One of the independent stations in town (Charlotte) will often televise those matches — I found them extremely entertaining!

I’ve driven only two: one in a Kia Optima which I found to be insufferable, and one in a Golf GTI which was actually not bad. Still, as far as automatics go I’d prefer a regular one over a DCT or CVT.

You are an Ambassador of appropriate puns.

I thought the same thing too!

Mazda Millenia says “ouch!”

With great names like Stephen J. Cannell, Mike Post, Pete Carpenter, and Walter Murphy, how could it not be?  Actually...that’s one of the few 80s shows I’ve never even heard of and must now find!

We just have to make sure that the eyes are drawn in the right spot.

C3: Okay, folks, thank you all for gathering today. We called this emergency meeting to discuss the overwhelming press coverage of the new C8 and what must be done to divert attention away from it.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

If you use the Orlove Scale, just remember you have to flip the numbers over first.

(With proper disclosure that I really focus on state and local taxes and see this more on the back end...and that this is not tax advice so be sure to consult your own tax adviser...)

That’s exactly why I, a full-fledged accountant, stopped commenting on websites years ago. It takes me great restraint not to respond to glaringly obvious misconceptions (such as companies don’t pay tax on foreign income anymore -- such a ridiculous generalization), but the blowback I’d get isn’t worth it.

I’m no engine expert, but I noticed that the torque is less than the HP on a turbo engine.  I don’t recall ever seeing a forced-induction engine with more HP than torque.
