@beehunt: That made me laugh so hard. Wonderful.

Hey Detroit,

Wait, are you saying you read a newspaper? I never thought I'd see the day a Gizmodo blogger would admit to reading dead-tree media.

@subafly: Then man up and rinse off the glass.

I think one of the ways to test if someone is a gearhead would be to look at those cuff links and see if you know what it is without being told.

@subafly: Yes, but you can refill the glass several times in an evening, and then wash it.

@SinisterBill dances the Sheik Yerbouti Tango: Seconded.

Every character in that trailer is so very irritating. If I watch this movie, I'll be rooting for monster in the sky to just eat them all, fast.

Is that Bill Nighy? Awesome!

This is why you buy old, used vehicles for modification into rockcrawlers, mud boggers and trail rigs.

I bought a $20 pair of Sony "studio monitor" headphones. For the price, I am very pleased, considering they do a good enough job I can tell whether I'm listening to 128kbps or something better.

It must be asked: How long until it breaks?

I agree very much with the Jeep Cherokee. It's been out of production for a decade and I'd rather have one of them with 100,000 miles than a brand new SUV from any other brand.

I love the part where the old man releases the brake and the SUV rolls into the police vehicle.

As a Ford shareholder, I feel a sudden need to dance a jig.

@badhatharry: I could be wrong about the following: A pressure wave cannot exceed the speed of sound, but the speed of sound depends on the medium. When you set off a bomb like that, the medium carrying the wave is compressed far more densely than regular air at sea level and so the sound moves faster. Mach 2 is…

Hmmm. Maybe I'm not so crazy for wanting to repaint my white car to be a rich, forest green.

By the time I was born, the U.S. had set off 945 nuclear devices, with most of them on American soil.
