This thing has a chin to rival Leno's.

GAHHH! Totally thought the same thing! hahaha

Haha, well pretty much anybody who's here currently is "post-Hopcat," because I think it just opened up this fall, didn't it? (I'm not a consumer of alcohol, so I don't really keep up with the bar scene.)

I've driven by this several times before and always kind of wondered about it. I've been saying to my wife for the last couple months that I'd really like to get down to the R. E. Olds museum and see what they've got down there for a piece on my own blog. Thanks for posting!

Gumby's/Goomba's is under new ownership, I know (current MSU student here). So I think that is part of the name change reasoning. It was a bit of a controversy around here for a bit. Food seems more or less the same though.

The new Viper is one of the most wonderful machines in existence. It's viscerally and obscenely fast, it looks downright violent, and now, it's actually pretty nice inside and slightly less apt to murder human beings than previous Vipers. If I found myself $97,000 richer tomorrow — and I wasn't allowed to buy a crazy…

Probably. Here we learn that everything comes at a cost: Internationally famous comedian collaborates with you to make excellent ads. Trade-off: He's going to poke fun at what you named the car.

Okay, I did laugh at the "If you can't remember that, just think 'DR. X' then replace DR. with MD!"

Related though?

In the same way, it's tough for foreign automakers to compete in Japan (although there are other, more complex reasons at work there as well).

In Wyoming, where I'm from, you can ride an ATV on the road, provided it has headlights/taillights (I think you'd have to use hand signals, though I'm sure there are kits to put in blinkers), and it has to have a license plate.

Probably isn't the first time it's happened and it certainly won't be the last.

And you can hear a siren.

I drove a lot of great classic cars this year, and I can say without hyperbole that each was fantastic in its own way. But for some reason this slow, immaculate, and very very orange VW Type III Fastback stands out, mostly because of the intensity of love the owner felt for the car.

Best: Skid Plate Toyota Camry

And by 'emotional rollercoaster,' I mean you are lifted to great highs by sweet, sweet sideways pony car action. And then you are dropped so very far down by the car catching on fire.

I'm younger than that and haven't ridden in one ever either. Used the bus plenty where I attend school but I'm originally from an area of the country where cabs simply...do not exist.

Truth. Fits pretty tight in my Camry and when I want to take it out, it rebels and tries to perform a fingernail amputation on my thumb and index fingers.

+10 sympathy points for everyone that's spun there.
