I weep for the future

This news just makes me sad, I can't imagine how people in the U.K. feel about this situation.

I'm a proud Jaguar owner. Sometimes saying that is a bit like being in AA but my Ford-era Jag has never done me wrong and I love it. There's no doubt that Ford's money made a big impact in the quality and content produced by both Jag and Land Rover. I wish Ford would have stuck it out.

Jaguar and Land Rover bled the world's second largest Automaker dry, what chance does Tata have? I hope I'm wrong but I just don't think the outlook is very bright.

Busy days...

Been too busy to blog.

So the Corvette is the only true sportscar made in this country which is pretty sad. So there's a brand new big bad super 'Vette hitting the streets and I must say the numbers are really awe-inspiring. Kudos to Chevy for dragging the ZR-1 moniker back from the grave as well. But why did they have to make it look like something out a fucking cartoon. I mean a plexiglass window in the hood? What is this Corvette Summer 2? Are they going to hire Mark Hamill as a spokeman?

The bad old days.

Watch This.

Ah the joys of the old school chat room, before AOL and IRC. Anyone else remember The Coffee House or Tenelia's Web?

Sports Utility Coupe?

Whatever moniker gets applied to this new genre of vehicle, you have to admit the new BMW X6 pretty good looking. Personally, the only SUVs I've actually ever considered buying is the Infiniti FX35/45 and the BMW X5. I just don't like the whole box on wheels look of most SUVs, including the X5. So now BMW has created an SUV for me. Thanks guys! Can you give me a $30,000 discount so I can afford one?

Vive Le France!

A lot of people hate on the French, and sometimes they deserve it. But you have to admit that no one knows how to throw off oppression quite like the French.

An awakening

The most ingenious people I knew in high school and college were those involved in the production and sale of illegal substances. Love of drugs and money is the mother of innovation. That being said it comes as no surprise to me that Curtis James Jackson III, aka 50 Cent, is smarter than the RIAA. Having figured out that the majority of his young fans, mostly middle class white kids, are tech savvy gives him a gold star in my book.

He's figured out that artists make SHIT from the sales of their albums. And that every time someone downloads one of his songs that makes them more of a fan and thus more likely to spend money on what really matters, merchandise. The real money is in live performances, branded merchandise and selling your face to corporations.

The only interesting about Detroit

The Detroit Auto Show is nearing so the one reason to go to Detroit is coming soon. Pack your shit.

Busy Days

So I've actually had some busy days at work that cut in to my valuable blogging time. Normal service will resume after the holidays.
