Vettel was definitely better on Top Gear!

As a Sansa Clip user that got so angry at iTunes I nearly physically washed it out of my computer with hydrochloric acid before I finally found and switched to MediaMonkey, I have to agree with you on the "half-asses the rest."

My takeaway from this is that Vettel is smarter than Letterman by a minimum of 30 IQ points. To keep up with Letterman's ADHD style of "interviewing" requires a sharp mind, and Vettel pulled it off without getting flustered once.

That would have been hilarious.

The reason to learn to configure your .bat is so that you have control over your own computer. Same for the battery on a phone. If you can't open it, you don't really own it.

My husband's laptop is on it's tenth (TENTH!) year. Still functioning well. We routinely use it for streaming video, and it didn't even have the most RAM available at the time we purchased it (in 2002.) It's running Windows XP, which we have also never had any trouble with.

Three purple Veyrons, one pink one, and a white one in the center. If they're going to have an Advent Wrath, it should be liturgically correct!

Oh, yes, I routinely sacrifice facts and knowledge on the altar of attempted humor!

>it will be more expensive

It would really suck if your boss happened to be in the car you accidentally transmitted to. Whoops.

...real-time crowd-sourced traffic information

Hey, since the Vauxhall is a convertible, perfectly fit for top-down cruises under the starts, they could call it the Astranomical.

>right, but the startling doesn't require an outburst of that nature

You've missed my point. If you SEE the vehicle, you're not going to be startled by the loud noise. It's the startling that's the unpleasant thing.

I was waiting for the "joke", and it never really came.

That was a waste of a minute and a half of my life.

Because Harleys are as American as the classic muscle car. I might not have any desire to own one myself, but I'm glad they exist. (I just wish some of the owners weren't so obnoxious with them.)

I love the sound of exotic engines. I nearly wept the first time I heard a Ferrari owner rev his 458 Italia. I can happily spend a whole evening at a dirt track listening to modifieds and Sprint cars.

There's enjoying the sound, when you're expecting to hear it That's one thing.
