First land-based vehicle I've come across with a Hobbs meter...

I do taxes for a living and haven't gotten laid in...let's just say a long time. Does this mean I'll get a bitchin' deal on my next car!?!?!

I don't know how many different FoMoCo vehicles you've designed pushbuttons for, but the first time I drove a second-gen Focus, the quality feel really, really impressed me.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why GM, Hyundai, and apparently now Chrysler use the same basic steering wheel design — wings on the side, with the bottom spoke a vee shape. I don't want to get into a "copying" pissing match, but surely with all of the talented auto designers out there we can get something a…
