Crack pipe.

Good to know it wasn't just me who noticed that.

The Bullitt Mustang that someone posted earlier.

I'm torn... but this is definitely one of my top two.

Bidding is up to $90,000. Someone sees value in it.

It'll happen. I'd bet money on it. The only question is will it happen before or after a terrorist puts a bomb on a high speed train.

You really think the TSA wouldn't be installed in the high speed rail stations, like they are today at airports?

Do we need more temporary, unskilled, government, labor jobs? Because let's be honest- those are the bulk of jobs that an initiative like this will create. For every highly skilled engineer or controller, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of unskilled manual labor jobs.

Yes, but it's not necessarily going to solve all the problems. For instance O'Hare Airport in Chicago has been trying to expand for, oh, 8 years now. Some homeowners took the city's offer, some didn't and had their homes seized through eminent domain. Then there were lawsuits, some of which are ongoing.

Are you really naive enough to think it's going to *stay* at half a trillion? That it'll be the first Government project to come in anywhere near the projected budget, let alone actually *on* budget?

This.

You know, you're probably right about the stops. You'll have every town/city/county/state official putting qualifiers on what gets put where, not to mention the 435 Congressmen and 100 Senators in D.C. looking for "consideration" in exchange for their vote of support. We'll end up with trains that may be…

Wait, you're saying that just because it gets built doesn't mean people will use it?

I saw this on Facebook about a week ago. The questions that I had that none of the supporters could seem to answer were things like:

Anything Will.I.Am would do to a car.

How did the 2010-2011 Lincoln MKX not make this list?

I agree with you. I think this was the better looking front end. I wouldn't call the redesign "beige"; I'd call it badge engineering, "corporate design language" gone wrong. Lincoln decided to adopt the "double waterfall" grill as its corporate identity, which means every car got the same schnoz. Even though this…

As the owner of an Explorer, I have mixed feelings about this...

Jinx, you owe me a Coke.
