My family cars growing up were, in order, a '72(?) Volvo 144, a '76 Volvo 245 (again fuzzy on the exact year, but that body style/headlamp arrangement), and an '82 Volvo 245 Turbo (which I learned to drive, and drift, in).

I find it suspicious that the burger didn't come with ketchup, mustard and onions. Aren't they the standard McD's burger condiments? Did she specifically ask for her Happy Meal without it?

@Aaron Huebner: Oh my fucking God, I had no idea. I've never had any reason to go anywhere near a Microsoft store, and, now that I've seen one, I will never go into one in the future. Not even to look at Windows Phone 7, which I quite like.

So, the dude demo-ing it is frickin' annoying, right? He's awkwardly unhip but obviously flippin' coached, right? Totally ruins the quite lovely experience for me, right?

@Munene: Hmm, you might ask Ray to fix that then, huh?

It's really the shift from 4th to 3rd to 2nd for a roundabout that I find difficult. It's like trying to copy your dad's signature with your left hand on that report card you "forgot" to show him. I pretty much give up and start driving either excessively fast or slowly to avoid frequent shifting, made especially…

@Fiendish Dr. Wu: You've foiled me again with your "internationality" Dr. Wu, but your fiendish ways can't deny the supreme hotness of that woman, especially compared to the silicone photoshops that pass for centerfolds in Playboy.

Two things I've learned from this article:

@jesus_style: So are you trying to tell me I missed a (very subtle) #sarcasm tag on your post - or are you being sarcastic?

@jesus_style: I was thinking that the PT Cruiser burning was the silver lining in this horrible incident.

To those of you crying "racism", just remember that right now everyone from Google and Facebook to Proctor & Gamble and Ford are collecting this very data on you and stereotyping accordingly.

I think I'm going to stop being white and start being Asian.

Or you could just poke him with a pointed stick.

You left out one of the most confusing ones - DRG, which stands for "Down Road Graphic" and is how designers refer to the front grill.
