    I am still in a bit of a comatose state from yesterday. Almost fell asleep in the insane shopping lines today. I usually avoid them like the flu but there was one big ticket item I just couldn't resist. Yawn.

    Need to attack that mountain of yummy leftovers and all the booze lying around from yesterday. Hey somebodys gotta do it. They won't magically dissappear you know..

    Wow, I'm surprised more people haven't done this before. At the last place I lived, we did this a few years ago, with a much less clean engine hoist and a much bigger driveway.

    Also, has anyone ever fried a turkey in leftover bacon fat? I'd think that'd be unbelievably awesome.

    @BaconSandwich and the generic grey civic of doom: Sounds like a delicious idea, but I don't think my arteries could take the amount of bacon needed to generate enough fat for frying the turkey. It's no fun if you're not around to enjoy it. Maybe just stuff all that bacon inside the turkey? Hmmm....

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    @Mobius: Peanut oil has a very high smoke point, caramelizes the bird's skin very nicely, and has a great flavor. Good call. You can filter the oil after the turkey is done and use it to cook up french fries...

    Hmmm...I wonder if burning nut oil in a diesel car would cause an allergic reaction to someone who was allergic? That'd be a fun experiment. People with nut allergies are pretty freaky, the sensitivity in some of them is through the roof.

    I suppose, if you paid somebody else to maintain and insure your turkey, and all you had to do was gas it up occasionally:-

    You could call it a turn-key turkey?

    I'll just go.

    @[jalopnik.com] @skaycog: And here I was going to go with "driver mod required".....

    A happy Thanksgiving to all!Given that this is Thanksgiving, we should count our blessings. I, for one, am thankful for the little things: the sound of a big V8 at WOT. The occational Ford GT roaming the streets. The way the sun glints off Ferrari red or that Porsche yellow on a summer afternoon. The sound of tires trying to hold on to the tarmac at 1 G. The smell of brakes after the best run of the day.

    But, today, I'm most thankful for turkey. Why? Because I haven't had any yet, and it has put everyone else asleep, leaving the roads quite empty on a beautiful, sunny day.

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go remind myself why I'm thankful for M3s...

    "Yes, dear. Of course I'm going to store the engine hoist in the kitchen. Where else? It's incredibly handy, and very important for safely frying all kinds of things. See, it fits in nicely, right next to the parts washer. Now, which drawer is the baling wire in?"

    Thanks Mike, I'm sure Fire Marshall Bill approves!

    What seemed an unattainable production car power figure — 500 HP — only a decade ago is now available in sedans to SUVs to luxury convertibles.

    Meanwhile 40mpg overall fuel economy remains unavailable in all those classes.

    Horsepower wars are nice for a few thousand enthusiasts, but it doesn't seem a productive or fiscally prudent use of engineering talent. And it's an enabler for crappy overweight platform engineering - "Don't like the performance of our 4,200 lb lardbucket with a mere 275 bhp engine? Then buy our V spec M AMG S-line model!" #jalopnikreviews
