The sun rose way too early here in The Garage today. Well, the sun really didn’t rise early, as it was rainy and crappy when I started into the Cow this morning. A couple of doses of hockey and a headache induced nap later and here I am finishing things off, now that the Car of Tomorrow has run it’s first race. We had some great submissions this week, so sit back with a cold one and enjoy this week’s Carnival of Wheels.
Would having diarrhea get you off a speeding ticket? I don’t know about that one, but the cop is sure to have a giggle. Over at WiseBread they are having a little bit of a contest to find the best lines to get out of a speeding ticket. They are even giving away a car for the best entry! I still think that nothing beats great cleavage and a tear or two.
Are you upside down? Chances are if you’ve bought a traditional domestic you are, financially that is. Chuck has a few tips on how to avoid owing more than your car is really worth. Working in a GM store, Chuck knows a thing or two about buyers with negative equity.
Hello Kitty Hell. Now that’s a cool blog title! The writer at HKH might overload if his wife gets one of these.
When Honda introduced the successful S2000, many folks thought it was Honda’s first convertible. History wise car buffs though, knew the truth. Honda had built a number of sports cars in the Sixties. Jeff at DrivingEnthusiast has some great photos and the story on the heritage of the S2000.
For a car guy, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence ocean. Sometimes it seems like every other continent gets cooler cars than we do here in Canada. Oz is no different. Craig from AutoFix tells the tale of his mistress, the white dunger. Well, she was white. I just love the term dunger. The Holden Commodore has to be one of the coolest sedans of all time and Craig has been spending time putting his dream together. My only question is…why the autobox? It might work for the strip, but it’s hell in the twisties.
Azmi at DesiNotes thinks the Lexus IS 350 is pretty hot. I think he’s right.
Meanwhile, Egon at AutomoBlog thinks that Infiniti may have played it a bit too safe with the G37. Here in The Garage, we just wonder why they had to diddle around with the name.
For a shorter edition of the CoW, this may have taken the longest to write, as it’s been about six sittings throughout the day. I still can’t get enough of this weekly project though, so get your submissions ready for next week. Like always, submissions are due at the end of Saturday.
