Ahhh... you win! Clicky!
But did you put cinnamon in it? That's the nagging question for me right now.
They could always do turbo-diesels with RWD and manuals, and get GREAT mileage.
They just won't, because they put their eggs in the hybrid/electric basket.

The USA had 13 Colonies to start off with. So far, that has been pretty lucky.
And then, there's MS13. They seem to be pretty lucky, as gangs go.
13 is a lucky number in some cosmologies.

And it's exactly crap like this that makes me hate the new GM so bad. Sure, they are The Bomb for the new CTS-V wagon with a manual. But let the market decide if it wants a Chevy RWD sedan, right?
Everything you said, Paul. But it's not the clap (gonorrhea). It's chlamydia in the koalas.
And let's not ponder too deeply, why koalas even have human STI's to begin with...

Great? This list doesn't even go to eleven... pffttt!!!
"..If Lulz is who they say they are, and not some state sponsored NSA/CIA/DARPA red team..."
Stage One: Identify the pool of likely suspects by use of simple detective principles. One of these, is looking for motive. Because there is such an inconvenient overgrowth of technically capable and proficient individuals who could do these things, it is easiest to lure out, and eliminate, those with intent to destroy things, by posing as an agency looking for such skills. This form of honeypot operation has been a characteristic of covert ops in the West for quite some time. So the motive, from an internet policing perspective, seems fairly compelling, for your 'red team' hypothesis.
Stage Two: Take out enough of those with such inclination, that it becomes impossible for the black hats to figure out who is, and who isn't, one of these honey pot operations, and thus destroy their networking and coordinated attack capability.
Stage Three: Mop up the isolated individual resistance, when they inevitably slip in security maintenance, and are detected. This is the longest phase, and generally takes the form of a continuing low intensity effort.
Just a thought.

I've said it before. Long, and low, or don't bother to show.
But instead, we got more baked potatoes on wheels. Lovely.
Take them away. I can get that from Lame Lexus.

The Commentariat is like unto a growing thing. The kind of comment you grow, is determined by the kind of conditions which you set for the site. When you had to know HTML in order to post interesting pictures and video, that limited things to a certain type of individual. Also, when you are moving into adspace revenue as the driver for decisions about the site, then the content has to drift away from the quirky, and into the mainstream. Which is lame.
I have only been impressed by 2-3 of the last 30 COTD's.
Still love the site though. And the remaining writers are trying to keep it fresh. Tom is a breath of fresh air on the weekends. And Ray is still, well, Ray. So there's that going for it. And, of course, you are here. Which rocks. Wes still gets a cameo from HFL at times.
The thing I am seeing that disturbs me the most, is the lack of cutting edge auto news articles. There's a bit too much safe stuff. And particularly annoying, is the retreat into a talk-radio troll baiting style of article, which used to NEVER be seen here.
But again, what are the alternatives?
I have been here less, because there is nothing that draws out the passion. And passion is needed for an enthusiast web site. I guess this isn't as much an enthusiast site anymore. More mainstream, as I say. This appears to be what GMN desires, but who can say? Ask Nick.
I just take it for what it is, and comment when it strikes me.

One would think that, as a Physics professor, he would have had a better appreciation of Newton's Third Law of Motion. You know the one.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
I guess he couldn't foresee the reaction to his, ummmm... action.

What is it with Disney, and their obsession with happy endings? I always feel like someone paid the masseusse, at the end of their films. Totally ruins suspension of disbelief.
I myself would be disgruntled, if tennis were forcibly dis-grunt-led.
Let the ladies whack the balls and grunt. This is simply as it should be.

Books are doomed. So is literacy. The only thing we will have left, if trends continue, is a bionic brain implant, giving us a constant Twitter feed. As long as that is playing, there will be no need for real communication. Ephemera, designed by our electronic overlords, will placate us, and bit by bit, complex thought bred out of us, so that we become the perfect zombie consumers which we are destined to become. Like termites, we will find life outside the Hive Mind untenable. We will be cocooned in our Net enabled universe, until we cannot support our own existence without it. Books? Books? What are these cellulose artifacts, but a larval stage in our tecnological development? Lament this trend all you wish, but the march toward this future is inexorable and inevitable. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
I logged on to see what the story was, about Al Franken's new miracle diet, and after reading the article, I feel cheated and mildly disgusted. Squats! Rhabdomyolysis! Butt leakage!
All I have to say is this. You can do what you want in your own house with supplements. But if you come for my gummy bear vitamins, playtime's over. There will be blood.

Jeebus. I leave for a few days vacation, and come back to this?
Someone just needs to delete the whole topic.
It's getting worse than AM radio.
