@jeff-the-ffr-fan: Good luck. With the whole car having been designed and built around a two power source drivetrain, shoe-horning in a different engine and transmission may be in impossible or an exercise in folly.

@pinkshinyalan is kind of brown: You made an error in your statement up there, "News is a public service", when you should have said "News is a profit stream". All real news men and women were excused long ago to make room for shit-stirrers and sensationalists.

@redman042: I prefer 'industrial bottle opener'

@eaglin: I know a lot of people regard the Saturn SW series fondly. I agree with you; where is the affordable wagon? Subaru's Outback Sport starts at 20k which isn't *too* bad... I know Focus had a wagon variant, but I'm not sure if they'll bring the next Focus wagon here.

@twitchykun(lvl. 75 Yellow Fever Vector)): Crazy, crazy All Star Batman.

@ProstWest: Nice.

Rally race spectator - the most dangerous game.

@bzr: Hoped to get in the first Magnum PI reference, failed. Hat tip to you sir.

@HickorySwitch: This is why I don't like Ashcraft stuff. I don't care about his kid, and I don't care how America is mean and crude and that he left here to live in glorious nippon. Good for him, give me my gaming news.

@Revenge_of_Nekojin: GLORIOUS NIPPON

@Nurburgring: More like ^

Flowbee: The Car

@monkei: Whoops. Maybe this is the new math?

@JuanOxido: The way that story was written was funny; the assumption of course, was that the animal was put down, but the text "Shot, Killed By Officers" is something that always accompanies a criminal pursuit. So I just imagined that poor animal surrounded by cops with their guns drawn shouting "GET DOWN! GET DOWN…

@redman042: Marijuana affects the memory.

@doug-g: Rhinestones everywhere.

@FireFlyFarm: Well, in defense of that comment, the HMMWV, like the jeep before it, was meant to ferry personnel around and never for combat or combat patrol. IEDs and occupations that last years are new ideas for the military, which until just recently has only really been tasked to destroy an identifiable enemy…

@Skunky: +1. They are flying off the lots, with most buyers opting for the Luxury Package including rear back up camera. Pity the Raptor, confined to street queen duty. The new poser-mobile.

@AcornPop: Garriot probably realized this dude was just plain crazy and didn't really pose a personal safety threat to him, and called the police.
