Toyota world's most respected company!
I'm sure the Toyota family across the street from me will love this news. As far as the worker who died from overwork, Japan isn't exactly "we don't live to work, we work to live" country. It's said we don't get enough vacation in the U.S., but imagine an entire country full of workaholics, people who prioritize the company at the expense of their lives, literally and figuratively. That's Japan, where company, not family, not health, comes first, for everyone from CEO to janitor.

RR Silver Ghosts and AMC Spirits
FINALLY saw my first goddamn BMW X6 on the streets. Not what I expected. I don't know my Ferraris very well, but it was some FR car, might have been a Maranello. Also... -Impreza STi hatch -an early 50's four-door I can only assume was a Chevy -57ish Corvette with the top down -chop-top classic Ford truck

I keep seeing this red 944 Turbo for sale....can't get 68's words out of my head, however.

Sarah Palin.........?
In other words, she's like Ann Coulter, the right wing's fantasy hot chick to fondle the balls with memories of.

Oh yeah, saw a blue 5-door yesterday....knew I was forgetting something.

Sarah Palin.........?
In '92, that might have been sweet. Today, not so much....

Extremely early International Scout with no top--right hand drive at that! Another Ford Flex Buick Reatta

Sarah Palin.........?
It's like that when the machine makes sure only Republicans or Democrats have a fighting chance in major races.

Sarah Palin.........?
I've never seen anything as painful as those Couric clips. Anyone on any part of the political spectrum should feel embarrassed for her.

A year of panic and overreaction
Shoot, I know people that talk like it's the biblical last days....literally. For those of who've been thru similar panicked times, did this talk also come up?

Sarah Palin.........?
This thread is flirting with being the length of the Word Association post.

Camino, have you seen this?
I've seen a couple of Eldominos in this town when I was a kid. Didn't look factory (or even coachbuilt) back then, and doesn't now.

The Latest Fall Fashions
Some hot rod on the freeway, might have been a T-bucket. I usually assume Ford for those kind of cars. Also, an early 50s 2-door, might have been a Chevy. A 55-56 Buick Special last night. And a car show of air cooled VWs, mostly Bugs of course, a few Buses, and one Karmann Ghia. And lastly on the freeway, some douchebag popping a wheelie on his crotch rocket.

The Latest Fall Fashions
Yesterday morning's commute yielded a 67-68 Bel Air 4 dr. Another '55 this morning.

Lehman Brothers 1850-2008?
I figured BofA would have by now, since all those mergers (Fleet, NationsBank, etc.) Due to the NB merge, they kinda technically aren't California's bank anymore (NB was based out of Charlotte)
-
Sarah Palin.........?
Mitt Romney is disqualified based merely on the fact that his father George destroyed AMC and Studebaker by blocking the merge.

Today's No-Effin Way Award goes to...
How my who's gay or not meter works: Obvious/Absolutely not surprised: Clay Aiken. This is where Latifah, Missy Elliott, or most of the WNBA would go if they came out. Rumors satisfied: This is where dubious and disputed folks like Erick Sermon, Busta Rhymes, or Tom Cruise would go if he came out. Don't give a s--t: Lance Bass. This is where Lindsay Lohan would go if she came out. Surprised/Had no idea: Neil Patrick Harris. Sheryl Swoopes. Amanda Bearse. Jon Amaechi. Others who are never rumored and never gave even a hint until they just come out from way left field go here.
-
Sarah Palin.........?
That's been my point the entire time, and someone else sees it too. What's also funny is how the political threads brought out the beast in some of you to bring forth uninformed views on race and other taboo subjects also. And that should be allowed to go unchecked here?

MOTOR CITY KITTIES
Just like the Raiders and Rams, they need a new owner. It's a shame you can't force owners to sell franchises.
-
Sarah Palin.........?
We may as well argue the BCS vs. a college football playoff.... Or whether the chicken or the egg came first. November 4 can't get here any faster.

First brand new Pilot on the streets. I think it looks better than the old one.

Suicide door Continental FOR SALE!! If only I had the cash for a good date car.

The Latest Fall Fashions
50s Rambler. A compact from when America didn't care for compacts. What I believe to be a 53 or 54 Chevy. Yet another Falcon....seems enough were bought back then (just like Darts) for thousands to still be on the road.
-
The Latest Fall Fashions
Another Ford Falcon, about a 63 2-dr sedan. And in another smh moment, that same Travelall has been apparently SPRAY-painted royal blue. Overspray all over the grille. Tragic.
-
Lehman Brothers 1850-2008?
After all that expansion too. Brand new locations plus all the banks they bought out (Home Savings, American Savings, Great Western) As far as AIG, letting an insurance company fail isn't as good of an idea.
