Great choice!

What does DTE Energy need to haul in something like this??

I would much prefer that, actually. I should have taken a photo of the levers, but basically, I have to either feel around for it, or get out of the car and look at whether I am pulling the correct lever.

I was driving to work parallel to this chase, I saw police cars from 3 different local departments, County sheriffs, and Michigan state police vehicles (easily 30 cars just that I saw off the roads they were chasing him on) - they wanted this guy bad. They had officers in their own vehicles out there too.

Props to the guy dragging the DoAll milling machine in traffic, they should have at least given the poor bastard a Bridgeport

The fuel door release on the Toyota Echo, which is located on the floor in front of the drivers seat, set way too close to the trunk release. Why would a car with a 11.9 gallon capacity need a locking fuel door in the first place?

Also, bringing up the election, I believe that even in the 2012 primaries, Ron Paul handily beat out Mitt Romney in Detroit. He is not welcome.

He isn't going to jail, he is going to Federal prison (well, after sentencing).

If we were totaling up the owners investment (time x skill + costs), then yes, NP. He really has done all of the hard work, provided everything holds together. That isn't how these projects are valued unfortunately, so CP.

It looks so perfect that actually I thought it was a rendering at first.

Why can't they just make the doors open like a normal car?

I thought this was going to be The Clash playing at a venue named Demonhead...

Olbermann will find a home one of these days, if he really wants one. Wherever it is, his contract will have a helluva 'prenuptial' agreement, leaving his employer every opportunity to can him without notice or fanfare, unless he finds someone terribly desperate, which isn't exactly a recipe for success. Before…

He must be visiting from Russia, totally unfazed by automotive carnage

In the 1990's, I worked across the street from the Ford Wayne truck plant, and would be in the local bar with the employees. Some of the workers in there would have to get up after a few hours of drinking, just so they could go punch back out for the day. I thought life wasn't fair that these guys could get away…

To be fair, there are high level Automotive executives take extended lunches with mixed drinks aplenty... yet you don't see investigative reporters following them into restaurants. Two wrongs certainly don't make a right, but remember there are troublemakers at every level. (For the record, I don't think you should…

I can't help but feel in their designs, Lincoln is trying to balance the past (the same folks who buy a conservative looking Buick) against the new Cadillac buyer, which of course now look modern and hip. You can't do both, and their results are proof. I think they should have stuck with going after the old folks…
