Ray, have I told you lately that I love you? Have I told you there's no one else above you? Today's "Morning Shift" was so mucho excellento that I had to quote a Rod Stewart song to express my feelings.

I hope each car comes with this helpful video.

Interesting to learn where the term "carhop" came from.

I heard it was a Karen Silkwood type deal. I just hope it doesn't end the same way, I really don't care to see Cher play a lesbian again.

I don't like the taillights, it seems they could show a bit more creativity. The rest of the car is awesome. I like the windows in the sail panel as they update without taking away. I'm sure there are some still bitching about losing the hidden headlamps, but time marches on.

Just think, if all this technology existed in the 80's, there wouldn't be a Pee Wee's Big Adventure. He would have just posted on Craigslist and gone to a dirty movie.

Chevrolet would show it on a "Gage".

I can't make out what is says. I did notice "clean air" on the dash. Can you select between clean air and dirty air? Why you you want dirty air, or is that a switch so you can clean dirty air? I'd think a luxury car would clean the air for you and not make you have to switch an air cleaner on yourself.

This is what I call a re-reader, worth reading twice.

Any time you begin to think you're a man of importance, try bossing someone else's dog around. Now, with that, I'm out the door. Shopping to do... :)

A stitch in time saves nine. Thanks, I have my own cliches.

I hate it when you get to the low fruit before I do!

It's always nice to see the "kids", especially around the holidays. :) We've missed you, too.

Wes Siler is back? This is kind of like a reunion without catering.

Hi. I'm not really answering you, but hope you're doing OK. I'm attempting to post and Jalopnik won't let me - keeps telling me "Failed to post comment" so, I'm trying it as a reply.

What? Huh? I'm a creature of habit and the first thing I do is check The Morning Shift - I don't even look at the byline. Today I'm thinking, "Ray is on his game today", look over and it's Matt! Matt, you should spend more time schlepping drinks at races, it seems to give you a swagger! GREAT JOB!

Heard he's already following Ray on Google +

Wasn't Nash's designer Edward Anderson? At any rate, they used most of the in-house design and credited Pininfarina. I guess it sounded classier.

There's always been that "Italian design mystique".

That's nothing. You should see that wagon lap a hotel parking lot with a full compliment of family and luggage.
