Straight from the carton?
I only drink milk from the carton if it's 1L, because that's a serving for me; and I'll only do it at work, because we throw professionalism out the window.

What does a 'metal dude' look like?... These guys? http://www3.telus.net/sjdj/img007.jpg Right off my TFFL album too!

Unfortunately, I accidentally wandered into a nest of Emo's earlier yesterday... in my basement. Some dudes my brother knows are all into that stuff... and the music they had on sucked. However, my speakers are bigger than theirs, and I figured it was time to spin 'Out of the Cellar' They hate me now.

Avenger R/T
Are those prices for the midline models? We're discussing the R/T... and what I understand, the R/T is comparably cheaper than competitors. And fair enough DF... I haven't driven the damn thing. But by reading the reviews, it seems like I'd be better off spending a half hour watching porn, instead of test driving the Avenger. At least the porn won't make me feel all dirty inside. The car does have some attitude, and I credit Dodge with trying, and I don't mind the exterior at all. It's just the car the company was showing off had some bad panel gappage. Nothing that would be cause for alarm... but it refelects poorly on the build quality, and shows people that the Dodge is just cheaper car. I love Chrysler's LX models, and I'd pick up a Charger or Magnum in a hearbeat, it's not as if I'm a biased asshole. I used to love Dodge believe it or not. When I was little, ever since I saw Twister, I wanted a Ram. The Van Halen tracks on the movie helped too . I was amazed by the Chrysler 300, and I have two posters of the current Charger. So really, when Dodge builds GOOD vehicles, I'm a fan. They don't have to even be at the top of any comparison test for me to love them. But the Avenger is garbage, and deserves to be much better.

Avenger R/T
The interior, and the ill fitting panel gaps on the driver-side of the show car. But the interior is what got me the most. I don't have the highest expectations when it comes to interiors. I drive a seventeen year old truck, so once again, I'm generally a man of simple tastes when it comes to vehicle interiors... As long as it is easy to use, doesn't look cheesy, and suits the price point, I'm a happy camper. So when I sit in a new vehicle, and laugh out loud, you know you have a problem. The R/T's interior just felt 'cheap' . The Calibre's interior is just as bad, but it's a cheaper vehicle, so it's forgivable. I was given a chance to test it, but why bother? If they did a $h!ty job with the interior/exterior, what will the powertrain be like?

Aren't they all potheads at Dell?

Drums are definately flatter sounding today. But the 80's were about bombast, and awe, and that got lost after the Seattle Grunge movement.

'07 Tundra Camshafts Snapping
Just by reading the CNN report, I can already tell that Toyota is getting a little more critically scrutinized. Good.

Chrysler Imperial one step closer to production
That means you haven't seen any of the good threads yet.

Avenger R/T
I will constructively add that the Avenger, even in R/T form, is a pile of crap.

Avenger R/T
I sat in the back seat of an R/T and I instantly felt my net-worth plummet.

I like Hard Rock/Driving Rock/Melodic Rock... but I hate the Heavy Metal of the present day. I can't understand what all these alt-rock, death-metal singers are even saying.

Microsoft Surface and new Sony flexible LCD
The flexible screen is useful... Can't say the same about the coffee table/computer thinger.

UAW pushes to organize Kentucky Toyota plant
I'd rather see Toyota push them back. It might give the Domestics some courage to fight back as well.

Chevrolet Crossover likely to be dubbed Traverse
Well, he does. But when GM actually earns it. In this case... unless the Chevy Lambda is significantly different than its platform-mates, GM doesn't deserve any real praise.

And I Thought Consumer Reports Just Rated Cars
I'm surprised. This is posted on Cheers & Gears, and it involves Consumer Reports and Condoms... and yet there are only eight replies...

Everyone should read this: Bush's new bill
After what we have seen from Katrina, I really, really doubt America could secure itself against it's own population in the event such a far reaching 'directive' were put into place.

This could have an effect on GM China, then again maybe not
I think the buildup is targeted not so much at Taiwan... instead... it's targeted towards India.

TOYOTA NO LONGER "FOREIGN"
I know, I know... we should've just stuck with making maple syrup, plaid shirts, and mercury laced beaver pelt hats.

Spied: 2009 Acura NSX
I'm a bit upset that Honda is looking at a V10. I really, really liked the six in the old NSX. But, I guess you have to keep up with the competition. Here's hoping it's got a great design.
