In '08, you have to win at all costs.

When did the WWE take over politics. Oh yeah.

As for true stupidity, what is more financially stupid than needlessly throwing away your earnings to state income taxes? There are none in Tennessee. That may not be a big deal to someone like you working hourly, but when you pull in a seven figure salary, it's a big deal.

Enjoy your next shift.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented]]> Jailbreaking/Unlocking the iphone was nothing more than a $600 job application to Apple.

They got what they wanted from it and we paid them for the right to give us a much improved product.

They don't really care, other than they don't want a bunch of people screwing up their phones and being SOL. They obviously don't want to lose customers, either. We have a nice status-quo that I don't really expect to change very much going forward.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on 3G iPhone Getting Wireless iTunes Sync via Bonjour?]]> The icon kinda makes the iphone look darker. Maybe it's the resolution, or maybe it's because the next version is reportedly glossy black. You decide.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on iPhone 3G Launch Date Confirmed]]> @zakharm:

It absolutely will have to go through the FCC. But Apple can apply to have all the information withheld from the public until after the product has been announced. The FCC does provide confidentiality if requested.

As a general rule, you will see the pictures from the FCC after the announcement. Though some people are less careful than Apple and forget to ask for confidentiality.

What, are you on morphine or something?

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on 1969 Volkswagen Beetle, Before And After Mishap]]> I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure this really was the first public Veyron ever wrecked.

1) 2-tone paint - CHECK
2) Exposed engine - CHECK
3) VW/Bugatti/Audi/Porsche/ETC Built - CHECK

The reason this guy hasn't made repairs is that he can't afford them at today's prices. Inflation is some crazy shit.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on Bruce Pearl Is Still No. 1 In Our Search Engines]]> It may be the least telegenic gym (fan seating comes first in old gyms, not TV camera angles), but if you've ever been there as an objective CBB fan(as in, non-opposing-team-fan, taking in a great college basketball game mindset), there is no greater shrine to college basketball than Vandy's Memorial Gym.

It's the safest place for players to play (no scorers desk/fans seated on the court to worry about), it's loud, and it's old. And the Commodores slay #1's like Chris Berman slays dumb, hot, leather-clad cougars.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on You're Too Poor To Afford A Bentley Brooklands]]> @no_slushbox:

This is true. A Continental GT has enough room for 15 dead prostitutes in the boot. But Bentley has informed those of us whom they are suiting for the car that the Brooklands will have a Hybrid Drivetrain model which will have an apparatus in the same vein as Mr. Fusion from Back to the Future that powers the car by a doo-hickey that converts the dead hookers into energy. Obviously this system has pluses and minuses:

Pros -

Eliminates evidence of dead hookers
Comes in handy in a pinch when low on fuel
Improved Gas Mileage -- Now to 18/23mpg!
Gives the appearance of owner concern with all this Global Warming hogwash
HP increase to >1000, Torque to > 1200lb-ft

Cons -
Loss of some bootspace -- can now only ferry 7.5 dead prostitutes (of full size, 11 "midgets")
Cost of the hybrid upgrade could finance 3-4 years of disposable hookers

Bentley is committed to listening to their customers.

Should read:

How is this question possible when there's only been one generation of Veyrons?

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on Eulogy For An Isuzu Impulse]]> I shit you not I just passed one on I-65 here in Nashville. As a relatively young petrolhead, I don't really remember ever seeing one before. Then on the day this runs, Impulse sighting.

How about running a story on McLaren F1's, 959's, or Gullwings? Please?

You probably also have a Bill Gates/Flowbee haircut fetish.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on When Ya Gotta Go ...]]> I realize this is a little late at this point, but why Fly Williams used to play for Austin Peay University (before heading to the NBA), the students had the cheer:

"Fly's open! Let's go Peay!"

Too bad APU and KSU don't play this season.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on Mystery Ferrari Mule Spotted In Maranello]]> Looks like a modern Dino to me on the front end. I'd also put money down that the back end is a fake roof line like the X6 spy photos we've seen.

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on What's the Best Real World Driver's Car?]]> I drive a 2002 E39 M5. Everything said about it in the Fantasy Garage is true.

I loved my 1995 E36 M3, but the beast is from a different planet. Planet Bruce.

It's known as the frickin' beast!! What else do you need to know?

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on Exclusive First Pictures of KITT From The New Knight Rider TV Series: Yes, It's a Shelby GT500KR]]> Odds the new one isn't the "KI Two Thousand" but the "KI THREE Thousand"? The new one certainly has "big tires to fill" so why not change the name a bit to show that it's new, while still maintaining the "KITT" acronym?

]]> <![CDATA[JiAvW commented on 2009 Corvette ZR1 Caught On Video At Laguna Seca Vettegasm!]]> I think the E39 M5 wheels look much better in their stock "smoked" look.
