OK — not a real review, as I refuse to drive this thing — but who the hell spends the money on this Mini-Van looking AMG?
I understand everything Mercedes poured into this ugly monster to make it fast; “the performance SUV” claims Mercedes — but oh my god you look like a tool driving [...]

Well — its been a few weeks and I’ve been pretty good about regularly drinking this vile stuff. So far there have been some interesting results:
1) My RSI/Carpal Tunnel syndrome is far less severe, to the point of not bothering me at all. I’ve worked in technology most of my life and the keyboard/mouse combo [...]

Amazing. I have always loved the Jag XK-E and this story is just too good to miss. Seems Ray Parrot bought a truckload of left over parts that had been stored for 30+ years and built him the last E-Type.
Parrott set to work assembling the car in his Essex home, using his detailed knowledge [...]

It was only 70 years ago, almost to the day, that the Germans introduced us to Kristallnacht — so I don’t find this all that unbelievable. I do think its well written and funny, but it is a warning and we should listen to this Op-Ed piece from the Jewish Journal. As a Californian, Prop [...]

I have three. The current DotCommer bulldog craze just never caught on with me. Having owned a number of other breeds, I really can’t imagine living with any other.
