I was hunting for something in particular on MSNBC, and ran across this opinion column, thought it was interesting to see a "convert":

"It wasn’t slow off the mark, it zipped up hills and was very roomy inside and very plush"

Must've been Brian Jackson's. A 4.6 with 4.75 gears and all that wood. Yeah, that's the one.

Charles, Tom, & Musk,

You guys ever been to Seattle? Anywhere within 60 miles of the city is a drivers hell. It takes so long to get further than 60 miles from the city that it is just not worth it for a good "driving experience". A BMW M3 would be a waste of car and a Land Rover would seem more than adequate since it will rarely get above 30MPH anyways :)

"Now, I must admit: I’m no mechanic — if some little red light comes on, I’m inclined to call someone at the shop. After many visits in under 12 months I decided that was enough — the Beamer had to go."

Funny...I wasn't much of a mechanic, either... until I bought a Land Rover. Now if the "little red light" comes on, I turn to Discoweb for help. If it can't be done here, it doesn't need to be done!
If that is the main reason he traded in, there will be more than likely be another column knocking Rovers when THIS warranty runs out!

I grew up in Washington and that dude is the typical latte drinking yuppy. How am I different, well I like to add bailey's! Most Men would hit the scotch and wrenches to figure out the red light. Todd, vouch for me now, you guys are better than that....

Good Find Leslie!

Well Leslie, so much for that stupid WWJD argument I was hearing in CNN the other day, eh?
