10-year-old crashes van while driving drunk parents home {Autoblog}
Oct 9th 2008 4:21PM I'm curious who's the OM617 that provided the tip for this story.
That's one of the most glorious engines ever made.

GM drops HotShot windshield washer system after expensive recall {Autoblog}
Oct 8th 2008 2:27PM My previous 89 Mercedes 300CE sent engine coolant through a pipe in the washer fluid reservoir to warm the washer fluid. Nicely done, and no electronics to short out.
That pipe developed a leak at >15 years/200,000 miles, but it appeared that it was designed to only leak out. It took me a while to find where I was losing coolant, but at least I wasn't sucking washer fluid into my engine block and radiator.
Replacement part was nearly 200 bucks, so I just bypassed it and gave up on heated washer fluid. Not too much need for that in central Texas anyway, and by that point the car had more serious signs of aging.
By the Numbers - September 2008: Nobody Wins Edition {Autoblog}
Oct 1st 2008 5:38PM Remember that's not compounded reductions (1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2...), it's consistently 50%+ less each month than were sold the same month last year.
It just means this is a change Hummer can believe in. ;-)
Toyota develops new rear window airbag for small cars {Autoblog}
Sep 30th 2008 4:29PM If it "deploys from the roof lining above the rear window," I hope the body structure in that area is stout enough to ensure this airbag is deployed in the proper position, but I guess it all may happen quickly enough to work anyway.
9ff already working on Porsche Panamera? {Autoblog}
Sep 24th 2008 2:41PM The Panamera certainly does explain why Porsche never does any dramatic changes to the 911 shape over the years. They have no talent for new exterior design.
2009 Pontiac G3 Wave: Excitement has left the building {Autoblog}
Sep 18th 2008 11:10AM The original VW Rabbit GTI of the early 1980s had something like 90hp but was still exciting.
But maybe you're not old enough to remember that. ;-)
Educated Guesstimation: Lamborghini bringing four-door super sedan to Paris {Autoblog}

Now THAT's thinking about how Lambo should do a four door. ;-)
Paris Preview: Lamborghini teases new mystery car {Autoblog}
Sep 16th 2008 11:32AM I can only see two things that might live up to the New World proclamation:
1 - Hybrid (or even all electric)
2 - The long-awaited flying car
Mercedes CL and CLK names say "Auf wiedesehen..." {Autoblog}
Sep 12th 2008 2:10PM I still miss the days when Mercedes model numbers told you the actual displacement of the engine and the model letters had reasons for their existence.
560SEC FTW!
