If he's trying to break with his past, then why is he expending so much effort (psychotically) "repairing" his relationships and not out at the bar sleeping with loose women in the back seat of his new (uncool) 300C?

I guess I'd be bitter too if I were a 30-year old virgin.

I liked the idea of this burgeoning bad ass tied to his nerdy past through such an incongruous car. It reminds us of where he comes from, and it makes his continuous pathetic efforts to normalize his family relationships all the more believable. I'll miss the Aztek, it was definitely a bargain for the mechanic at our…

Or! Dododododododododododo!

This video is a great example of how people who drive in the passing lane when not passing cause accidents, and then keep rolling along the shoulder to ensure that their victims have been immobilized.

And if you're going to do it, at least do it well. Doesn't look like the driver did much to get out of it.

I was able to find this summary of the rover's communications package. It doesn't directly answer your questions, but it may give you a clue: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/mission/rover/communications/.

Ping pong then.

Thanks, I was wondering how some scrub who designed some crappy iPhone app which nobody I know has ever heard of has had enough success to purchase a 458. A family-run import-export business makes infinitely more sense to me.

I've been meaning to read this book I bought over a year ago called "Above Top Secret: The Worldwide U.F.O. Cover-Up" by a Timothy Good.

UFOs are well documented. Governments routinely investigate UFOs. What was that? I dunno, let's check it out. Oh, it was either a new Soviet rocket type or a bunch of swamp gas.

Can we see it with a snow backdrop? I need to see it with a snow backdrop.

Seriously. Fit, yes. But how much brute force do you need to hit a volleyball? And how fast do you need to be to run around an area the size of a large walk-in closet? Taller or stronger or faster on average, maybe, but what a particular female athlete lacks in one area she may compensate in another, and compliment a…

Just pulling your a leg a little here, but it's a photo taken by a car-sized robot from the surface of Mars and you won't be satisfied until you find out if they're shooting in RAW or JPEG?!

In motorsports, cars that consistently perform at a slightly higher level than the competition get fitted with something called an air restrictor to reduce the engine's power. It helps ensure that the competition is more about the drivers and less about the hardware. Let's close that 10% gap with Olympic restrictors —…

Wow, it's been a long while since I heard an Alan Watts lecture. Thanks for the reminder.

I disagree! They are the same in spirit.

I have to credit Giz's own Chicken Balls for my new go-to retort to the fallacious, pervasive anti-NASA argument that space money would be better spent eradicating poverty and famine.

That's is the coolest retort. It's wasted here on a troll, but I'll be sure to circulate it elsewhere!
