Oh you guys thought that DARPA was just funding a pet? How cute.

There is something so calming about Motorweek. It’s like watching fish with nowhere to be.

True story, two years ago took my jetta to a tire shop to have new tires put on that I provided. Went to pick up the car and was told “sorry it’s not ready yet”. They had the vehicle for a entire day...so I waited another day, still not ready. Finally I drove by and saw it on the lift so I walked into the bay to find…

Pro union or not I support this strike.  As with many other companies that make ridiculous profit and yet pay there employees pennies on the dollar I am happy to see the workers stand up to big corporations.

You witnessed an accident and left the scene?
Is that okay in New York? It isn’t in Virginia.

You are a terrible person, Erik Shilling.

If all the car makers go subscription, then I want my Taco Bell ‘batin channel! And I’ll deserve it too with my University of Wal Mart diploma!
