Sigh. Apparently the deal is for a pair of the same blades. My car (2000 M5) takes 1x26" and 1x21" blades, therefore not eligible.

I'm far from young and it's still costly...:-)

What M5 insurance bump? Maybe in your state but here in NC my 2000 M5 costs five bucks a month more than my (former) 2002 Maxima cost to insure before I sold it off to reclaim driveway space.

While it's not my favorite all-time aircraft, I have a lot in common with the B-52:

My bad. Agree on the price.

I believe you are referring to the European manner of representing decimal points. That's ten point zero zero Euros or a about twelve American bucks and change.

You are correct. I had it confused with a GT Premium and the GT "50th Anniversary" package. The dealer's web site does a very poor job of telling you what the models in stock are unless you just swap between their listings and the Ford web site to figure out what specific option codes are.

Also rubbed the wrong way with this. The last new car I looked at was a top-of-the-line Infiniti G37...about as much money as it was possible to spend on that model at the time. I did the test drive and basic negotiations but my wife has to see the car (yes she knows I'm looking) and she works long hours (it's her…

Ahhh, crap. The want in this one is very strong indeed. Back to buying PowerBall tickets and hoping lightning will strike....

Yeah, true if you're driving in a billiard-table flat state like Illinois or have adaptive cruise control. But on, say I-81 in VA non-adaptive cruise control is pointless. A good portion of the traffic is trucks and they slow down and speed up constantly over the gently rolling hills of the Shenandoah valley. You…

Thanks for the review. Maybe I can convince my wife to upgrade her 2009 Murano to something a little fresher. Yes, it's not a driver's car. But it can eat up eight hours of interstate without wearing you out. And ours has been as reliable as the sunrise.

"Hello, Mr. Milner, this is OnStar. Do you need a new pair of pants?"

That would be me. Now get off my lawn.

Yep. We saw one of the early incarnations of the Shockwave truck at an airshow about 25 years ago. Fortunately we got a view very close to the flightline and it was a visceral experience when he kicked in the afterburners. You didn't hear it so much as you felt it. My son was sitting on my shoulders to get a…

I gotta agree here. USB sticks are fragile little critters. They really aren't made to be carried around in your pocket and get gummed up all too easily by pocket lint, etc. Almost every one I've had go bad has died from blunt force trauma (mechanical failure).
