I guess with today's technology it makes it hard for politicians to do what they've always done when it comes to padding their war chest. We've gotten to see more of a "what's in it for me" rather than compromising for the greater good. It's kind of nice to see that a lot more people see politicians of both parties being self-serving. And I do think it can get worse... if Washington's Republicans follow California's example of setting rigid limits on what they will vote for things will continue to decline. California is really in trouble. I think our primary election process is part of the problem as we get candidates trying to please their base in the primaries and we end up with a choice of far left or far right. Then, after winning, they go to Sacramento and naturally butt heads. And for fear of not getting re-elected, no one compromises. We get to vote on open-primaries this year and I hope people realize this is in all of our bests interest. Also, voting to take control of mapping out political districts away from State Congress will hopefully pass too. My 2 cents

I like the front, the side pod vents and the headlights are ok (the only aero headlights I've seen look good are on a Prowler in my opinion). I don't think anyone likes the rear fenders. But there are some high HP guys looking for downforce (Kevin and his Mojita for example) and a rear wing like that might work nicely if it incorporated the roll bar too... better than the dirt midget look.

A lot of pissed off people during this "Great Recession". Doesn't help when everyone but those we bailed out on Wall St are suffering (and them throwing these bonuses in our face). If the Republicans had the seats in Congress that Democrats do, and the presidency, they would of held ranks and got things done quickly. Don't confuse that with me agreeing with what they would of done, it's just part of the frustration people are having with the democrats getting things done. With 24/7 news and cable shows, things are sensationalized to get ratings... causing more apprehension and fear. So basically people who are hurting, scared (and watching Fox) will look at who's in charge and blame them;rightly or wrongly. It is ironic that Senator Kennedy, who was the champion of Universal Health Care, dies and is replaced by a Republican who could be the one responsible for killing Health Care...

I was sooooooo cool, man... red velvet bow tie;)

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time I stand there and nothing comes out." "Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes-out!" "Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age of all." "Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old. "No, I pee every morning at 06:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all." "So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?" "No, I have one every morning at 06:30." Exasperated, the 60-year-old said, "You pee every morning at 06:00 and have a bowel movement every morning at 06:30. So what's so bad about being 80?" "I don't wake up until 07:00.

I saw this at the LA Car Show.... if you can afford a Tesla but want to take another couple out with you... http://karma.fiskerautomotive.com/

technology of batteries keeps improving... it won't be long before you can go on a couple hundred mile drive and have a quicker car than we currently enjoy. well I'm sure you can have it now.... just takes $$$

I figured it must be pretty good as the time flew by.... did feel like a bit of a perv checking on the skimpy top of the avatar;)

It always amazes me how drastic the change in temps can be just an hour away (over the grapevine).... maybe I should bundle up for a bit.

Guess I can't complain about our dreary weather... foggy, 40s-50s. But that cold dampness goes to the bone with me;( Managed to take it out for a spin to the gas station last week. Good thing is that January is really about our only "bad" month (unless you count July & August when it's in the 100s but that's what early mornings are for).

A little nostalgia (1985)... and I heard they recently shut one down due to crowds YouTube - Walter Röhrl onboard montage ~1985

Nice Pics! Just don't catch the grass on fire;)

Fantastic! Your homefree. Hopefully we'll meet up this year.

Welcome, It's always a fun time trying to decide what to buy (or build). There's a good contingent of 7 owners in your neck of the woods and they're sure to chime in soon. Good luck!

V-Rob, Not to give you a more sleepness night but.... being paid puts you into the DMV system, you don't have to wait while the clerk enters all your info into the computer, reviews and staples all your paperwork, takes your check (tax & fees) etc.... all this before the clerk passes your info to the those making the call to Sacramento on your behalf. It just improves your odds as all the SB100s will be gone in a couple hours and you'll be biting your lip as the minutes it takes to load you in the system preciously slip by.... Being one of the first in line should help a lot though as some DMVs got SB100s for everyone that was there early last year. Good luck mate.

drive more... and farther buy helmet for trackdays no more fires shade top (windshield to rollbar)

These type of things always amaze me.... did you ever see the one where the guy made a small scale Ferrari with a running motor? Crazy!

Happy Holidays to all my 7 brothers

I agree with you Slomove.... seems we've lost the art of compromise. It appears many are afraid it looks like they don't have conviction, morals, are weak, etc... (or it will be used by their party's base against them in the primaries). Plus, we have this "team" mentality that says your either with us or against us; and it has to be on all issues. It seems there's not that many moderates anymore... and they now get pummelled from both sides. I've never seen it so bad, kind of started in California with those in the minority holding hostage the State budget. Now those in DC are playing the same game. Heaven forbid they screw up as bad as our State politicians. Wish I had a solution, but don't see one:(

very nice! nothing wrong with silver and black

OMG, Pacer & Gremlin nice looking? I didn't buy the 7 for it's looks (though it grows on you) and I know there's something for everyone.. but that's like saying this is a cute dog

I don't know about that
