This won't be a popular opinion here, but I'll stand by it nonetheless.

It's all good here, folks. Nothing to see. Just a couple of bad apples and we tossed them in the trash along with plans for the redesigned Pontiac Aztec.

There's the bigotry we were looking for.

Salivating at the thought of getting to read the Gawkertariat's thoughts on what an audit committee does. Please, please deliver.

Controlling for some exceptional periods from 1974-1981, t's almost exactly the mean inflation rate since 1946.

We really could have given this spot to any of the DaimlerChrysler-era Mercedes failures but today it will go to the W203 C-Class coupe. It was Mercedes-Benz's failed attempt at selling a cheap hatchback coupe for America, one of the least hatchback friendly nations on Earth. Not to mention that these cars weren't…

It says 17% over 7 sears, or near as makes no difference to 2.5% annually, which is a pretty standard long-term growth rate.

Can you imagine retiring with a full pension after only contributing for 10 years? And it's not like the LIRR has a history of multimillion-dollar pension fraud, or anything.

It's the kind of image you project. The CGT is perpetually nouveau-riche. The S-Coupe, ostentatious as it may be, projects much more subtly than does the CGT. It's for a different kind of image buyer.

wat.

German transmission company ZF has taken over the market with advanced, awesome gearboxes that are in everything. Now they're hoping to take over everything else with a proposed bid for U.S. company TRW Automotive holdings. http://online.wsj.com/articles/trw-a...

Patrick: it's disappointing when you post the best answer with the question, thus precluding it from the AOTD. Stop it!

Because it's how they function at their factories in Europe and I think they have a great deal of unease about the disparity in employment relations between their different locations, regardless of their beliefs about unionism.

It's about the ability to keep them around in small numbers if citizens so choose. It's also about the capriciousness of anything deemed "for the greater good".

The danger, especially with his intonation, is a society that requires all transportation to be autonomous, precluding the ability to simply "go for a spin" in your fun car.

So the only way to enjoy a vehicle will also be the most cost-prohibitive? I'm all for smearing the proletariat, but that seems a tad inequitable to the poors.

But that's not the way Brin and his army of engineers, developers, and cheerleaders see it. They look at the world of cars with distain – an outmoded system that needs to be torn down and rebuilt in their idealistic vision. And everyone has to be on board for it to work.

Why would you care about who drives this shitty old cheap smoker? Nothing special about it. If it was new or rare and cost half a million more there might be a reason to care about who drives it. Stupid peasant wanker douchebag.

Boarding is first-come-first-served based on check-in time.
