Ghosn apparently had a duplicate passport (one of the three passports, if not more). That’s about as envelope-pushing as you can get, and I’m not impressed or intimidated by big money stories or people jetting around the world. Ghosn is soooo clearly corrupt: Executives in Japan are **eyeroll** underpaid compared to…

You’re so tantalizingly close to understanding the point of my comment. 

You know you’re dealing with a paragon of civic virtue when someone has three passports from three different countries.

Back in the day, this car showed up in some Pirelli adverts (or Dunlop, etc. I’m not sure) in a few British motor magazines. Silly me, I imagined that this ‘future Aston Martin’ had been created expressly for marketing the tire company in question; it seemed liked they simply rastafied a Vantage by 20%.

Indeed... Watching celebrities whore themselves out for PR on worthless projects is always enlightening.  

Over the next few days Google is going to record a small but noticeable bump in searches for ‘Rumspringa.’

I, unfortunately, currently live in a military town, and as such would like to nominate absolutely all of the small-itsy-bitsy-tiny-little-pee-pee cars and trucks from Chrysler / Dodge.

Yup... Here’s a bit from C&D on their long term Boxster S:

‘...has all the interior style of some rich guy’s dad in a bomber jacket and lots of gold chains...’

There’s a heap of more people that need to be fired immediately and most definitely without golden parachutes attached. I’m thinking of those who first suggested and then engaged in the “pilot error / poor training” blame game, which was directed at the airlines, pilots, etc. immediately following the crashes.

I’ve had a 1985 Jaguar XJ6 which was the most reliable car I’ve ever owned... no kidding. The only time it required a tow was when it threw its serpentine belt, which was just a matter of me not keeping up with expected maintenance. I sold it at 160,000. Oil changes and brakes and tires. That was it.

OMG. Again with the Jaguars as a whipping boy for lack of durability, reliability, etc.

Good question, but I’m betting it was at a least a dozen engineers designing that one tail-light, and the team was headed by a guy who had an accounting degree and cut his teeth on product management working for Mary Kay.

Yeah... Even the Washington Post is echoing that sentiment.

My GF was watching this just last week, while I was in the kitchen. She blurted out: “That is soooooo stupid. No person does that!”

Yeah, I would never put acid-trip and George Lucas together.

Agree 100% on the 997.2...

Has anyone posted one of RedLetterMedia’s Nerd Crew parodies on here yet? I feel like they’re doing a hilarious / excellent job reacting to the Disney Fan Army Marketing Behemoth.

If I close my eyes I can still remember the engine vibrations coming through the steering wheel, the torque steer, and even the no-base sound coming through the stereo of my 1985 Ford Escort as it played De La Soul’s debut album. These era Fords were actually pretty good cars for the money, with much more…
