I own a British car already, so I know the fun that troubleshooting problems can be. Not even being sarcastic. I was all set to NP until I saw the whole sticky wicket about not being able to get it into the States. That's a dealbreaker at any price. CP.

@KWOKtalks: Yes. Its in the olympic park. The tower is actually a fun thing to visit too, since they have one of the worlds only funicular elevators that runs up the angled tower.

Can anyone explain how pop up headlights are more dangerous to pedestrians? Is the theory that if you're run over, you'll hit the lights sticking up and somehow get more injured?

Montreal did something similar with their olympic park. The former velodrome has been turned into a bio-dome, (not to be confused with the Montreal Biosphere) where visitors can walk through simulated nature exhibits. Having been, I can say its actually quite fun and a good way to spend an afternoon. I throughly…

@Bueller: Its like Clarkson said about the 8C:

@cityag: I'll look for that one next time i'm down that way.

@Flako_FigZ: I'm in Newark, but the original ones are on college ave in New Brunswick. They're the only ones from which you can get an actual "fat darryl", at all the other trucks its known as a "fat dutchy blunt"

Used to do it the bad way. Broke a power brick. When buying a new one, the apple store people told me about the good way. Now all is well in brick land... no sign of fraying after a full year.

We don't have many taco trucks in my neck of the Jersey woods, but we do have grease trucks and fat sandwiches. Gotta love chicken, cheesesteak, mozz sticks, fries, and marinara all on one giant roll.

Call me back when he does this.

Has anyone looked at Chrysler's vehicle lineup lately? Excluding Jeep and Dodge, they make 4 cars. One is a minivan, one is no longer produced, one is the worst car ever made and is purchased almost exclusively by rental companies, and the last is so garish only drug dealers could seriously consider driving it. I…

I drive an f-550 mason dump from time to time. I know its not "big" when compared to things like tandems and tractor trailers, but it has a strobe light bar and a loud diesel engine, and thoroughly gratifies my napoleon complex when I drive it. I can imagine this being among the reasons we 'mericans love big cars &…

It pisses me off when people go and take photos of something like this and don't include some kind of scale reference. Its impossible to tell at first glance how big or small this thing actually is. Toss a scale figure into at least one of your photos.

@Middleswine: Good to know it has speed-proof cylinders. Its interesting how car ads haven't really changed. Back then they were talking about hydrol-pneumatic-olieo-double-brakes and hat-clearance, today we're discussing the subtle differences between ATC and ESP.

When I was growing up, I got a bike for my birthday. I remember going to the bike store with my parents to get a proper fitting helmet, and seeing the super cool little digital speedometer kit there. I saved all summer for it and bought it in early august. It had a metal magnet that went on your wheel and a small…

@FriarNurgle: as long as if by "decent" you mean "not a windshield suction cup" because those are universally awful.

Those D-pillars look like blind spot central. They're twice the depth of the ones on a pacifica which already has absolutely no way to see out the back when you're reversing out of a parking spot.

@Festering neon distraction: Or if Buick could somehow reintroduce the roadmaster name with an LS V8 and some sweet wood-paneled sides...

@dsh: nope. *This* is the official soundtrack for Anderson Homages...

yes. I can see it now. I will buy this, and keep a small can of dry erase markers nearby, so my guests can write out ridiculous venn diagrams on my coffee table. I will be the hit of the neighborhood.
