@Alfisted: Looks like someone got hit with the Ugly glove. A lot.

Napoleon complex, anyone?

I don't want to hear anything more about this vaporware unless it's non-disappointing specs or a release date.

@spiegel1: ... the nerdiest-use-of-duct-tape award. How long before the human cocoon had to be let down to go to the bathroom?

There was a recent episode of Top Gear wherein our favorite intrepid heroes went to 'Merica to test drive a Corvette ZR1, Cadillac CTSV, and Dodge Challenger SRT8.

Tomorrow's QOTD: "What would the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse drive?"

@snapoversteer's walking around eating his Triscuits: I was pleased with the amount of non-NASCAR stuff on Speed this weekend: the full 24 hours of Le Mans, and then a touring car race on Sunday morning. But why no Canadian GP? My guess is they had to do SOMETHING to keep the rednecks entertained.

@arbnpx: I re-discovered Tron this year, right after I heard about the sequel. Which will be awesome.

Congratulations!

You guys are so much more than just a car blog. I applaud you (and Richard Jordan for following his heart).
