Ah, but when combined with Beef, it becomes a delicious ramen-combo (ram-com) that cannot be denied.

As a Lions fan, meOUCH.

Chicago is a real mixed bag, depending on where you live.

I test-drove an Abarth coupe in Chicago. The experience was the definition of "mixed bag."

+10 if that's a reference to The Art of Racing in the Rain, because that book murdered me in the best way imaginable.

I noticed the optically-centered "1" as I went to bed last night and thought "MAN, I hope Jesus sees this."

I considered these two cars for nearly 3 months this winter, and ended up with... A 128i (6MT).

The actual article was just as good, if not better.

I'd argue that the exception to #4 is the 1st-gen Civic Hybrid. So far it's been the best of the bunch, at least somewhat fun to drive, and it came with a 5MT.

Allow me to give a quick shout-out to the BMW N52. One of the main reasons I got my 128i was because the days of the NA I6 are very numbered (as are the days of hydraulic steering and a proper handbrake, but I digress).

Amen. At a wedding last year, the reception hall was split between the wedding I was attending and a memorial for a Celtic poet (replete with kilts and bagpipers). Well into the evening, I found myself hitting on a bagpiper in the hallway, and asked her to play for our reception. She and about half the band (with the…

Sounds good to me! The only REAL feature I wish Apple would copy from Samsung/Android is the weather sealing from the Galaxy S4 Active. That's a killer feature, especially considering the fact that it adds minimal bulk.

The 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. It may only have had 93 hp (new), but with the 5-speed manual and a set of regular tires, it was great! The whole car weighed less than 3000 lbs, and the regenerative brakes could push the tail out in the corners.

1995 Chevy Tahoe 2-door. There isn't as much room in there as you'd think—but there's enough.

Get 'em Frauenfelders! I'd change the title of this post to "L.A. TSA needlessly slut-shames the RIGHT 15-year-old girl." This kind of abuse needs to be shut down, and I can't imagine a better crew to fight it than BoingBoing. This probably happens all the time, but most people wouldn't think to complain—see most of…

I've considered replacing the hollow bracelet on my Exp. II with a SEL one, but haven't yet. You kind of get used to the tinnyness!

Beautiful watch! Is that a riveted bracelet, I see?
