I remember reading about those test mills in GM's "Skunk Works". They also had a twin engine Citation; it was good for 420 BHP and AWD.

Like how he has a pack of Marb Lights in the centre console. Sometimes people with obscene amounts of money do not treat their cars better than a lower middle class soccer mom does. No offense to the soccer moms.

I see your crazy guy and raise you this one:

Ah yes, the Vigor/2.5TL. They were notorious for cracking the exhaust manifolds, blowing out the mass air sensor, and filling the distributor with oil. The distributor sits on the very back of the head and runs off the camshaft. When the seal went bad, it would fill up with oil that was used to lubricate the cam. …

I know. I work in southern Alabama. You should see the looks on everyone's face when I pronounce it "zed-dee-ex".

I already have a TL SH-AWD with a 6-speed manual. If I did not have that already, then the ZDX would not be on my list.

I absolutely LOVE the ZDX. It is a very polarizing vehicle. You either love it or hate it. We have one as a service loaner at the Acura dealer I work at. Nobody wants to drive the damn thing. So whenever I need a loaner, I use the ZDX. Now, the one we have is the Advance model with the blind spot monitors,…

Considering this is where I was raised, I am piqued. The location of the Gumby's is right next to the DiCarlo's in Elm Grove. Also, consider the demographics of the area. A Passat is far more likely than a 5-series.

Designed to poke fun at Lost and BSG? I rewatched both series a few months back. While it was clear during the third season, BSG was having trouble resolving its story the ending of the show was scores better than Lost. Lost was a frakking cop-out.

Hell yes! I took one for a spin on a ride and drive. It is not the fastest of cars, but it handles like it is on rails. It reminds me of throwing around my old CRX Si in the curvy back roads of WV.

Alright, I work for Acura. I have a really good way to fix this. Stop offering a car that has all the goodies of your flagship model at less the price. I speak of the TL SH-AWD. You can get a TL AWD with the Advance package for $6K less than the RL. AND it is better looking! It essentially is the same car: AWD,…

You, sir, are right about that. I cannot believe I forgot about Zathras.

Holy crap. I am beginning to think there is a curse on this show. Principal cast members that have passed:

Charlie, I got hooked on this show from your awesome recap of the first episode. I also have to admit that the mythos are a little confusing at the end. But I think that is point. Bootstrap paradoxes can be mind-boggling in themselves. I think the key can be related back to your first recap. Who are the good guys…

Please.

HA! And people call me crazy for shredding all my CC receipts. Okay, yes, I may be still crazy.

Because I want 3 pedals. I do not care if you think manuals are too "old school", that I need to join the 21st century, the days of better fuel economy with manuals have gone the way of the dodo, or if I am just plain stubborn. I love my 6-speed Accord; it is tied with my old CRX-Si as my favorite car. Allow me to…

This is one of the bigger reasons why I choose not to ride anymore. People see this and stereotype all riders as being as stupid as this asshat. I considered myself to be a skilled yet responsible rider. Whenever I wanted to throw down some speed and skill, I took it to the track.

This is very similar to the Airbus airframe the Coast Guard uses. The HU-144A Ocean Sentry is the medium range multipurpose fixed-wing currently being implemented. It also uses the Lockheed Martin pallet electronic system. My wife is an avionics technician for those.

Ah yes, those were the days. All the ground meat I get at the store is crap anymore.
