    I've promised myself that I'm going to stop bashing the NY Times.

    It's one of my New Year's resolutions.

    Of course we all know how well most people do with those...

    @DoctorNine:


    Yeah.


    I promised myself I would stop drooling at the sight of Eva Mendes but then I saw her on the cover of some magazine yesterday and couldn't help myself.

    It's got a cop motor, a 72-volt battery system, it's got 10-inch tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before internal combustion so it'll run good on regular electricity. What do you say, is it the new Jalopnikmobile or what?

    I'm just surprised in a time of "carpocalypse" a GEM could be afforded, I would have thought budget cuts to limit you to a segway and a leftover "Save the Enzo's" tee?


    I would have liked to have seen you using a Polaris RZR S as transportation, but I suppose it is a little less "green".

    When the Gray Lady praises your actions, you've probably done something horribly wrong.


    I like the idea, but next year the Mobile Command Center needs to be a '66 Buick Sport Wagon.

    Instead of Ray Wert III, from now on, can you please introduce yourself as Ray Wert, v. 3.0?


    You are a blogger, after all. Let's make it a bit more trendy.

    A 3.0 for me sounds more like a fine Italian suit than burberry.

    I'm not sure. I assume Burberry is compatible with v.3.0, but when he upgrades to Ray Wert v.4.0 he's going to have to switch to Baby Gap v.2.3.

    the New York...Times? Is that one of those primitive "news papers" that I read about in history class?


    Is it true that they used to print news stories on paper in black ink, and that you could only get updates once a day? How did our forefathers survive under those conditions?

    So, The neon is quite dazzling, but I've heard no talk of upgrading with dubs, or tweaking the voltage, or clocking the processor of your GEM-page. If nothing else, at least a two-inch battery vent.

    @jbownsabmw but still wants GM to survive: I have a cousin-once removed who goes by "Tre".


    He's Casper Carson Conrad Webb III

    His dad (Conrad) was CCCW Jr.

    His dad was CCCW, but I forget if he was Casper or "Cas" or what.
