The spiritual comment instantly reminded me of seeing some Buddhists come to the Natural Science Museum in Houston to build a Sand Mandala. They showed up in their baby blue Astro Van and spent hours pouring sand onto a round table like thing making an intricate design. They let people take a look and promptly dumped…

@marklar: Jack Russell Terrier? (S)he probably calls 'em fur babies.

He was an atheist right? I am going to say he would drive an 1899 Horsey Horseless because it proves there is no God - as no omnipotent being would allow this.

@Rootski: John Lithgow?

Sad it wasn't one from the financial industry. Maybe if Goldman Sachs got between us and our cable - in a more direct way than hurting the economy to the point where we can't afford it anymore - we would have cared.

@two wheels are enough: I thought I read that they went missing because they were in a life boat and the Coast Guard was focusing on those in the water. If that is true, they probably still have rations and such.

At last, the silver lining to my friends being laid off.

@mytdawg: That pervy smile in the third one cracks me up. Why is Stormare such a car killer? This campaign AND the Dude's bitchin' Torino have died at his hands.

@snapoversteer's profile on Sikes's website has a misleading picture: One is paid for by our taxes and the other by companies ... that will pass it along to us. Damn, I thought I had something there.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I thought that was an awesome touch. Rifles over there are like samurai swords in ancient Japan. They are status symbols, cultural icons, good luck charms and weapons all at the same time. I guess it was the next best thing to having a camel in your trunk.

@evoCS-Hench-Minion to the stars: Seconded.

@Erwin: I smell the poop you're stepping in. When he said "Are we going sideways!?" something along those lines crossed my mind. That, and some flashbacks.

My favorite COTDTD (the last TD is for "to date").

Okay, I would like a follow up study of how well these guys drive in games and life because I cannot help but have a bad of case of I-could-do-that.

It is nice but too expensive. Plus, I'm a leg man so she's out too. I think she's got a tumor on her leg-pit.

To all my fellow citizens with low self esteem: Please own your insufficient self's. Just really, revel in your mediocrity. Make it your own. I want you to Stewart Smiley it up and just look at yourselves in the mirror and repeat after me: "meh".

@jmurph05: If done in moderation and without paint jobs that make my fictional epilepsy act up, I couldn't disagree more. I know it completely kills their truck-ability and they don't make great cars either but I will be damned if I don't love seeing the most American of rides made even more unnecessary and indulgent…

Love everything but the color. Slap a French's, Grey Pupon or Rhinegeld logo on it and we have a deal!

I can attest to how important hand placement can be in a wreck. When my Camaro was killed I surprisingly did the right thing and pulled my arms up and my hands around my head when impact was unavoidable. The only damage to my hands and arms were from my wrist slamming into the window instead of my head. That didn't…

Damn liberal media. When is Rupert Murdoch going to buy this site so I don't have to be bombarded by coverage of what happened to fans of a guy that represents a set of ideas that resemble American conservatism about as well as Yosemite Sam? This is clearly a slight against my pious ways.
