Right, and I won't deny that one bit - like I said, at the tender age of 16 I drove one for a 60 mile round-trip on two lane highways. Rather, I drove a GN - not a GNX - and when you gave it the beans, the damn thing moved.

I'm going out on a bit of a limb here, but IMO the Thunderbird is an overall better sorted out car. And mere mortals can afford it, it BLOWS. MY. MIND. that someone would pay that much for a tarted up Regal. I mean it's a hell of a car, but you could have a Thunderbird SC for a DD and have a '94-'96 Camaro SS for a…

Well, see, you hit the problem on the head. A hipster was involved. Anything involving a hipster will generally end in violence as nobody can stand them - even themselves.

Dumbasses can wreck anything in a drag race. I once saw a dumbass torque steer a '88-ish Escort GT into another car on a - let's say - less than legal drag. I wish I would have thought to yell WHY DID YOU TURN? but alas, it was many years ago.

My guess is one of two things: Overboosting or nitrous. It seems to happen right at the meat of the powerband, and that's really the only thing that would make sense. He seems to be off a little on his line, but he's off from the start - so you'd think that would have got him from the start.

I have two jobs, so 60. I'll be honest, it's not easy, but it's easier to manage than when I was working 60-70 at one job alone. I dropped the main job down to 40 solid, and then got a combination of bored and needing more money so I picked up the second job.

That would be funny, considering I'm 6 foot 2 and built like a defensive lineman. Hence, that's why it generally works for me.

STOP THE PRESSES: GLASS IS BREAKABLE.

HATERS GOONA HATE

My mother is an old North Dakotan, and up there they do things a little differently. She's also one of the most cool headed and tolerant people I've ever met - and probably one of the smartest. She has a saying, and I keep having to tell myself it:

I'd like to see how this plays out as I'm on the fence between iPad 2 and "new" iPad to upgrade my original iPad. I'm not necessarily keen on the additional charging time for the new, plus I'd really like something a little lighter than my original - so the 2 is winning.

Agreed. I rather miss the fun Gizmodo.

Well, I go back and forth on it not being allowed. Here's the difference, Android is the operating system for the phones, not the phones themselves. DoJ would have a rather tough time trying to bring antitrust on it.

I don't know, frankly I believe Facebook's IPO to be the most overvalued in history - and we still don't really know what it is yet.

Honestly? The smart move would be buying Google. I mean they easily can, and it would be brilliant. They in one fell swoop take down their fiercest competitor and acquire the other half of the brightest minds in silicon valley.

I completely forgot to mention the 4wd capability of my truck, which is also terribly endearing to me. I was pretty blown away as while mine has the LSD and new tires, with the real transfer case, the tires are the horrible Wrangler RT/Ses. Yet the first time I gave it a bootfull in the snow it took off like it got…

In my first comment I totally missed the real worst surprising vehicle ever. It's now easy - a 1996 Dodge Intrepid ES with the 3.5. When they first came out for 93, when I was 16, I kept reading how awesome they were. You know, real european styling, amazing 215 horsepower, great interior, you get the idea. When…

My current vehicle is really high up on the list. 2003 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4 with the good V8, the 4.7, and the five speed auto. Before buying it the only drive I took in it was subdued and it felt powerful enough. As odd as it sounds I had no idea what motor it had before pickup - long story - so I had been hoping…

1999 Prowler vs 1985 Monte Carlo SS, eh? That's kind of like Syphilis vs Gonorrhea. I MEAN SERIOUSLY. Either a malaise era travesty that in it's most potent form had all of 190 wheezing horsepower, or a malaise wanna-be that looked amazing but was built of plastic ready to fail, and had a V6 from a car that should…

Agreed on the new Camaro in any form. Lately during shopping I had to try one because, seriously, on paper the thing looks awesome. Looks wise, it looks awesome. Then I drove it.
