Love the name.

Christmas 2010, I drove from LA to DC in 3 days. A lot of music on the iPod, but other than that it was all Adam Carolla and NPR podcasts. Some Moth storytelling, but mostly KCRW's Unfictional and How Stuff Works StuffYouShouldKnow.

I've done a lot of long distance/long hour driving both for work and travel.

It really sucks because they had a lot of good ideas, but the just really shit the bed on this one.

I like the little road. Not as much traffic and it takes you right by Menghini.

I understand that, but Steve Rattner clearly misinterpreted the "Don't bail them out." sentiment.

I thought the answer was always Miata.

I still remember car ads from before I was able to drive...

Very few of our roads are unkown. There are whole websites dedicated to them. (Lateral G, Mullholland Raceway, et al)

No they are just hopping on the same flame-surfaced bandwagon damn near everyone's been on the last decade.

See that's funny because the first flame surfaced Bangle abomination I saw elicited the comment from me that "Ewww, it looks like a fucking Hyundai, gross."

And I think that 6MT Jetta Wagon sells pretty well here.
