How Many Drinks Was That? Colbert Gives Jalopnik A Hummer Edition
I feel this morning, after my few fleeting moments on The Colbert Report last night in a segment called "The Difference Makers" on the National Hummer Club, giddy as a little schoolboy. Despite my obvious concern that I'd be the butt of the joke, I was relieved to find I escaped unscathed — certainly doing better than GM Vice Chairman "Maximum" Bob Lutz. But, thanks to the Hummer Club coming through with some seriously juicy A-game level quotes, my ass was spared — only taking a minor humorous hit from an on-screen double entendre. Frankly, given the 40 minutes of nervous Q&A I went through last week where the segment producer extracted quite a few potential sharp-edged zingers, I figured I'd probably take a bigger hit than a throw-away blow job joke. But, despite the setting not being the usual places of punditry, it's now time to ask the same question we always ask after a night playing the Official Car Pundit Drinking Game. How many drinks was that? If you missed the segment — hit the jump to see it in full from Hulu, or follow this link to the Colbert Nation website to see my two cut-ins there. More » -

The Post Where We Casually Mention Our Appearance Tonight On The Colbert Report
OMG! So, if you happen to have your TV on tonight at 11:30 EST, you may want to flip over to Comedy Central's Colbert Report as we've buried our hatchet with Stephen (we know he's apologized in his heart). I'll be appearing on tonight's show (depending on whether they run the piece tonight — I've been told these things are mighty finicky) in a taped segment (sorry guys, no head-to-head a la Lutz) on Hummer. I've no idea whether I'll be pro-Hummer, anti-Hummer or somewhere in between. What I do know is that I'm more than likely going to look like an ass. You know what? I'm OK with that. But, as we always do, regardless of the outlet, it's now time for another round of the world's only Official Car Pundit Drinking Game. So, as I join "Maximum" Bob Lutz as the only other car guy to make it on The Report, what're tonight's rules?

With news that GM may be halting new truck development, our good friends at the Fox Business Network just had to have us back, which means another episode of the official car pundit drinking game.

And to Buckster, I took your advice and gave "1984 Tom Cruise" his hair back. -

Official Car Pundit Drinking Game: Luxury Cars And WTF Is High-Test Fuel?
For those of you who don't get Fox Business Network but do like to drink in the middle of the day, we've pulled down the video of Hardigree rapping about fuel prices and luxury cars.

We're going to add "massive eyebrow shifts" to the rules of the official car pundit drinking game so call a cab or take the train home.

Official Car Pundit Drinking Game: Is The UAW Relevant?
We mean, they did shut down a Fortune 500 company for two-and-a-half days so I'd probably have to say at the moment they are. Be that as it may, I'll be on CNBC's "On The Money" at 7:00 PM EST tonight answering that question among other laborgasmic issues in the wake of the end of the multi-day strike of General Motors and the landmark labor agreement — so turn it on to hear the answer. Or turn it on just to watch Melissa Francis. Either way we'll bet the CNBC folks will be happy. Oh, and before we forget — drop us some new rules in the only Official Car Pundit Drinking Game in the comments below. And as always, if you're confused about what's going on — hit up here for the answers.
