As always, you can follow us on Twitter here: @Jalopnik

Frequent visitors will already know that tipping a skycap gives you access to the VIP Yellow #1 taxi line, bypassing the plebes. But, on weekends and during some of the bigger events, even that line can back up to half-an-hour or more.

Instead of waiting, tweet @VegasCabbie as soon as you land. By the time you pick up your suitcase full of Hawaiian shirts he'll have responded and will have someone waiting for you at Yellow #1. Wow, Twitter actually managed to reduce our hatred of Vegas from "abject" to "intense." [via Vegas Chatter]

I'm counting down the last couple of hours before I head to Detroit Metro Airport for my flight to Chicago where my Squeeze Green (not pink) Fiesta waits. All of you made this happen by watching my hypnotic swaying and I thank you. Expect daily hoonage, awkward road trip moments and everything in between in stunning high definition from now 'til November.

How can you keep track of all this insanity? I'm glad you asked: You can follow me on Twitter, add me as a friend on Facebook and track me on the official Fiesta Movement page.

Now, off to the store to pick up a Buddy Christ statuette and a two pound bag of beef jerky; I've got a plane to catch.

A writer at GearLive owns a couple of OnStar-equipped vehicles and received a survey touting the following Twitter service:

"While in your vehicle, you can use OnStar to submit and retrieve tweets (messages) via your Twitter account. Using OnStar's Voice-Activated Hands-Free Calling system, and having your voice converted into text, you can provide updates which would appear in the "What are you doing?" section of your Twitter homepage. It is also possible to listen to a tweet that was sent to you by someone else after it has been converted into voice. You can send and receive tweets without having to type or read anything."

The service doesn't seem complicated to set up and, using a voice-to-text system like the one found in SYNC, this should already be possible.

We could image all sorts of useful possibilities for this service, but it's more likely to be used like normal Twitter — letting people know completely tedious and useless details about your lives. We'll continue to deem the idea mostly useless until THE_REAL_SHAQ gets it in his Hummer and we can read his road tweets:

@Cbarkely: Y u cut me off? Looking for blow-js?
