'm impressed by Lou Staples prognostication. Gold was about $150 when he said to buy it. It was $850 an ounce in January of 1980.

http://www.necn.com/Boston/World/M… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/15/swe… This isn't unique to the US. Many of the people in these accidents were quite blameless too. What do you do in dense fog on the highway? I'd love to know how someone so comfortable in their arrogance deals with a situation where the…

When I lived in Europe, massive pileups due to fog were the norm. It still seems to be the http://www.necn.com/Boston/World/M…

I tend to agree. Mini Coopers were used as sports cars, and they slew many a small displacement sports car in sports car racing. Ergo, sports car. The 1990 Elan was pretty much a sports car by any measure as well. I seem to remember that point A to point B pace was a serious consideration, and that it measured up very…

Car top carriers aren't nice to deal with in the modern world. They're vulnerable to theft, a source of immense wind noise, as weather proof as air, and a needless headache when vehicles better suited to carrying people and things are available. Besides, an Odyssey is more reliable than a fleet of E63s, which matters…

A three row wagon like the E63 can carry people or stuff. A minivan can carry people and stuff.

Besides, if they happened to be running Saabs, the band could have just tried using them for a week and they 'd have both been broken down in time for the shoot.

Some imbecile at Trader Joe's had two bumpers stickers on their car about how their pets didn't want them to vote for Romney. I wrote them a note about Obama's taste for dog on a pair of chop sticks and left it on their windshield. It takes a really unbiased media to make a two week story out of Romney's dog loading…

Thank you for taking the time to read it. Racing is ultimately about winning races and championships, so I must admit that Senna is certainly more accomplished than Hamilton is at this time. Maybe Hamilton will achieve a great deal in the future. Maybe not.

Nike? Does this mean that when you buy a Chrysler, you also have to pay for one to be given to a college athlete and one to be given to a professional athlete for promotional purposes? Will the one for the price of three markup be kept in check by having Chryslers assembled by the children of Asia standing in knee…

Senna was pretty obsessed with how great he was too. If the way Hamilton is characterized in hack articles is true, it is something that they have in common. Leaving McLaren in search of better opportunity after years of the team's devotion is something they have in common too, for that matter. Being in an excessive,…

I like the P1800S too. I used to date a girl with a classic '66 and the outline of one tattooed on her calf, which was featured in an ipd catalogue. Still, the p1800S was a Volvo, which may be why she loved hers while all the girls I've dated with Saabs were miserable about them.

Mom's gonna be pissed when she sees what Ryan did with her station wagon.

Sorry. I was just pointing out that you're an idiot in an oblique way. Obviously, this was an unfair way to deal with an idiot.

Not if you cut your losses when it grinds to a halt for the first time. Then it will be the cheapest Ferrari you ever own, even if it only covers a mile.

Senna was a bastard coated bastard with bastard filling when he was alive. That you started watching F1 after Hamilton started driving but think you can compare him to Senna is telling.

Sometimes I go to the track with a few PCA guys that have GT3s and transporters. The point of a track day is to challenge and improve your skills. If they just wanted lap times, they'd have Corvettes or GTRs. Outsourcing shifting is like hiring somebody to make your wife cum.

Another stage of its development.

I'm partial to Henrik Blok's Fire Arrow.

I read the article twice and found no evidence of even an honest attempt to debunk the study. It just seems that certain propagandists are trying to repeat what they wish were true until it gains traction with those not really paying attention.
