"perhaps driving around other people."

It's the modern equivalent of "Dear Penthouse Letters, I never thought this would happen to me ..."

Very informational rant. I only know what I've read in the international news and on Jalopnik about German unions.

He wanted total control, the network was using his show a way he didn't want. Actually a pretty interesting story to the whole thing.

It's uncommon, but not without precedent: Look at Anthony Bourdain who abandoned "No Reservations" after a good long run, to end up on CNN.

So, while some sites are a little more alarmist and predicting the final demise of Top Gear, I'm a little skeptical BBC's going to be so quick to give up this huge, profitable, series. Even when Clarkson does something awful, it's not like we just all roll our eyes and ignore it — hell, I'm up at almost 2 am writing…

I gathered MLB was best. I wanted to know how they all stacked up together. The NBPA looks like they're growing teeth. What about soccer? Hockey?

I was thinking NFLPA was low on the pole.

I have a friend with the "regular" silver VW wagon. I see that color all the time now, even though it's a wagon, which is an anomaly.

"It doesn't even matter where he or she stands on the issues; it would be worth it just to watch these morons cry and shit themselves."

Just out of curiosity, how would your rate the major U.S. sports unions: baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer in terms of negotiating strength. Who's most likely to get the best concessions?

I have a black car right now, and I have resolved that my next car will not be the same color as 1/2 of the other cars in the parking lot. :)

It kinda looked like the front started going a little sideways and the frame snapped. Damn, that tub must be strong.

Volkswagen's Autostadt complex is worth a trip for the glass car silos alone. What else could make getting a Golf that exciting?

Could you possibly add a section to the AP Stylebook on the usage of Shade? Also, why do assholes like Rudy 9/11 Guiliani never just retire to their mansion and STFU?

Because of course they do.

There is precedent:

You've never heard of David Vitter, R-La., then.

You can't make me! :P ;)

And replacement blades will cost 3X as much as the original kit.
