I'm your pain while you repay. You know it's Sepultura!!!

My fave is Joe Sakic. It's a little more obscure unless you already know SOAD's "Sugar" and are a hockey fan.

I admit that I wasn't quite sure.

Blech. Nasty. And they're plastic wheel covers over 14" steel wheels.

Canadian-ness test. If you don't see anything odd about these names, you might be Canadian:

I liked the looks of the 2nd-gen Probe GT back in the day, and I still like it now. The base model, however, was nasty from day one:

The closest Volvo dealer to me is 90 km / 56 mi away. I don't often see late-model Volvos, but when I do, they're most often rentals.

Déjà vu.

As absurd as the sneezing story sounds, it's apparently more common that you think (OK, than I thought). Boston Magazine pulled up instances where sneezing was a factor in people losing control of vehicles.

Oh yes, you're here because there's "Nissan Pulsar" in the headline. Well, as Automatch Tom covered earlier today, it's a nifty compact hatch that we're not getting here. That's too bad, because we're also not going to see ads like these on U.S. TV.

This is what Ginny Diguiseppi normally looks like:

Of all my dad's old Playboy's that I snuck peeks at as a kid, the one I still remember is the '79 Playmate of the Year:

The result was a flood of Googling that according to ChoiceStream, a media-buying platform that relies on algorithms to set ad rates, forced Maybach marketers to pay more than double the cost for display ads late last year. And those boosted rates have been bleeding into 2014.

Functionally, I don't care what colour the lens is. Amber, red, clear/white, grey/smoked, they're all fine by me as long as the turn signal's actual light emitted is amber.

"Get informed."

Liveries: Holy crap. The liveries. Marlboro McLaren and Team Penske. John Player Special Team Lotus. Gitanes Ligier. Rothmans Porsche and Williams. Mild Seven Benetton. These are the liveries you remember when you think of motorsports. Now what do we have? Energy drinks and banks. Boring.

I'm guessing that most Canadians think of cell phones, since two of our three biggest carriers use "mobility" in their names.

You're right in that the ones on the VGT are wider than those of the production F22 2er, but they appear to be a similar height and style. If the production ones were any wider, they'd either have to widen the fenders or cut into the trunk opening.

I'm shocked that it was ever a policy at all. Not having ever owned an Xbox, until now I just assumed that services like Hulu and Netflix would have been accessible without Xbox Live Gold.

But that's not what happened. The amber area stayed dead, inert, while the red brake light section blinked its horrible, crimson blink. It was a deep, deep betrayal. Sure, I know in the US — and, oddly, only in the US — taillights are free to use red for rear turn indicators, and there's plenty of cars that do just
