    The 60's footage brings tears to my eyes.

    I spy a '58 Oldsmobile coupe.

    I'm waiting for the commercial that riffs on the old littering commercials. A hillbilly wandering through a deserted demo arena... walking down the street as an endless parade of new cars, stickers still in the windows roll past... Then a hauler loaded with old cars goes past, he turns to the camera, we see a single tear roll down his face. Then he takes a big drink out of his mason jar of hooch, and we get the 1-800 number for the National Demolition Recovery & Support System, or some such. #cashforclunkers

    @syko21: Technically, we're referencing Doonesbury which was then referenced by Joey Lucas on the West Wing.

    Also, at least two of us have every single West Wing episode on our computers.

    Also, also, at least one of us believed he was both Josh Lyman and Sam Seaborn when he worked in politics. #cashforclunkers

    Am I the only one who can't read "try not to die" without hearing Brock Samson in my head? It's as insidious as reading "Good news, everyone!"

    It won't be long before "The Running Man" becomes reality- except I have a feeling the contestants will be volunteers.

    @Novaload Misses Murilee: Yes he did. It is common for people to fly off the road in the WRC season. Usually they are fine, unless they hit a tree.

    "It was all my fault. I had the corner marked with a double caution, but the night before, I changed it. I have realised you should never change your notes after the recce.

    I realised we were going to crash, so I tried to use the Armco to slow the car. But it rolled over it and then it rolled and rolled. I can remember the crashing and the roll cage coming in. I thought: 'We cannot survive this, it's just not stopping.'

    When it did stop, I looked to my co-driver Miikka (Anttila) and his eyes were red and full of blood because we had been upside down so many times. After I checked we were okay, I said: 'Maybe this was our last rally.'

    I thought I was going to die. It was my biggest accident ever. I have to thank the team and the FIA for saving my life and building such a strong car.

    Now I need to drive again. I need to move on.

    I bet there would be a lot less complaints if this was how the federal car buyback program was to work: Hand over your car, get a big check, watch from the bunker as it's reduced to corn flake sized chips.
