Well, at least there is no doubt of what will happen when you roll this baby. The thickness of your skull--which has to be pretty thick to even think this is a good idea--is the only thing keeping you alive, and of course however thick it is, the salt flat is going to grind it down to nothing--
and doesn't this guy realize going bareheaded will get him a potentially lethal melanoma in about five years?--wait. I don't think he's a long-term-thinking kinda guy.
PS This is very well written, Sam. I like the cut of your gibberish!
@tackett: Who needs long term thinking? As Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munrow said in "World's Fastest Indian", "You live more in 5 minutes at 200 miles per hour than most people do in a lifetime".
Amen, Burt Munrow. Now, who do I make the check out to?
Boxed frame rails? Front brakes? That shit's for losers. And look at what's holding up the body-a stick, with some bailing wire wrapped around it!. Look long and hard, Lexus LFA fanboys with your fancy-ass roto-molded carbon fiber hood-holders. Read 'em and weep.

Wow, it's like all my bad stock purchases decided to hang out together. So how is Starbucks (SFTL) going to get involved?
Fur reals, this seems like a good thing. At the dealership, the car you want is seldom the car you find, and finding the car you actually want usually involves either a lot of work or special ordering; neither option leads to Discount City. But finding and bidding on cars direct from the factory with online anonymity? Welcome to my bookmarks, ebaygm, and meet autotrader, craigslist, and carsdirect. I'll be the guy in the sweatpants.
You know, one thing I sort of wonder about all of this...
GM experimented with the sales side of things once before, with Saturn. Was that model considered a success? A failure? Did they learn any lessons from that which led to this eBay thing? Or is this just some random new thing they are gonna take a whack at?
So other than getting media and blogs to generate free advertising and awareness of this, how is this any different than the dealers that are putting new cars up on eBay already? A couple new comparison widgets? Maybe I'm missing something, but this would seem to reinforce the structural problem that Detroit has where they are arming the dealers in mutual destruction (i.e., carrot&stick to get customers trained to buy only stocked vehicles, not built-to-order vehicles and thus exacerbate the bloated inventory competitive necessity at dealerships). I really hope this is just for closing out MY09s.
