May 22nd 2008 9:05AM Phone number collecting function seems like something that would be on that M3 from yesterday:

We say BMW, you say... Part 2 {Autoblog}
May 21st 2008 5:10PM Even though it is a joke, the M3 is in "Jersey Douche Teal."
I hate this color b/c it really is the color that every knob from the tri-state area has.
On the upside, they don't have to spend money on motor oil, as the greaseball operating the vehicle can keep it sufficiently lubricated.
Lutz declares that first Volt mule is running 40 miles on battery power {Autoblog}
May 15th 2008 10:21AM I can't believe this didn't occur to me before, but doesn't this Malibu look like Doc Brown worked on it? Like the real key to this car is that when it hits 88-mph it can go back in time to when gas was cheap and abundant?
This whole idea of Lutz giving routine updates can't be good for the development team. Imagine what kind of pressure and rush jobs get done to give Bob something he can tell the public? Its like Hitler asking Verner Von Braun how the V-2 rockets are coming along. It's just not an essential part of the process.
El Capuccino Volvo 'ute spotted outside museum {Autoblog}
May 13th 2008 10:56AM Seriously, like a 6 wheel XC90. Didnt think getting a shot of that would've been worth it i guess?
[SPOILER ALERT] Turkish Grand Prix was dog gone good {Autoblog}
May 12th 2008 12:33PM I felt bad about the dog thing til I found out what a huge problem strays are in Turkey. Now it just makes the media that was covering the event look sensationalist by focusing on it. Typical, though, for the circus that is F1.
Google Maps Street-View features upgraded visuals for directions {Autoblog}
May 2nd 2008 10:11AM First off, its mad accurate. Its how I find alternate routes getting in and out of Boston. I can take nearly 15-20 minutes off a 45 minute commute by finding roads that I would have never thought to turn down otherwide.
Secondly, however, this feature has been on google maps for a long time now- well over a year at least! Idk why they are just making it a story now.
New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss starts NASCAR team {Autoblog}
Apr 30th 2008 6:17PM Ok, THAT was uncalled for. Forget the dog comment by Alex, that was a low blow. lol.
In the Autoblog Garage: 2008 F-350 King Ranch [w/VIDEO] {Autoblog}
Apr 15th 2008 2:38PM Gotta say theres nothin like a great video of rally highlights to keep me from my work for another 13 minutes. Then again I was on Autoblog instead of doin my work in the first place, so there ya go...
Rendered Speculation: Maserati GranTurismo convertible {Autoblog}
Apr 8th 2008 9:47AM Yo, I feel like the rear haunches are way to subtle for the GranTurismo. The car oozes of flashiness and I think will have a higher back end. Maybe something on par with a Porsche 911 Carerra Cabriolet's rear end. ( I know that sounds a little strange considering the difference in engine placement of the two cars, however it was the first thing that popped into my mind when I looked at the renderings)
Scion xB spontaneously combusts during dealer service {Autoblog}
Apr 8th 2008 9:15AM Haha, these pictures should be posted everywhere to serve as a warning for tuners everywhere. Adding something mechanical like CID on is one thing, but people love to muck with the electrical components on these things. I would bet you it was an electrical fire.
I test drove one of these for my company (WheelsTV.net) and I felt a little silly driving around in it. Especially when the only people that came up to the car in the day that I had it was an elderly couple asking about it.
