"A turnaround expert with a record of changing a dysfunctional culture? That's pretty close to the job description the White House has in mind for someone to head the VA," USA TODAY Washington Bureau chief Susan Page said when asked about Mulally. "The problem is not only running a massive bureaucracy. It's also…

It's so twitchy. It looks like it should be stable. Like he's so hopped up on Redbull and My Little Pony that driving a straight line is just ... impossible.

What happens when you hit a car at a couple hundred miles an hour? Wait, what car were we talking about? I don't see anything.

I wonder if DHS has heard about this new feature in technology called the "hard reset". Allegedly - and this is mere speculation - performing this difficult technical exercise will return the system to a default state. After looking at Dektronics web page, it appears to be a rather complicated process consisting of…

I agree with you. My statement was a tongue-in-cheek reflection that absolute, unequivocal statements have a tendency to bite the stater in the ass.

Dennis Williams, the ex-Marine finance guy who just took over as president of the UAW, used his opening speech to say he doesn't want to give up concessions. http://www.detroitnews.com/article/201406...

So, all four Senators and however many Representatives will be applying pressure to the mayor and the council to eliminate the plan.

This is never going to get implemented. If the council votes to approve the measure, the mayor has the power to veto it, which would most likely happen given who is being taxed - hint: it's not DC residents but mostly VA and MD suburbanites who work in the city. That means what should be a city growth and improvement…

This makes my shifter-fingers tingle.

Barrel rolling a 707.

Neutral: Do You Expect To Get EPA Mileage?

Same goes for situations on, say, the highway where someone is following you far too closely to stop safely if they had to. Say you're both doing 70 and they're two car lengths behind you. That's not uncommon at all, and if you had to stop suddenly, that car behind you would rapidly be climbing into your back seat.…

WRX.

Also, everyone in D.C. sucks at driving and the speed limits are too damn low, but that's just my two cents. It's not based on anything scientific, I think.

Yeah... According to Wolfram Alpha, it's a bit shy of 120mph, which means that Omega was probably doing 140-150 mph.

Reminds me of this video that went around a few years ago starring a Swedish cop car and an Omega (action starts around :40):
