They might not be return Apple customers, either. I was charged $200 for a replacement screen taken "from an old floor demo" in back. Care to guess what I'm not getting when my contract is up?

If the benchmarks are right, I can't wait to see how iOS5 runs on "free" 3GS phones with less than half the power.

It might have something to do with race drivers being horrible passengers.

Just the opposite of Tom. My current daily driver is a 2005 Tacoma PreRunner (Regular cab, four-cylinder, five-speed - probably one of one ever configured that way in this generation.) What I'll probably replace it with if I ever trade is a Ford Flex.

Good and always overlooked point. The planes used by the Blue Angels and the Thunderbirds are among the oldest in use. They get aircraft that would otherwise go to Davis-Monthan, and that's where they will wind up when their tour with the demonstration units is completed.

That is an ex-parrot.

"Any shop that turns away work because "shops wont touch the V8s due to the transmission not being able to cope" is a load of crap. I never turned away paying work, even if I knew it was only buying time. I consulted with the customer and told them that the problem was known, there was no permanent fix and that they…

Really? The guy emailing you about his phone number appearing in a Dodge ad is what you're hanging your hat on? I'd slot writing that up and calling Chrysler PR for a comment somewhere below a first drive report, but maybe I'm just an asshole.

Concern troll is trolling. Isn't that how the kids put it?

No, no, no. The quintessential AJ Foyt interview was at the 1982 Indy 500, after Kevin Cogan took him out at the starting flag. Chris Economaki (who should have known better) came up to AJ as he walked back to the garage and asked, "AJ, what happened out there?" To which AJ replied, "He hit my goddamn car, that's…

So this four minute clip is the first time you've ever seen an assembly line at work - and you've already figured everything out?

For the new lottery winner this dealer is offering the FXX as part of a six pack of ultra-exotics. For $9 million you also get a 2008 Veyron, 2008 Reventon, 2003 Enzo, 2008 Koenigsegg CCX, and a 2000 Mercedes CLK GTR Super Sport.

You had me until "straighten the frame". Correcting the aluminum monocoque on the NSX is legendarily difficult. Try it in your garage and you'll only make it a lot worse or destroy it. Find a shop with the equipment and experience to do it and your $17K track car just became a $25-30K track car.

Nearly six hundred replies and no one mentioned Sterling? They were fucking up Honda's twenty years before Honda decided it was a great way to run a company. How can you get cooler than that?

I've got a soft spot (located a couple inches above my left eyebrow) for the first generation Bentley Continental GT. Glorious car and something I'd gladly take as a daily driver for the rest of my days, but under the (Connolly) skin it's a twin-turbo, W12, AWD Volkswagen. It's like the Rubik's Cube of shit that can…

I think you're missing part of the picture. Angry Birds, email and websurfing is what most people do on a tablet because that's about all you can do. Business adaptation of the tablets has been slowed because you have to rewrite your software to run on an Android or iPad, and the limitations of the hardware often…

I don't think you've priced the C30 lately. The base C30 is at $25, the R-design that compares best against the ST is just over $27, and Volvo's option list is most likely going to be a lot longer.

Garage Journal? Kiss this morning's productivity goodbye.

You're wrong. Polling of self-identified Republicans and conservatives show a clear majority do not believe that global warming is a man-made phenomenon. A Pew survey last year showed 53% of Republicans do not even believe there is evidence of global warming. Nearly 60% believe that scientists do not uniformly agree…

"Have you checked the prices for SAS HDDs?" Yeah. had to buy one for a client last week. They're not as bad as you make it out. A 1TB Seagate Constellation goes for $150. That's more than a SATA drive, to be sure, but it's not crippling like in the old days of SCSI.
