks fan and I agree. The rules suck.

BMW 2002.

Blake Sims? That guy DEFINITELY deserves a Reggie Cleveland award.

I came to say exactly that. Their complete refusal to throw anywhere near Sherman was clearly limiting.

I'm over 6' tall and it still takes someone really reclining a long way before I really run out of leg room. Flat out no reclining seems like a gross overstep.

I miss my M3 :(

Yup. I'm American but I've driven in the UK, Australia and Japan, and it really isn't that hard. The turn signal/wiper swap always gets me way worse than anything else.

Talented female white rapper, found. I give you Dessa:

Calmer than you are.

Fairly shortly after I moved to Seattle, I went out by myself on a Friday evening, and ended up at a bar in Belltown that had a punk show on.

Not if you're eating at Taco Bell.

I assume the first baseman didn't just trot it back to the base because he heard the safe call and decided he'd better get the lead runner at home.

Howard was in-fucking-credible, but we didn't deserve to win. The US played their hearts out, but got beat by a superior Belgian side, simple as that. Still a game to walk away from with heads high, and just getting out of that group was an accomplishment.
