Poor Lefors.

@o_patrick: something like this? [www.simonheys.com]

@prupert: Hard drive manufacturers have been doing this forever.

No SRT-10 Ram, burnout into the ditch? Too bad.

@Carplanetzone1: The old commercials said S-H-O. The new commercials say show. If Ford is inconsistent then I don't think that either way is "wrong".

@Formerlythegreatestdriver: Fifth Gear probably would be jealous. But if it was truly a driving competition they might be the best show.

@PowerTryp: Yep. Definitely on the show.

This may be a new press release, but (as mentioned in the press release) this car has been around for over 2 years now.

@Cognitive Friction: Well Ian Johnson did receive threats for the horrible offense of marrying a white girl so unfortunately it's not a completely baseless statement.

@long_live_the_E36: I think that the only way they could get the current Mustang up to that weight is if they added the 5.0L and 6-speed and forgot to remove the 4.6L and old transmission.

@SEJerome: I agree completely. Hopefully the return of TIVO to DirecTV will either be a solution by itself or will force some improvements to the DirecTV HD-DVRs.

It's pretty bad when someone in the sports talk radio business says that you have no accountability. Next thing you know they'll be making fun of people's weight and calling them blowhards.

@FormerlyPreferredCustomer: I wonder if Emile was a radio controlled motorcycle designer.

I hope your route across is very southerly if you're taking the VW van. Mountain passes in that don't seem too appealing. And wouldn't the school bus be better for cut rate Ken Keseys seeing as how the Merry Pranksters actually used a school bus?

Too bad Toyota doesn't still sell the Celica with the "looks fast" package to compete against this.

I'd like to know more about this "alcohol reinforcement" thing that Kristina mentions. I'm all for reinforcing myself through drinking alcohol. I'd also like to applaud the Ghost of Zelmo Beatty on his laziness. Complaining that the Pyramid alehouse directly across the street is several blocks away is good stuff.

Sleek? Really? Remember in Live and Let Die when James Bond uses the compressed air shark gun on Mr. Big? Then Mr. Big swells up into a bloated version of himself until he finally pops. The X6 is like that but it hasn't popped yet.

Hoovering? Is he British or does he just pretend that he's British?

@MaxSmart32: I don't know how much the MSM has discussed it but unsurprisingly there have been a lot of studies on the effects. Here is one that I found quickly: [www.ornl.gov]

@Ash78: 3.76 cents for the first 10 KWh each day and 7.93 cents for each additional KWh here in Seattle. Plus a base service charge that works out to about $3/month. You can also spend $3, $6, or $12 a month extra to get 25%, 50%, or 100% wind power.
