@Keanubear: Polo is coming to the States as far as I know.

So...make it shittier? Hmm, yes, that works so often for upscale European cars.

@sdvictor: Not fired - executed. What's happening at Kia right now is spectacular. What's happening at VW spectacularly bad.

Saw a Dacia Duster on the street here yesterday, and, well, really dug it actually.

I've used SpamSieve's Bayesian for years on my Macs and it's the first thing I install on other people's machines when I set them up. Worth the $30 in time alone.

@SagarikaLumos: Well, it's clearly a problem that he chose to do it from the other lane, therefore depriving these fine gentlemen of their intended "YouTube moment" of a snowman exploding on a car's hood and killing someone.

@porsche9146: I'm changing my other passwords to something different, but keeping my Gawker account the same. What's the worst a hacker can do with my Gawker account - use my name and say that wagons suck and Jezebel rulz?

@dmcshinobi: When you change all usernames and passwords that were the same as your Gawker account. They were made public, so there's no putting the cat back in the bag now...

Is that thing called a "Rapescan"? If it's not, it should be.

Clap. Clap. Clap. Bravo.

@KegParty: You might think that's a stupid comment, but @Matthew Akin is right. Cobblestones are much more varied in size and shape than brick as well as being significantly heavier.

@ɹǝʌoɹ ǝƃuɐɹʇs: Yup. And it's not Andrew Jackson on the $20 either.

@CarGuyDad: I will never forgive Ferrari for the 456M. Such a subtle way to ruin a gorgeous car.

@Robbie Leffel: It was the very first thing I thought when I saw the pic, and the thought that will continue to linger in my head after reading the article.

These three douches are exactly why I'm glad I'm moving to Europe soon where I can watch the British Top Gear live on my TV.

@jeffro: My thoughts exactly.

@80Supra: Thanks to everyone for the hearty clicks. I just couldn't sit back and watch as people condoned a situation that they clearly understand so poorly.

@Nieros: Having lived in France for several years and suffered through many of these strikes, I can assure you that this is not "what the country wants as a whole", but rather a very small number of extremely greedy unions who feel a sense of entitlement and have no problem ruining the lives of the rest of the country…

@riyadh: Nobody needs a minivan until you have at least 3 kids, and 2 of them are either simultaneously in car seats (because the damn things take up so much space these days), or heading for puberty. 7 seats for 2 toddlers is ridiculous.

@Ms. Scoutch: Oddly, they weren't hippies at all, my dad just had a fascination with European machinery (he's an engineer). He had already passed through his 3 Peugeots by the time I was old enough to remember anything.
