First time: Mall parking lot in Austin. Dude pulled a sawed off on me after I parked (he was mad that I was going the correct way down a one way parking aisle and he had to back up, as he was going the wrong way). I grabbed it, realized it was unloaded, hit it against his roof, and told him to F off. He left. True…

really america? GM motors?

"Is this a 500E?" I asked.

Great. It's really powerful and very fast despite being only a 4-speed auto. I enjoyed driving it. Handling was very Mercedes-Benz — old school, somewhat heavy steering, but planted and secure.

Yeah. I didn't really feel bad. And the dealer didn't tell me about him, how the hell was I supposed to know?

I love those forum guys that "claim" they already had dibs on a car. Dibs dont exist in real life kids.

Wow- first time I've heard of such a thing, and from an IT perspective, it's a great hack to be able to do all of that on a puny little PDP 11.

I'm always so relieved when you write articles that stem from real passion rather than your occasional 60 Minutes-style takedowns of various things automotive. It's fun to debunk but they're a bit curmudgeonly in their nature and make me a little sad because you seem like a kindred spirit. Also, the real advantage…

Their screams and moaning are actually hilarious, I feel bad.

I live in South Georgia... I had not idea of what you were talking about until I read the article and was like, "Oh, not Redneck South Georgia".

yeah except he has a company of over 3000 employees

Who are you and what are you doing here

What the fuck are you talking about?

Well he should relax. How long can this thing actually run without a Ford dealership around anyway?

Why would that possibly matter? Honda makes appliances you can drive and fall alseep at the wheel to, how does Acura not make more sense?
