@PowerTryp has a TSD Taurus: No, exploiting a loophole due to a technicality makes you an even more egregious violator of the handicapped parking space because you are consciously thinking about this loophole to justify being a dick. As someone who occasionally has to transport handicapped relatives, I'm asking you…

I like how the guy that crashed starts running back up the street but doesn't seem the slightest bit curious about the pedestrian he almost killed. Nice.

@Jim-Bob- Living in Project House Hell: we'll all miss the hot spokesmodels... but that is about it.

@vwminispeedster, pronounded Si-trow-in: Wasn't it always?

@Ray Wert: Exactly. But think of the upside for Bernie, the long term failure of Austin as a host city only means that Bernie will get to collect more fees and extract more public money in the future! Win-Win. Money now, money later, but only for Bernie.

@Nürburgring: oh I don't know about that. I'll bet that pointy front end would start to feel pretty light at anything over 60mph.

@AustinMiniMan: very well played.

@Matt Hardigree: Ahh. (duh) I should have thought of that, but I confess, I didn't. That makes more sense. I was just looking at a M-B yesterday and muttered something to myself about how busy those fog lights are with those chrome bezels and there they were on the Infiniti 'IPfreeLy' and I thought, "f-ing busy fog…

what a flagrant rip off of the M-B fog lights.

@Laurent Fignewton: NP on that 9000. I had to vote CP on this 900; I love the SPGs but $4500 is about $1500 too much.

I like the Blond in pic #9 advertising "Head".

That definitely qualifies as one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen.

@pauljones: I think (hope) he meant non-factory modified econoboxes.

@zeeboid: No kidding. How about a test drive on something that isn't perfectly smooth or turns both left AND right? Also, how long until someone finds out how far down they have to fall before they hit the gravel trap?

...and water is wet!

@Hart88: Yes indeed.

@spiegel1: Wow, I've never felt like such an optimist until I read your comment. Man, you need help. If you had asked me 10 years ago if Pontiac could have made an ass-kickin' 4 door sedan with a manual transmission, I'd have laughed and said, "that'll be the day!". I now get to look lovingly at a neighbor's G8 GT on…

I'm not surprised. Many years ago a friend of mine learned the hard way that you have to pay to replace a chunk of "Big Blue" at Watkins Glen if you stuff it. She was not happy to receive the bill on top of the repair cost to her 944 turbo (Turbo kicked in yo! Oh Sh*t! Armco!).

@Turboner: Wait, what's this fancy 'transponder' stuff? You mean there isn't an app for my iphone?

Now that's one squashed Beetle.
