A friend of mine named his new son Garrett- his wife has no idea where he got THAT idea from... :-D

A friend of mine just picked up a decent, solid '59 Impala wagon (droooool) for about $6k, after paint and some interior work and a thorough going-over on the powertrain he'll probably have a great car, for Hyundai accent money.

This ain't exactly the mighty Mississippi- I'm on one side, I'm on the other side. I'm on the East bank I'm on the west bank. This is NOT THAT CRITICAL.

Love that movie.

Wait a second- as he is flying away, there's pretty clearly a body of water or a river over that way- I'd think that would be a less dangerous way to grab some H2O for it, the maneuvering must be easier, right?

When I get my eighty bajillion dollar check from my settlement against The Neverending Story for false advertising, I'm just going to hook sensors to my real car and play on a drive-in movie screen.

Upon further research (YAY INTERWEBZ) it was the basis for the car they had built to play the Knight 4000 in that movie. GM wouldn't let them use the concept car, so they just kinda had one built. I didn't even know you could do that- QOTD idea: What concept car would you daily drive?

Wasn't that also featured as KITT in Knight Rider 2000?

"It's a lovely model, sir." "Model?!"

...Superbocharged? That would have been a better name for it, at least.

Her arm is clearly on the other side of the police do not cross line, I'd say that's cause for not paying up.

Beware of cheap rimitations.

Much like the first-gen Olds Silhouette, God help you if you let anything roll down the dash to the windshield. It's gone, man. Not coming back.

Never, ever, ever assume that a 'friend' won't screw you over. Working at a dealership, I've learned to keep my life and my work separate, fortunately without any major issues but there have been some close calls. Of course you have a few customers over the years who call you a friend, but you're always running the…

Frayed knot.

His parents have an Escalade from us, and they're the nicest people you'd ever want to meet- what the hell happened to him? His mom apologized for bringing it in for an oil change without washing it once- I told her we're thrilled every time it comes in without any holes in the roof, obscene graffiti, or being cut in…

If you're ever near the Philadelphia Airport, the Simeone Museum has one. I think it used to belong to Phil Spector. http://simeonemuseum.org/the-cars

Eh, Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari don't have the model range and sheer number of cars being sold to offset 'poor' (read: AWESOME) fuel economy in a low volume range topper. Given that Caddy is sure to sell way more ATS and ELR models than whatever the top end car turns out to be, it should be offset in the same way…

Simple! The car weighs next to nothing, since he replaced all the metal with blow-molded plastics to avoid all the issues with the massive electromagnetic fields generated in the engine. 0-60 in under 4 seconds, 110 mpg. Well, 1/110th of a gallon per mile, since it only made it the one mile before it came apart... but…

Not over yet in Texas, but hopefully soon...
