I'd have to go with the 1894 Benz Velo, the first production automobile. 4 wheels, internal combustion engine... practically every production car since uses the same cliché formula.

Those maps are pretty well useless. If you live in a metropolitan area then you'll probably have coverage, if you live in a rural area you probably won't. If you live somewhere in between you're not going to get a reasonable answer from a map of the entire country.

I hate Gmail Labs' "Default Reply to All" so much... I use it because it's the only option, but I prefer a different logic. Gmail Replies "To:" the sender and CC's everyone else, effectively downgrading anyone who was in the "To:" box of the original message/thread. In my opinion, that's poor etiquette. Recipients…

Required or not, if I was on facebook I would "like" the hell out of Jalopnik for RWB Porsche porn.

What exactly were they testing? Range? Top speed? Time it takes for a crowd of people to get videos of a camouflaged car to the press?

Not sure my employer would appreciate me modding the office key. Otherwise this looks like an excellent method for tidying up a keyring and making it more comfortable to carry around.

That commercial always cracks me up, "I'm Tom Kruse, inventor of the Hoveround" almost certainly inserted for no other reason besides false name recognition.

My father set his GPS to use a female voice with a British accent... he calls it "Her Majesty".

That pretty much explains the weird pseudo stalker self-important narcissistic lonely awkward attention seeker vibe I've gotten from Google+ Circles.

Actually, I'm DB Cooper.

I once knew a guy who liked showing off in his ol' muscle car. One day he side-stepped the clutch and took a loud, smokey, hoontastic turn from a stop light only to realize he'd done it right in front of a police officer. Quick thinking he pulled straight over to the curb and by the time the officer could pull up…

Interesting note, the market share gained by Hyundai is nearly identical to that lost by Honda... This is due to a technique, pioneered by Burger King, of strategically located dealers. Most of those sales were due to Honda customers not realizing they had wandered on to the Hyundai lot.

If I drove a '70 Plymouth Valiant then the answer would be '55 Peterbilt 281... but I don't.

Funny, I was just reading earlier about a rig that tops out at 15 mph.

New Alabama album to follow shortly.

I'm just glad this was posted here so I didn't have to drive downtown to see it.

Don't underestimate the finely honed skills of the experienced idiot, my brother-in-law spent the better part of a Saturday attempting a brake job on a Mk III Jetta... that was AFTER he lured his German-Car-Tuning-Shop owning buddy over to help. The big hold-up: they had no idea how VW got that rotor so tightly…

Guns and Badges have this in common: The people who misuse and abuse them do a great disservice to those who respect the privilege.
