or perhaps there are no govt subsidies for flying cars yet

For us in CT it was 58008918 and flip it. One of my buddies even had some huge mathematical expression that would generate it like "if you add x + y and subtract z what do you get?"

Guangzhou, China, early May 1997. My first international trip. Traveling alone. Arrive Sunday night, 930 pm or so, from Hong Kong. I guess we were the last flight in, because the whole terminal was empty, and dark, except for our customs line, which was lit. And lined with all of the Chinese military guards, who…

I say this as a committed audiophile - the only reason you don't find B&O and Burmeister in Kia is because they don't have the kind of margin to pay that kind of royalty. That's not a technology issue, it's a financial one. I'll bet those two brands would want a lot more from Kia to account for dilution by association…

you just described my relationship with my 540. Wonderful car, still kick myself for selling it.

My new facebook cover photo Thanks!

and now we know why those drink cups come with lids

Agreed 100%, but she's not in the TR7, she's on it! See: Whitesnake, Tawny Kitaen

without question. 4 dr, 4 spd, 2.5L 4 banger, mine even had the crappy chrome lug nut cover hubcaps on the sky blue rims. Ugh.

My first car was an 80 Olds Omega, 4 door, 4 speed (!) with the 4 banger. My input on this car: kill it, preferably with fire.

Wow, where to start? Do I expect them to keep a bunch of money in a vault in a basement? How about not taking it in the first place if you don't need it? And that second paragraph, holy crap, the SSA are angels for investing the money in the Treasury and the Treasury just HAS to go and spend it, otherwise their won't…

How ironic. The first video features checking engine oil with a dipstick, yet the BMW X6 featured in the graphic doesn't have a dipstick. Shame on you BMW!

I grew up there too, still live just north, it's amazing she missed the pumps

"As for forcing Walmart to change. I fear that such a thing may be a fool's errand. Alice Walton had 27 Billion Dollars in the bank. It didn't prevent her from being so cheap that she would refuse to hire a driver and collect 3 DUI's and killing someone while driving drunk.

Mr Tracker,
No. Ford drops mike Rowe is fact. The shill part is opinion.

thank you for a much needed dose of perspective. I only got so mad because I like it here and would rather not see it go the way of the rest of the gawker sites. I still wander around over there because I like to hear different perspectives, but it really doesn't seem like anyone is enjoying themselves

I have a black belt in sarcasm, and when i use the phrase "shill for the oppressors" it's a taunt to the people in the cubes around you who write for the other gawker sites. 95% of Americans don't get sarcasm, at all, and certainly not when it's written in a headline. You have piled on. You write the headline…

"If I'm honest, I don't personally care either way about Mike Rowe or his choice, and I could be persuaded to believe this whole thing is a bit overblown."

I blew it - the perfect image was right next to it!
