I listened to this story on KFI all day yesterday, and nobody mentioned what kind of car it was. Thanks, Jalopnik for this very important piece of information.

@ɹǝʌoɹ ǝƃuɐɹʇs: Monsieur Lavoisier seems to have disappeared, but if I may "fill in" for him, allow me to say, "nice price".

Monsieur Graverobber, I feel compelled to remind you that a rusting object does not lose weight, but instead gets heavier.

@Roberto G.: I also came here to make a "lifted suspension" comment, but yours already took the cake.

1. CTS-V

Hopefully we get some good Lawrence of Arabia references.

@Spencer: It was a damn good car, too.

I'm pretty sure number 8 is not an SPG. They never came stock with directional wheels. I think it's a European model T16 Aero or some other special edition. SPGs all had the iconic SPG wheels, shown here.

@GreenN_Gold: Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke

@email04blogs: You lost me at "indoctrinating people via the college system." The only reason I sympathize with, and indeed admire, actions like Mr. Roberts' is because of what I learned while pursuing my degree in history.

@alexio: So, "Guilty until proven innocent" sounds like a good idea to you?

Way cool. I had been aware of these, but I always thought they were more of a publicity device. I didn't realize they were a common piece of equipment ant many major airports-that's awesome!

@AustinMiniMan: Oops.

Over-the-top bolt-on factory rice: Awesome on a Mercedes, fail on a Saab.

@JasonsRobot: I have a leg injury and walk with a limp. I am offended by how you equate 'lame' with 'bad', or 'undesirable'. I'm going to go kill myself, and it will be all your fault.

@JasonsRobot: Oh, you mean kind of like this?

@adamsank: -heart click-

@nutbastard: -heart click-

@Dancing Milkcarton: It is pretty bad, isn't it? At least it's handsome on the outside. I can tell you it looks better in person than it does in photos.

@Totalfixation: I notice that you haven't read this article or any of the other half-dozen articles on this subject this week. The ICE does, at times, directly power the wheels.
