Volkswagen to launch Golf cabrio in 2010 {Autoblog}
Aug 11th 2008 5:03PM My first car was a 1980 Rabbit convertible, so this announcement strikes a particular chord in my heart :)
Google.org invests $2.75M in Aptera Motors {Engadget}
Jul 24th 2008 11:26AM California has the same law, so I'm sure they're working on that.
Huzzah! TVR lives... again. {Autoblog}
Jul 10th 2008 5:46PM "Automotive nosferatu"? If you mean it sucks a lot of blood (capital) and is likely never to see the light of day, then I think the analogy is apt! :)
A repurposed potato masher becomes a favorite tool {Slashfood}
Jun 12th 2008 6:12PM I love and use Michael Chiarello's suggestion to use a bundt pan to catch corn kernels when cutting them off the cob. Brilliant!
Lane splitting - should it be legal? {Autoblog}
Mar 21st 2008 12:00PM If lived in CA, opened your door and killed a motorcyclist because of it, you would find yourself on the end of a first degree (yes, premeditated) manslaughter charge. It's happened and the driver was convicted. Brilliant plan.
Feasting on Asphalt, Cookbook of the Day {Slashfood}
Mar 4th 2008 11:53AM Anxiously awaiting the American release for Jamie Oliver's "jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life," which accompanies his current show. The show is dreamy, but the few recipes available online represents a major food-tease. True, I could ebay this book as it was released across the pond already, but I'm guessing when it finally gets released in the US it'll have converted measurements. :)
Toyota seriously considering A-BAT: The Prius of pickups? {Autoblog}
Feb 11th 2008 3:33PM If they cleaned up the design a bit, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Contrary to some opinions here, there absolutely IS a market for folks who don't either want to haul truckloads of manure, haul bad-ass boats, or work on construction sites, but like trucks....and fuel economy. I love the utility of the Ridgeline, but to me it's too big. With even the Tacoma getting bigger I've been hoping someone would put out a truly small truck. Please build Toyota, you'll pull me back into the fold!
Detroit 2008: MINI to offer diesel option in the US? {Autoblog}
Jan 9th 2008 2:58PM I'd love to believe it -- and there's certainly the possibility. But going solely off that little bit of a teaser I'd likely think they'd implement the auto-shut-off-at-stoplights bit that is MUCH cheaper to implement (and get through the EPA).
SEMA Concept 'Cuda to be sold at Barrett-Jackson {Autoblog}
Nov 30th 2007 12:23PM I wonder if it's not the factory themselves who commissioned it and are turning around and auctioning it to see just what kind of demand is there for a custom 'cuda -- no doubt there will never be a factory all-carbon-fiber-bodied beastie like this, but nonetheless this feels like an exercise in testing the waters.
Giveaway: have an iPhone on us! {Engadget}
Jul 1st 2007 12:32PM I would dig an iphone so that I could use it to cure cancer. And save kittens. From cancer.
Okay, who am I kidding? Yes, I want an iphone so I can say, "look at my iphone! I am ubergeek! Hear me roar!"
But if, you know, it will help the kittens with cancer, I'm willing to use it in that fashion to. I mean, AFTER I hold it aloft and declare my uber geekness, of course.
