Talk about a hole in one!

It's too stoopid to be photoshop.

I absolutely agree with m2m on this point:

I've spent hours (days?) of my life traveling at speeds faster than 120 mph on public highways. And that's all I've got to say about that.

agreed. THE best ways to immediately improve fuel economy are to ensure your tires are properly inflated, remove that extra engine and parts from your trunk, and leave for your destination about 15 minutes sooner (depending on where you live, make that 30 minutes earlier if you live in Los Angeles) so you can drive a…

I agree with you, Bentoboxx, the Petersen is a great place to visit, and it never gets old because the upstairs displays are always being updated.

This one made my day. Thanks, Ray.

for the record, I would not burn my Ford Fiesta to save my house. I'd simply rub some dirt on my face, and the face of my 8yo son, and then we'd go sit on a freeway exit (far from my neighborhood) with a sign begging for donations. I hear some of those folks can earn a pretty penny.

Thanks...three months later, i've received your reply and have discovered my honor. (I didn't even know I had been honored!)

I'm wondering if the Infiniti folks actually GAVE him the car, or whether it is some kind of lease deal that he must give back at some point in the future?

nevermind. co-workers and I are tearing up from the laughter.

@maximum-sienna: might be sooner than you think. just sayin'
