Hey Raph... you should have Jalopnik do an in-depth article on car restoration. See if you can convince gawker to use the Baja Bug as the guinea pig for the article and get them to foot the bill on a full blown restoration of that car.

"Let it loose". You realize these things are human controlled right? They aren't some intelligent designed robots.

So what you're suggesting is our air force *could* have "accidentally" let one of their drones loose?

Really, the term is a bogus catch phrase. Even I have sunk into this hole. Maybe semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft systems could be considered drones, but even those have some man in the loop control.

Ironically it's probably the MOST minivan of minivans, because it's actually somewhat mini (compared to the rest of the current market) and is probably more utilitarian in nature than most other vans.

Oh definitely, the 6 speed mazda5 is truly wonderous. I would say test drive both. If this transit still has memories of the old world in its bones it might still be fun to drive, even if there are only two pedals.

It's there for all the manual ones they sell in the rest of the world.

Alright guys, let's have a talk:

Can I just stick with Fly-fi? It's proven to work fairly well from what I've heard and it's not going to be reinventing standards in the sky. (Although, all Flyfi is and its' ground-based cousin Exede is just glorified WiMAX.)
