That’s an awesome rundown of cars that clearly didn’t have what it took to best the Chevette. I think the Chevette might have been more of a sleeper than I realized. Man, I can’t believe she totaled it within two weeks! Ah, what a waste!

That’s not a spec.B is it? Don’t see a moon roof, so I’m guessing not. Had a shot at getting one of those recently, and it slipped away, but I did get to test drive it. Still, that’s a beautiful Legacy!

My dad had a Chevette in the 1980s. Honestly, we couldn’t break that car, and we knew it was unusual for the model. I’m sure he paid no more than $9,000 for it new. It was base-base-base, including the stick shift. I loved driving it as a youngster.

Read the sample. Bought it. Gonna be a good weekend. College football, shining up the WRX, plus this.

Thanks for the post. Another school to strike off the list of places that I would consider sending my daughter or my sons.

Doug,

Thrilled to have read this!

I was just surprised as Beck when I saw he'd won. Suddenly I had someone in my collection that won a Grammy. I was like, really? I mean Morning Phase is amazing (your immersive headphone concentration suggestion is dead on), and when I first got it I listened to it for a month.

Kirk,

Dude, I just spent that much replacing vinyl Miata top with a rag top, and I'll never go hard top. I'm not a purist, but it just feels right. And CLOTH is waaaaaay better than rubber. Also, the top lasted 7 years. That's like $142 a year or 39 cents a day. Whatever.

That's a mighty list. Putting it on the fridge. Checking them off as I watch them (again).

When their tongues met there was no going back for Abdel. His eyes burned in his head and he surrendered to the strange woman's rhythms the same way he surrendered to the clanging-steel rhythms of an opponent. They came together in the same kind of hesitant, exploratory dance of two swordsmen parrying blows and…

Makes me want to drop my phone on the floor.

That's easy. Eternal Darkness by Silicon Knights. I picked it out of the Gamecube bargain bin at Kmart, and the first time my television changed its volume by itself while I was playing, I was hooked and freaked. I bought it because it was cheap, and I was bored. I had no idea what I was in for. Very organic reaction.

Stop challenging their assumptions by being a person who doesn't fit in with the motif, dammit!

Wish I could recommend this about 10 times.

Yup, and "If I didn't know this, then no one else did either." Truly, it's easier to report when you just use yourself as a point of reference. That being said, I like NPR and All Things Considered even when I'm working on my car with my daughter.

I can attest that the Macbook Air is as close as you are going to get to the perfect Ultrabook on the market today.

Can you imagine the setup before the shot.

Actually, that explains a lot more than this.
