@WitDickman: You know what I got for Christmas? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." Alright? So go home and cry to your Daddy. Don't cry here, okay?

@leicester: I like the pics. Shifting from the passenger seat, I was always my dad's "automatic gearbox" back in the good old days.

The first sporty hybrid?

So we can sue Mahindra to get what we want? Awesome.

@$kaycog*5000*: Ken Miles was robbed... ROBBED!

@Turboner: Lol. So I'm guessing you've never been to France, then?

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

@burglar: Agreed. Do you also listen to Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, and The Minus 5? If not, I'd seriously suggest taking a look at their catalog as well as the intertwined history of the four bands. Interesting stuff.

@brandegee: The open-top Nanos enable one to strike a dramatic pose when they see something amazing on the tour.

Apparently, there is some dispute on the web as to whether or not Kern County's "We'll Kick Your Ass" cars were real or Photoshopped. I live in Bakersfield and can tell you that the slogan was very, very real. Also, the K9 cars read "We'll Bite Your Ass".

@Ash78, lay them straight: There are no words for how much I love that album.

@burglar: Walked around downtown? Did you assassin down the avenue?

Is that a MySpace style self-shot of Musk at the top of the article? Oh God, I think it is.

@wkiernan: You asked for it!

@VIn: You want to ruin their day? Ask them about where the BMW emblem came from (blah blah, propeller, blah blah). After they're done explaining it, show them a picture of a Bavarian flag and walk away.

@alfasud: Somebody needs to promote this comment.

I know I'm not the first to mention Saab, but I think I can supply a justification for Saab owners' incessant rambling about their cars:

Wait a second... I always thought that was the Red Elephant. I've seen pictures of (what looks like) the same car referred to as "Roter Elefant", and that's what I've always called it. Were they sister cars, or just the same car given two different nicknames?

Seriously, who listens to anybody who writes their emails in Arial?
