Well, there was a story in the Charlotte Observer this past Sunday that said we're having an increase in the number of meth labs here in the state...I suppose this is proof positive.

Pardon me while I head back to ca.jalopnik.com so I can heart-click you. I hate those damned commercials too.

@The Honey Badger: Charlie...is that you?

I knew it — the moment I read the post, I knew it would be selected as the QOTD.

Screw you guys — I didn't want to be in charge anyways.

@Kangaru: That's pretty much how I live my life...stay low and fly under the radar. I never want to be #1 since everyone is always trying to throw you off the pedestal. That, and I don't handle failure very well.

Here's a shot of the owner. Such a cute couple. Be careful, you crazy kids!

You guys have it all wrong. Someone in Brookings, Oregon, bought a new 458. The Brookings fire department was a little short on training to fight automobile fires, and the county had just bought a new 2011 Charger, so they made a deal. It's a win-win situation as far as I'm concerned.

@dontloseyourdinosaur: Oh — and I think the keychain thing is an awesome idea! I wonder if I know anyone in the property manager's office....

@dontloseyourdinosaur: Yep, falling windows. Several items fell during construction, including a steel or concrete beam on top of a bus (no injuries, fortunately — just the driver was inside and it hit the rear of the bus).

That's my building! I have a cool video somewhere from when they were testing out the lights and they cycled through pretty much every possible combination, including rainbows and red, white, and blue. Very cool. The green was pretty cool on St. Patty's Day.

@zerobandwidth: Aaaah, very interesting...thank you, kind sir!

Sorry — I guess I was a bit vague—

Nibbles! (Sorry - please disregard...)

This is the view from my desk at work. (Cell phone picture — sorry.) Parking lot, Charlotte Convention Center, and the building with the silver curved front and associated office tower behind it is the Redneck Hall...I mean, NASCAR Hall of Fame. The silver part has some LED lights embedded in it, and they change…

Can I admit something and not have you all laugh at me.....?

Come on, Jerry! From one Cosmo to another, I can smell a crack pipe when I see one! Now, if they drop the price by about three grand and throw in some Kenny Rogers Roasters gift certificates, then we might have a deal.

FYI to all — I was finally able to find an official dealership list from the Fiat USA website:
