I love the blonde in the background, with the little head tilt & smile. She sure is purty.

This type of fandom is something I've never really felt, for any type of sport. People ask me if I've watched this or that game or sporting event, and I'm like, nope, no real interest. The final four this weekend, probably won't watch it. Maybe it's because my parents were never big sports fans, so it was never a…

To be fair to GM, they changed the roof rack railings too. That, in and of itself, is cause for praise. And I won’t even mention the time spent on the new rims. It would blow your mind.

Ford Ecoboost V-6 = Premium Gas. Which is pretty similar, price wise, to diesel. At least in N.W. Ohio. And I'd rather have a diesel, that typically can run for 100,000's of miles, rather than a high stressed, turbo V-6. It will be interesting to see if these Ford turbo motors last in these trucks under heavy load…

My 15 year old daughter cares zero about cars. She has loved the last season of Top Gear. I actually came home from work, and she was watching the last episode, by herself. The ambulance episode kept her in stitches, it had just the right amount of NSFW humor to be just this side of uncomfortable for her. It's a damn…

Damn. My son is going to be soooo pissed at this. It's the only night we let him stay up later than usual so we can watch Top Gear on BBC America. He rolls with laughter at every episode. The ambulance competition had him in stitches. The humor on TG is perfect for an 11 year old boy, just the right amount of…

Don't know about you, but seeing John & Pat's boobs would have scarred me for life. But, different strokes for different folks.

No way. It's ball bearings. It's all ball bearings now.

"News Flash; Something sucks in New York City. Rest of the world still doesn't care, continues to function normally. More news as it happens!"

Your #1 winner reminds me when my car had a really bad odor in it. I couldn't figure it out, as I like to keep my car fairly clean, as I put a lot of miles on it. During my annual spring clean out, I start vacuuming under the seats when something gets lodged in the tube. I pull it out and its one of those small,…

I wouldn't think so. The major mini-van players, Chrysler, Honda, Toyota & Kia all have better vans that are more family friendly. It doesn't look like any of the Merc's seats fold into the floor for additional storage, nor does it appear to have the info-tainment systems that the other mini-vans have. If I were in…

"Elegantly inserted". I'll have to remember that phrase when I go see the doctor next month for my semi-annual colonoscopy. The term "Shoved" just sends shivers down my spine.

No shit, right? My wife looked at me like I'm insane when I said it was white & gold. To her, clearly black & blue. She's nuts.

It is but a scratch, I've had worse.

Anyone here think Torch is high?

Yeah, you're facts are incorrect. It wasn't a trillion $$'s in infrastructure spending, more like $275 billion. The remaining portion of the $785 billion in spending (not a trillion $'s) was $288 billion in tax cuts and $225 billion in extended unemployment benefits. And that $275 billion was spread out over three+…

How about 3 - 4 cats?

Oh, yeah. It's not uncommon for municipalities to enforce a driving ban during snow emergencies. I'm in N.W. Ohio, and last year, during our record breaking winter, we had a few days of level 3 snow emergencies, which basically means keep your ass at home unless you have to be out. Generally, if your work demands you…

Mazda never gave this the support it deserved. No advertisement, and the re-design was a bit much. I preferred the prior, more simple design, rather than forcing the newer design features on the existing model. I was at the NAIAS and the Mazda display was all 3 & 6 series sedans, MX-5's and CX-3's. Only one lone Mazda…

Except the Ford is that superior to the Chevy. Car & Driver just tested the Ford, Dodge, Toyota & Chevy. The Ford was a total of 80lbs lighter than the Chevy. Both have advantages over each other, but if it was my money, I'd be looking at the Dodge or Chevy over the Ford. The fuel bills alone would give me serious…
