It's strangely wonderful how your mind works. Seriously.

I've already gotten so much enjoyment from that pic, and the day is young.

This was the best-written NPoCP ever.

I'm shocked a car made like a styrofoam cooler doesn't appear to have a cupholder carved out of it somewhere.

This.

I started hearing "grom" set to the pink panther theme.

I hope you had at least half as much fun writing this as I did reading it. Another great piece!

Only now, years later, did I see this. Thank you.

Perhaps the only people still buying Mitsubishis are the people who've previously owned one?

I'm with you, especially about Acura. It makes me sad just to think about how far they've fallen, especially in innovation, fun to drive, and styling—enough with the beaks, already.

Okay, I'm a Honda fan who isn't that excited about a lot of their recent stuff (I own an NSX). Talking with a pilot friend, I asked about the HondaJet, expecting him to be disappointed.

I've always sort of wanted an RV, anyway, since they satisfy that same part of my brain that loves Salyut space station interiors and gets off on extreme space utilization.

Wait, Doug has a Ferrari?

I just always assumed it was a Clark Kent / Superman sort of deal.

Do you not understand how large numbers work? I have a feeling the author of this piece wanders into a grocery store, opens up a carton of eggs and goes "Man, there must be millions of eggs in there, I can't even count them all. It's uncountable."
