So my boss finally took delivery of his Tesla Roadster. I don’t have a clue how it drives. But that car is fugly.
PS - If you’re my boss and you’re reading this, I’m sorry.

Another thing that always bothers me is people who refer to their SUVs as trucks. In some instances, there is some gray area and I try not to get mad at that. But, based on some of the webstats for this blog, someone come here through the Google query, “is there anything wrong with using stp gas treatment in a saturn vue 6 cylinder truck”. While I’m guessing there isn’t anything wrong with using STP in a Saturn Vue (or any other typical car), there is something wrong when you can confuse a Saturn crossover SUV as a truck. That’s just being delusional.
Update: Ok, let me back off that. If you, like me, consider crossover SUVs to be the station wagons that they really are, and you admit that the most famous station wagon ever was the Family Truckster (oh my god… it has its own Wikipedia page), then, ok, maybe you can get away calling a Vue a truck. If it has eight headlights and wood paneling. Maybe.

The crime:
The outcome:
The owner of the one of the cars that was hit is a staff member at Extreme. On Wednesday, he saw a car in the fitness club’s parking lot that matched the description of the one seen in the surveillance video and called police.
Investigators arrived at the scene and interviewed a suspect who is a member of the gym.
Tripta Kaushal, a Richmond Hill resident, has been charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
Or as Fark puts it, “It takes a moron to park on top of a car, then drive away. It takes a special kind of moron to go back and park there the next day”

Chevy is now running commercials with the slogan “may the best car win.” I like that idea. But where the hell was it when GM got its ass kicked all the way to bankruptcy when it had to beg the government for protection because of all its, uh, unwinningness?
At least we can still count on them to be way behind the curve.
I just saw a commercial that said something like “if you walk 30 minutes a day, you’ll live a year longer!” Or, if you do the math, if you walk 30 minutes a day, every day, for about 50 years, you’ll extend your life by the same amount you spent doing all the walking.
I think I’d rather have a drink instead.
