I get that '999' was the number of a famous race car Henry Ford built. But it's also the emergency services number in a bunch of countries.... And before anyone mentions the Porsche 911, that car came out long before 9-1-1.

Just saw one the other day. Owner looked like he fit that demographic.

I'm happy for Susan Boyle, and hope things work out for the best.

You're aware that auto company profit margins, which are around 6%, aren't all that high, right? Drug companies and Banks - that's where the REAL money is.

First step is moving from a rural, peasant economy, to an industrialized urban economy. That process is still playing out in China. We're on a car blog, and thus know that China is a booming auto market - that would've been inconceivable 40 years ago. I would posit Modern Day China = Gilded Age America. China…

What if it's totally in America's best long term interests to have China (or Mexico) become a middle-class country? After all, rich countries don't attack each other.

Some people just REALLY like salt.
