York?! OMG. That's my turf, and I need a parts NA!!! Wish I had her e-mail address.

I know that only a small subset of folks are developers, but Flickr's wicked-awesome API allows me to make Flickr into whatever I want it to be. Not happy with the UI? Make your own! That alone is worth the price of admission.

With a little more speed, they would've made it.

I wish I would care more, I really do. Sure, I'll find entertainment value, but... meh.

I just hope the traditional, open-top Jeep has a future after Chrysler. The Wrangler remains relatively true to its heritage aside from electronics and 2007-era interior woes.

My parents had an orange, or a sort of copper-colored 320i when I was a little boy. Man, this really takes me back. I wonder where that car is today.

Again, it would be a crime to let these pictures go unshared. Though it'd be easier to share them if the comment system was less temperamental.

You guys were right with Earthroamer, but you picked the wrong model. You want the XV-JP. The AEV front bumper is designed to withstand zombie strikes.

Still no Turbo Boost, but we did get some nice blinker action.

@TampaRon: No, don't say that. We want ugly - we just want the "here-we-found-sheetmetal-in-the-street-lets-weld-it-together" AM General H1 ugly. Not the "off-road Aztek" thing GM has going on with the Hummer brand. Poor Hummer. You could've been cool.

I like to take pictures. So... probably not.

cshontz commented on What Was Your Worst Drive?

Thu, 13 Dec 2007 14:00:59 EST

After spending a Sunday wheelin' in Alabama, leaving to go home to Pennsylvania at 6:00 PM because I had to work the next morning. Driving through the night in a TJ on Swampers, pounding the Dew, getting the runs, and arriving at work at 8:40 AM - 10 minutes late, and completely and utterly useless.

@cshontz: Bland, formulaic, conforming. Where's the eccentricity? ...the dare to be different? Give me my bug eyes and grille vaginas anyday.

Before poking and prodding one, I initially felt fondly of the Patriot. Then I took it for a test drive and was utterly bored. The CVT didn't win me over either.

I'd fancy a JK Rubicon Unlimited or an R56 MINI.

Hey, a pre-production whip was scooped on my turf, and I missed it! Inconceivable!

An inclinometer is not a replacement for a good, highly-tuned sphincter.

Just this past week while on vacation I passed someone on the shoulder. They were turning across traffic, and there was plenty of room to slip by. I then received a boisterous honk, and saw the extension of an arm in my rear view mirror. It was too far to see phalanges, but I imagine one of 'em was erect.

I reflected upon this event - I live in Amish country where this type of passing maneuver is commonplace, and generally accepted. I wished I could go back and tell the guy that I had no intention of being a tool ... and then I thought perhaps I was going to fast. He was right - my shoulder pass was too agressive ... a feat of douchebaggery.

If I hadn't been reprimanded by horn and finger, I wouldn't have given it another thought. But perhaps the horn-lashing served its purpose. It shouldn't be viewed as a personal slight, but a gesture that causes us to evaluate our actions, and reconsider how we drive in the future.

I've been that douchebag. First, I take responsibility and attempt to rescue them from the wreckage. Then I put my arm around the terrified individual and apologize up and down for nearly killing them. Good ol' fashion verbal communication.
