Bring the wagon and keep the price within $1-2K of that and I will NP one right off the showroom floor.

It didn't need less power, they just needed to smooth out the delivery.

Quoth James May: " A ticket to a festival of plastic death"

"Foreign Limosine" is going on my list of potential band names.

The runner up to the CR-V was actually a Forester. We've had loads of both Hondas and Subarus in the family, both great cars though I am not overly excited with the direction Subaru has taken in recent years.

For the New England variation on this, I nominate the CR-V which I got my mom to buy. All the same benefits of the Accord plus AWD. As a bonus, the higher ride height makes getting in an out a bit easier, especially after a knee replacement.

I have two cats. If someone can bring a 914/6 we can go all Mythbusters on your assessment.

That Zen thing extended to the showroom floor as well. One summer afternoon while I was in my college years, I drove around to various luxury car dealerships to look at cars. My dad was in the market so I was just poking around to see some stuff in person. Went to BMW to see the then-new 8-series, they had a stick up…

Best use of snowboards EVER.

Years ago I stopped at a rest area in Connecticut in the middle of a drive from NYC to Boston. Walking in, I admired a Miata with its top down and I fondly remembered the times I'd gotten to drive one and I envied the owner. As I walked past, I looked in and noticed it was an automatic. I shook my head in…

I was scratching my head after the first Twitter pics but it looks great in these photos. I actually really like it, especially with the yellow calipers. Kudos to Jay Kay for making the bold choice, I probably would have just opted for plain old red. I'd love to see a photo of this next to a red one and a white one.

Looks like Automan updated the Countach to an SLS in that last photo.

Awesome choice! I have had a chance to see him many times and I love how he applies his current sound to the classics,but about 3-4 years ago he toured the Pleasure Principle album, playing it in sequence ('Metal' being the 2nd track) and in the original synth-only style - it was amazing.

Now you're just being cynical. They will totally have refreshed the livery by then.

Needed a quick flash of a pupil dilating, then it would have been perfect.

Seriously, it's a beautiful part of nature. If Delta showed buffalo grazing on the prairie or Half Dome to represent the US, I certainly wouldn't be offended.

IIRC they didn't really get along with each other either., which adds to the impressiveness of the accomplishment.

And he's the craziest one of the bunch, which I guess being the shirtless guy at a go-kart track is obligatory in and of itself.

Have your cousin play you one of the current performances of "Cars" (I will assume he has one of the several recent live recordings). It works just as well as a guitar-driven industrial piece as it did in its synth-only original format.

Yeah, that was a remix disc he released around '93 with a bunch of new versions of the single. He's great, and his newer material is fantastic. He played Boston a couple of months ago - awesome show as always.
