So you didn't watch Le Mans this year and you don't follow ALMS, do you?

They are monsters! And not very professional. Everyone knows that the stolen parts market is really about quantity - Japanese sedans and American trucks are where the money is.

I can't imagine the market for chop-shop parts is very big for GTs and the risk is pretty high because the small number of GTs make them so traceable. Why would they do that?

...until Disney buys Activision.

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, but I think the PSN store is probably too small a market for a company used to Apple and Google's smartphone userbases.

Originality is overrated. Only execution matters.

It isn't unprecedented at all. They cast Buddy Hackett in The Love Bug and he was as foul-mouthed a comedian as there ever has been. And in the 90s, Bob Saget starred in Full House, which I think was an ABC (and thus Disney) property.

So what car do you have and where do you track it? Oh wait, you didn't mean a real racer, you meant a "real" racer didn't you?

Good analogy. And just like Beatles vs. Rolling Stones, it's fine to prefer one or the other but if you don't ultimately love them both it's your loss.

Well, for one thing the GT40 and GT had very distinctive, underdesigned rear panels. They were flat with round lights. This has a bit of Mustang and a bit of the Aston Martin light shape (though none of that prettiness). It doesn't feel GT-ish

Ha! I knew it. My first thought was "What will $kay think" and my second was "Hmmm...don't know if she's gonna like that back end. It's a bit too Mustangy with those lights".

You won this. I concede your genius. Move on.

Sorry to disappoint, but there are indeed Pasadena area private schools that have celeb photographers doing kids' pics.

You're right. Wealth and success is bad. Only those who fail to achieve much in life are noble. You go get 'em, you awesome diamond. America thanks you for all that you do.

So parents of kids at private schools in California are responsible for shitty Philadelphia public schools? Shouldn't responsibility for those bad schools lie at the feet of voters in the Philadelphia area who collectively made choices over time that led to the current situation? Isn't any money being spent to take…

Lightning McQueen is red. This is a poorly faked Lightning! Why would you want a Lightning that doesn't look like Lightning?

Microsoft have no obligation to allow free speech. The government does. Microsoft claim to be interested in cleaning up the Xbox Live community, but do nothing in this case. It is in no way a free speech issue. There is an awful lot of middle ground between arresting and charging someone with and felony on one…

Lawyer up, lady. Don't trust an adversarial party (that only benefits from inaction) to do what they say they will.

Sorry, in retrospect I started that poorly. I wasn't arguing against your point. If anything I was agreeing with your premise and using it as a rhetorical stepping-off point. I could've done that much better. No more sleepy posting.

I think you answered your own question. You think the ethanol mandates (and research grants, and tax exemptions, etc.) are the result of the relatively small and poorly financed environmental lobby? Or maybe we should follow the money straight to the middle of the country and look at all that corn. I wonder if…
