Thank you $kay! Sorry I'm a day late...damn! I love my new car and PMY is one of my favorite colors. I'll trust my delivery girl right after I check her for Buzzin' Hornets!

Holy crap! My first CotD and I didn't even know about it 'til the next day!! Well, that's what 12hrs sleep in an 84hrs span gets you....and a goodly portion of that missed sleep was due to me staying up/getting up to watch the Brazilian F1 coverage and gather up a passel of quotes for all y'all. It was all worth it…

I was wondering if anybody was going to mention that. Hopping his way off to Australia 2012 no doubt.

One of my favorite things to do at the fair every year is now gone. What do I miss the most? The sound. The…

Are you using Firefox? FF for me has always sucked for large videos whereas IE with the same video would be perfectly smooth.

To be fair to VW, did Consumer Reports go back to the dealer and look at several more Passats? Maybe they got the only Passat in the country that the factory forgot to put the plastic cover onto. [jalopnik.com]

Ouch!

I figured it'd be something like that. I was going to say that I thought they made the bodies of aluminum, then I read the "Strength" specs here:

Google. Where do you get yours? They seem a bit high even if you only consider the weight limits of the roads they will travel on. I tried to base my figures on a 60 seat bus. The Blue Bird bus company shows their *largest* C-type bus as being 31,000 GVWR. Minus your load figure of 15,000 drops the empty weight…

Are you nuts?!! This is one of my top-5 best movies ever!!! It's right up there with Repo Man and Time Bandits. Try drinking a beer first next time. Several, in fact.

Of course, back then only the top six positions scored points. It would've been 8 times in the points using today's scoring. In fact, it only finished 9 races so it wasn't such a bad performer...when it finished. Compare that to the current teams...even though most cars finish the races nowadays teams such as…
