Neutral: Does not being able to buy a Ferrari make you want it more?

Children aged 6-12 have more influence on their parents' pocketbooks than anyone else. PewDiePie's entire reputation is built on having the most Youtube subscribers on the entire planet. And most of those are children. Do the math.

The only stat that matters is APM.

How long until we start talking about a breakup of GM? They're exhibiting exactly the same kind of behavior as the megabanks: too big to fail, too big to care.

I'd eat a Pikachu lemon square.

Play Congressman, what would you ask Mary Barra on the stand?

San Francisco may be the perfect place to own an electric car. Or maybe Los Angeles or Charlottesville. Somewhere with a generally temperate climate because, as the AAA told USA Today, research shows that the average range of a car drops 57% in extreme cold and 33% in extreme heat.

How does this guy even fit into the cockpit?

They updated their online configurator. It's no coincidence that the "value edition" TDI is $2k less than the standard TDI. The cheaper TDI is based on the lowest trim level available. (Jetta TDI = Jetta SE, Jetta Value Edition TDI = Jetta S)

I voted my bracket, but it looks like I underestimated the love people have for the Prelude and Spider.

People buy new cars.

If they can correct any of World of Tanks' shortcomings (writ large: view range, damage modeling and camouflage) they'll have a winner on their hands.

To be fair, Germany didn't block Youtube. Youtube chooses not to do business in Germany mostly because Germany's equivalent to the RIAA (but worse) has made extraordinarily stupid demands. That and the fact that unlike in the US, there is no safe harbor provision in German law for copyrighted content posted by third…

2012's supervolcano eruption in Yellowstone would have destroyed most of the northwestern United States.

I was Raimundo in Spanish class, on the track I will be known as

Even though I'm tempted to fill out the whole bracket I'm going to limit myself to one stage this week.

What did VW delete to make room for the "value edition" TDIs? Or is this just noise to cover up one of the first big incentives they've ever offered (in my memory at least)? The third possibility is that now that the word is out on the street that there's a new engine in town and it won't be here until the 2015 model…

As much as I want to say Emerald or Ruby Weapon just for grins, or several unique weapons from Final Fantasy Tactics (being able to kill monsters by swinging a handbag is hilarious) I'm going to go with Princess Ovelia's dagger. It's a humble weapon, but it empowers her and leads to one of the most poignant scenes in…
