@willmmmm: It was a Camaro.

Do the Euro fuel economy reqs for automakers work like they do here, where you average it out over the entire product line? Can't they keep making gas guzzlers as long as they add a few sippers to the lineup? Maybe Audi can sell some econo-diesel-hybrids to make up for the V12's.

My wife always gets creeped out when I do Heath Ledger's Joker. "You wanna know how I got these scarsss?" /smacks lips

@combat chuck: Well, I set this up on my home PC over the weekend, and it lags like crazy when I'm browsing my library in Artwork Layout view. I don't know if that's because I have quite a bit more music at home (about 6,000 mp3's rather than 3,000), or if my hard drive at home is slower, but when the app actually…

Wow. This is great. It starts up really fast in spite of my huge music library, which is an issue I've been having with Winamp at home. If you use the Artwork Layout view, it does a great job of tracking down album covers for you- best I've seen, really.

If 20 years from now I find an '85 Hyundai Excel in someone's barn, I'll probably just leave it there.

@Scandinavian Flick: Now I know how she got kidnapped in the first place: Bowser pulled up in a pussy magnet yellow Lambo and she hopped right in!

Here's another thought: chop the back end off a delivery van (the kind with double doors) and mount it to the wall in your garage. Put some shelves inside and presto, awesome gearhead toolshed. You can even lock it up if you have a key!

I want half a taco truck on my kitchen wall. The half with the tacos, obviously.

Except none of these will become taco trucks until they're at least 15 years old.

Other than the free local paper that shows up in my driveway twice a week (which is really just a wrapper for the weekly Best Buy/Target ads), I get my news online and from the radio (when I'm driving).

The Sbarro makes the Weber look like a masterpiece of high style automotive design.

You usually see that color combo on Adidas shoes in the clearance bin at the local factory outlet store. So maybe they were cheap, and Lotus can direct more of its money to making the car competitive.

I got all excited when I saw the title, then realized it's just a tarted-up 1 series. Nothing to see here, folks. Lemme know when BMW actually makes a new M1 (not holding my breath).

Well, at least it doesn't look like a Prius, right?

@UGAdawg: I tried IE and it was even more loathsome. I have a suspicion (dare I say it?): the IT censors here at work have finally started cracking down on Gawker blogs, and they started by blocking images (I know, it's odd). That would seriously kill the internet for me. I might have to actually, you know, be…

@UGAdawg: I did all that just now. The page actually looks worse. Maybe it's my fault, maybe it's Nibbles. #jalopnikvsgm

@combat chuck: Oh, and how did Wes do? #jalopnikvsgm

Am I the only one who can't see pics on the post pages today? It's a Gawker-wide phenomenon for me. Running XP, browsing with Firefox 3.5.4. #jalopnikvsgm
