At first glance, I actually thought it was a Nissan Juke competitor.

This guy is WAY too enthusiastic for a middle-age balding guy.

The concept of "land ownership" is over-rated - do you really own the land?

Great write up. Although this also applies to other "glamorous" occupations such as professional sports players, movie stars, and your favorite band members. Life isn't remotely as easy as it seems for these people.

Reminds me of this

As much as I hate tourists blocking the roads, I hate people who talk/text right inside the subway station stairs. Same with groups who walk 5 people wide. It's not a marching band dammit.

Personally it's a lot easier to eat from the box - I can just close the box if I want to save it for later, and I don't need to sit to eat from a box.

Or maybe BMW didn't get to spend enough money to have more say in the race - perhaps Ganassi didn't want BMW to stick its head in the team's operations.

Peugeot EX1: Wheel?

Speed bumps?

I think developing a mentality that you do not have to "keep up with the Joneses" can be very financially advantageous. Don't feel left out if everyone at work goes out and blow $5 on lattes and $15 for a salad. Don't feel pressured to fork over $128 for that orchestra Broadway ticket just to join your co-workers.…

Or maybe you can just make some espresso and then chuck ice in them. Yeah that ruins the espresso but I think that's one way to get ice coffee.

"I Drove An Ariel Atom Killer Built From Spare Parts"

Yeah I definitely grasp the sentiment that stupidity will somehow trump systems that attempt to overrule such stupidity at all car owners' expense.

You hear these stories ALL THE TIME - how about car manufacturers start putting in an alarm that will be triggered when you exit your car with keys out of the ignition, while any seat belt is still tightened? (like the one when you shut off your car, leave the keys in, and open the door) I know it'd be another…

I think there should be one unified set of rules that mandate ALL pre-paid/contract phones can be unlocked upon request after a certain period of time after it was marketed (say, 6 months), and CANNOT be unlocked before that time.

The cheapest unlimited data plan for smart phones is $30/month. I doubt you're saving much money.

Feels like BMW's "The Hire" with a worse story line.

"Graduate school, for example, is overcommiting..."

I think it simply means "add salt to your personal taste", since everyone has a different tolerance for salt.
