The Nissan Patrol. The official car of the third world.

I'm starting to feel bad for Toyota.

@draechon: If the beige is why you have a hate-on for Toyota, wouldn't anything not-beige be cause to celebrate, rather than hate irrationally?

Can you also make fat, hairy people? Because I find that much more amusing.

@AirForceWeather: I think your assumptions about joyriders are inaccurate. They love what they can get their hands on. The people who I know who had their cars stolen by joyriders had crapcans like a Ford Aspire, and one of the most popular choices for them is the '96 Dodge Caravan.

@JDickson87: I'm talking about the old-school keys, the ones with nothing in them - I've seen a few posts with pictures of them specifically, or references to much older cars. Thieves love those things, top stolen cars in my area are all pre-98.

I'm finding the people bragging how they've got old-school metal keys so they don't have to worry are rather naive. Know what's stolen way more than any other car? Cars with old-school metal keys.

@stöke never shifts into reverse without a backup plan: Not sure if I completely agree on the metal key. I was just talking to a police officer who deals in auto theft, he was telling me that pre-fancy stuff cars tend to be stolen significantly more often, because it's stuff relatively simple people - joyriders and

@Jackie: Manual transmissions, the most fun you can have with an anti-theft device.

I suppose it'd make sense if you were robbing a bank. "Screw the fleet of Minis, let's take a fleet of the most forgettable cars possible!"

@Zer0OrDie: Small cars sell quite well in countries that aren't the USA. Bland cars sell quite well everywhere, annoying as that is.

In other news, 15 socially awkward obsessive weirdos are excited that attractive movie lady acknowledges their existence. This is the first time a woman who is not their mother has acknowledged their existence in their lifetime.

@cesca07: IIRC vsXIII hasn't actually been in development the entire time, the team was pulled to help finish other projects several times over the course of those 8 years.

@Souffrir: I dunno, his "Zippers, zippers, everywhere!" aesthetic is getting on my nerves.

@I Can be Stig?: Racing against that thing in GT5 is harrowing. So fast!

@jepzilla: Why is Jobs' inevitable successor going to change around the entire corporate structure? If Jobs genuinely loves Apple, he's already planning for succession, and I doubt that the company will mess with those plans since it is raking in the profits. You're suggesting a massive corporate upheaval of a

@Monty: Some cases companies get better after their vocal, personality-driven founder and CEO steps down. Ford would probably have gone out of business if Henry Ford wasn't forced out when he was.
