@bmoreDLJ: I love those cars, but realistically, if potential buyers wanted them, they'd be buying them. I can't remember where I was read it (might have been here?), but there was a great article about how GM, Ford, and Chrysler don't need "car guys" as CEOs because most people these days are just buying boring…

@JCWhitless - Honda killed the S2000 to afford to advertise ...: I want the ending to be an aircraft falling out of the sky onto Michael Bay. For real, though, no special effects, while Spielberg comes out and apologises for everything and tells us all it was a joke that got out of hand.

@briannutter: You missed the 5.0 Mustang LX, though you listed the Cobras and the SVO. The cheap 5.0 cars are what really brought back the Mustang as an enthusiast's car, though, and I wouldn't trade my 1990 LX for anything. Did you know that in 1987 you could get a Mustang coupe with a 5.0, a five-speed manual, and…

@TysonZetes: Is there something wrong with your brain? Most "imports", especially Japanese ones, are built in North America. And some of the Big Three's largest facilities are in Canada and Mexico, which is great for Canadians (like myself), but not so much for Americans. If more Americans buy "imports", then more…

@MikeD74: Wow, a douchebag making angry comments about "liberals" without any substance. Never seen that before.

@petersterncan: Cobra replicas are the only kit cars I can get behind. Most modern kits offer better performance than the real deal at an attainable price, and I wouldn't be nearly as terrified about what the yuppie SUV driver on her mobile would do to it if she started veering out of her lane. Seriously, I want a…

@JackMaz got wagon fever: I think there's some merit in having a mid-level luxury brand like Buick. I personally preferred Oldsmobile (I liked the 442), which is I guess between Chevy and Buick on the GM luxo-scale, but whatever. If GM had done something with their brands to differentiate them they probably wouldn't…

@Tomsk is all about Murlopnik weekends!: Why would you give props to Klaus when B made a perfectly cromulent Futurama reference?

@lordroberts68: It's a little like the BBC; everybody like to criticise it but the alternatives are far worse!

@lordroberts68: Yeah, as a Canadian I'm in pretty much the same boat, though until recently my province had us all paying health care premiums too unless you were really poor. Socialised medicine has its problems for sure, but not having to worry about whether or not I can afford to go to the doctor when I need to…

@SScorpio: Yeah, I love my modded XBox, but as I get more HD content, I find I need to step up to a better machine. This Boxee setup is way too expensive for me though. I'm wondering why I would do this over just grabbing a Popcorn Hour media tank at less than half the price.

@Phillip Loughney: I'm waiting for more Android phones to come out because I don't want to drop a bunch of cash on a phone that will only do EDGE where I live. There's only one GSM provider in Canada, and though the other big two are switching as well right now, by the end all three will be using the same frequency…

@Mad_Science: I think the big problem is that automotive engineering has come a long way since the last Ranger refresh. I could deal with a stripped down Ranger using the latest-and-greatest chassis, suspension, and engine design, but they want a lot for a truck that they've already paid off all the tooling and R&D…

@Maymar has too much utility character: I was shocked when I took a look at the trucks at the GM dealership by my apartment and noticed that the extended cab Colorado was more expensive than the extended cab Silverado, despite the big truck coming with a 5.3 V8 and getting only slightly worse gas mileage. The Ranger…

@Gerardo Herz: As FarleyBenkar stated, the version of Gnome-Do in the repos is not the latest, it usually takes a bit before the latest-and-greatest of anything makes it into the repos so they can be reasonably sure it won't break everything. If you want to try this version, there are instructions here that should…

@Vivelafat is the Quizat Haderach: I'm still pissed at how much they butchered the book with the first one. I have no interest in watching sequels to a bad movie.

@Farproc: I agree wholeheartedly. I use Flashblock instead of NoScript, but the effect is the same. The only sites I have trouble with are corporate websites that focus too much on looking, well, "flashy" but are slow to navigate and slow to load. While it's true that Flash can do things that JS/AJAX can't, the…

@piththeelder: I was referring to the Shelby GT500, which, partially thanks to its iron 5.4 block and supercharger, tips the scales at a ridiculous 2 tons. The 03-04 Cobras were also pretty ridiculous, at around 3800lbs. according to some sources, again thanks to the iron mod-motor block. The modular is the source of…

@mawcs:

@philibuster: The Camaro doesn't weigh over 4000lbs.
