Because getting a GODDAMNED WARRANT is sooooooooo pre-9/11.

Looks like Toyota hired some designers from the late Spyker Squadron design house... and got them drunk as hell.

Katie can rest her feet in my lap any day. She's still one of the most amazing women in entertainment.

The difference isn't in propulsion - hydrogen cars /are/ electric (and they MOVE nicely). Difference is in range and refueling. Since the industry will never agree on common standards for modular swappable batteries (which you'd theoretically exchange spent ones for fresh at a charging station, much the same as we do…

The biggest obstacles to a "fill 'er up at home" rig are cost and safety. The initial cost of getting a natural gas refilling station installed in your garage (assuming you don't run afoul of some law on the books) is up in the thousands, and the average Bubba is lucky he can find his ass with both hands, much less…

Having test-driven a hydrogen-powered car on the streets of DC, I can tell you the minimal dynamics (those of a commuter vehicle) are more than covered. Tesla's roadster is pure-electric, runs on batteries, and takes hours to charge. Hydrogen cars refill the same as you would with gasoline, and offer similar range —…

What, no Sandero? James May is not amused...

... and a Toronto-area BMW dealer is doing something quite similar: [endrasbmw.com]

Curse you - CURSE YOU - for getting my hopes up for a split-second, as I barely began to cheer at the thought of Gawker's embarrassing redo finally being chewed up and spit out in favor of something, of ANYTHING else... And then I looked at the clock. :P

I *knew* I wasn't seeing things at Sebring last week: [chaosart.com]

The blame isn't squarely on any President; I was jabbing the current one because he's an easy target (and because he hasn't done away with most of the BS laws he'd previously pledged to tear down).

Not quite Amy Winehouse's crack pipe, but definitely a pipe-hitter.

"Change we can believe in."

I wouldn't say that Chris Bangle is the Charlie Sheen of auto designers... but I'd bet good money they have some of the same contacts in the pharmaceutical industry.

I have voicemails my wife left 2 years ago, and ones she left last week. I may be a sentimental fool, but I just cannot delete those.

At least she won't be wrecking another Ferrari... or was it a Lamborghini? I'm sure she's long since forgotten as well...

@rabbitangstrom: Ferrara has worked with Leary for years on "Rescue Me." They have an existing rapport... and the interview STILL sucked.

@RtFusion: My wife answered that question as soon as we finished watching the episode: "Jezza would get everyone out on the track, and the 3 US guys would get a flaming Morris Marina dropped on them. And then, just to make sure that hideous Rut Wood thing is dead, they'd drop a piano on top of that."

Dating back to the first series (or season, for us yanks) with Perry McCarthy as His Stigness, there has always been more than one Stig to suit up and take to the track. There is one "principal" driver as the Stig, but occasionally others fill-in as needed.

@tdel23: Pontiac made a similar mistake when Bob Lutz ordered the Holden Monaro brought over to the USA. If they'd called it the Beast, the Monster, or the Pretty Petunia Scallywag, it would've flown off dealer lots. The market for a hot new muscle car may have been a bit tepid, but the Monaro would've established…
