@Brian, The Life of: brace for impact? Which is usually a bad idea, right?

"Totally calling it" on standard procedures... congrats.

Can you buy sandpaper by the pallet? My dad once purchased Bondo in something like a 5 gallon tub to "pretty up" an old dumptruck we had.

That bodywork is... uhmmm... really top notch. I'd say another 2 or 3 months of sanding and this lil' beauty will be ready for paint. It's too bad that his price is FIRM - this would be a great truck to trash at LeMons.

I assumed that the Lil' Red Express by Dodge was the first factory high-performance pickup.

She looks as if they have caught her by surprise.

Ken Imhoff: A challenger has appeared. Prepare yourself.

You mean the Easter Egg hunt?

A 350 lives where?

A stock STI would have probably handled the situation the same. Wait... has has a Cobb short throw shifter? My bad... that totally saved your ass, bro.

Oh... and you know that best seller called the Bible... Jesus totally dies.

... where the sound of a zipper can cause a stampede.

You fight with your gloves the whole way to the market... every trip? It must amuse the locals.

We (OTCBB: COSH) have a competetive intelligence dept that puts relevant news on an internal site along with ABD. I like just-auto.com, but I don't think it's worth a subscription.

I've only been pulled over for a supposed noise violation in my truck.

Uhmmm... OEM/Tier 1 means a parts supplier at the top of the food chain. Also, there have been a lot of bankruptcies in the supplier area in the last two years.

"Tires that wear out faster" has to be some sort of a wet dream of a request to a tire manufacturer. Trust me.

There is talk of opening a one mile track in Ohio as well. I'd really enjoy seeing something like this if it were closer. Oh, and that Camaro sounds amazing. I hope they can keep it on all four tires.

Really? I know people that work for OEM/Tier 1 manufacturers who have had their houses on the market for 5+ years and they can't move their property, even at a loss. Add to that the less than splendid pay rates that the automotive industry is known for and you've got an equation for mediocrity (at best).
