Stupidity would be an improvement. This is a colossal travesty. Oddly enough, no matter which Republocrat is in office this kind of rampant abuse of power continues unabated. As long as prison industry lobbyists keep giving bags of money to the Congresscritters this tragedy will only get worse.

He's a saucy minx.

Having had my house ransacked by burglars, my Scirocco purloined and my girlfriend's VW Cabriolet gutted (to steal a broken Audiovox stereo) I can assure you the concept of the smoking crater car alarm appeals to me. Luckily for everyone, I don't act on my impulses.

I've got a car alarm for you. Instead of a loud siren or flashing lights to alert that your car is being purloined, this alarm will notify you by massively exploding the car + the intruder(s) into a smoking crater. Make sure your car is insured for unexplained explosions and sleep worry-free.

Wake up Super Kiwi! The left lane is FOR PASSING - so "going the speed limit" is irrelevant if not outright apocryphal. The bikers were wrong for blocking traffic - what if this woman in her Volvo had an emergency, was about to drop twins (or a deuce) or worse? I ride motorcycles and I don't support their pwning of…

It just hit me: this is a mashup of Breakfast at Tiffany's & Vanishing Point.

That's an AWESOME time capsule of a movie, very evocative of a time and a place I'll never know. Thanks for making me aware of it!

That damned animated gif gave me a seizure.

So if I'm looking down at my Garmin and entering an address, an operation possibly more distracting than when performed on an Android, I'm okay because my Garmin can't make phone calls?

I'm eaten up with curiosity about SC300's. They're at the bottom of their depreciation curve and still look fresh against today's offerings. As much as I like the e28, I think you made the better choice.

How's your Russian / Mandarin Chinese language acquisition coming along - or did you not have a plan B?

Amazing DC product placement. TapouT are totally envious.

Had our intrepid, cool-headed pilot exited his vehicle the story would have read more like last year's tragic coma-inducing beatdown: http://jalopnik.com/5927163/man-pu… I sent James Foster a donation. If I could I'd send Lehman a bag to tie over his head until he suffocated.

I try. I was also once married to a grammar nazi who'd rake me over hot coals for ending a sentence with a preposition.

I once dated a girl that I had a lot of banal sex with.

There's too much pressure to post or aggregate stuff posted elsewhere. Some of my favorite auto blog sites do this (Bangshift you need to clean your act up!) so I'm glad that there's still places like TheTruthAboutCars where they only post their own content, not rubber-stamped flotsam from wherever.

Even if you were right (which you aren't), I completely don't understand why anyone would give a shit that a fictional character was based upon another quasi-real character.

Easy. Harleys are the de facto, unimaginative obvious choice for men having a late mid-life crisis and Cobras are their noisy, flashy four-wheeled alternative. The love I had for them when I was a kid has been extinguished. However for those of us who enjoy individuality there's always the Sunbeam Tiger or Triumph TR8…

I'd really like to know how the torque steer monster has been tamed in modern front wheel drive cars. Other than that, I don't see that there's been any more than slight, incremental improvement in front wheel drive sports cars since these very capable cars were released.

Cobra replicas are the car substitute for Harley Davidson numbnuts. Noisy, brash and increasingly common. I can't stand them. I'd wear a bag over my head if I had to drive one.
