    I feel the need to point out that this is an Eighty Eight Royale, not a Delta 88, mostly because I have no life. #iphone

    The sad thing is, if they had used a Chrysler product in the ad, nobody would have noticed any difference in the interior.... #adwatch

    man, that thing is nice! homeboy looks like he could use the flappy paddle gearbox though, it look like he just couldn't shift it fast enough and when he took his hand off the wheel to shift it looked like he was going to ditch it.

    i absolutely loved the whine of the turbo on the track car... that should be a question of the day, what sound better a turbo or a supercharger? #porsche911gt3rs

    @B1663R: Its not a turbo, its the transmission. And that sequential six is just as fast as paddles.

    @B1663R: GT3s have never had turbos. GT2s and Turbos (obviously) are turbocharged, but GT3s and GT3 RSs have always just been naturally aspirated, which makes them that much more impressive.

    The noise sounded like straight cut gears to me. Bonus video of a crazy-ass E36 racecar to show you what I'm talking about:

    He who wears the tight pants is casting the bromance stone? Hmm.

    Anyway, nice car, could live without the ricer paraphernalia slathered all over the side. If it were mine, I'd be attacking it with a heat gun, Goo Gone and some black paint for those poor wheels/mirrors. #porsche911gt3rs

    Learn to use the term 'rice' correctly. It does not apply to a track oriented beast such as a GT3 RS in any way, shape or form. #porsche911gt3rs

    @ChronicTeutonic: Oh Jeebus, there are some liderhosen in a bunch in here. First, I know what the heritage is. It was gaudy back then and gaudy now. Problem is, they saw the gaudy and raised it to a whole new level. If I wanted to know what it was, I would look at a tastefully understated badge on the trunk. Money could be a lot better spent not making it look like a day-glo clown car. #porsche911gt3rs

    Hey, if a customer was willing to shell out the dough for it (in my theoretical dreams), Porsche would do it, right?

    I have a kid who, while very young, developed a very regular #2 habit: Wednesday evenings. Nursed babies don't mess quite so much as bottlefed, though there are the usual number of wet diapers to deal with. But the narstier ones, not so much. Thus, the once-a-week schedule. And it was fantastic. Nothing can top having a kid who you know will not utterly ruin your trip to the park with a Superfund site in his britches.

    Until he skipped a Wednesday. Then he'd gone over ten days. Then we're closing in on two weeks He's starting to get uncharacteristically cranky and fussy. We knuckle under and call Ask-A-Nurse. She says give the kid some castor oil and everything should be fine, some babies just get a little anal retentive - literally. She's never actually seen a once-a-week kid but doesn't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility, and other long-interval kids sometimes get this retention thing going, so do the castor oil and see what happens.

    We did the castor oil.

    About an hour later there was this...sound. And the kid's face suddenly got really horrified and relieved and inside the diaper was Mt. Vepoopius, a mountain of poo like you've never seen unless you own a Saint Bernard. We changed him on a big sheet of newspaper opened up, and some still got away. We blamed that spot on the cat, but we knew. So did the cat.

    What's this got to do with cars? Not a damn thing. #adwatch

    A friend of mine had the LeBaron that he drove in high school start on fire for no good reason in a parking lot. Then, he told the story to a roomful of people in an Andy Rooney voice, and thus his minor tragedy (it was just a crappy car, after all, no one got hurt, nothing of value was lost) became pure comedy gold.

    So, it warms my heart when a crappy Chrysler product starts on fire for no good reason. #carfire
