Guys come on. Read the quote again - no FWD or AWD car will use a V8. The 166 is based on the updated 300C, and thus will be RWD. My money is still on the V8 happening.

I have no idea where the comparisons to a Buick GNX came from, but if I were going to spend $100k on a sports car, I'd pick up a Corvette ZR1.

Previously stated Tesla Performance:
0-60: 3.9 sec.
1/4 mile: 12.7 sec.

Corvette ZR-1
0-60: 3.4 sec.
1/4 mile: 11.3 sec.

And it doesn't need a speaker system to make "real V8 engine sounds".

Awesome South Park reference. You sir, have just won the internets. Please schedule a time to pick up the all of the tubes at your convenience....

Excellent catch....VIOLET Hill it is indeed.

I'm pretty sure that IS MS Paint.

pwfletcher is a shining example of why one should have to take and pass a competency test before purchasing a PC.

I'm sure he (she?) regularly attempts to save the entire internet (its easy, just press Alt+F4) to his HDD before turning off his PC so as not to lose his witty comments.

Dave FTL....

At first glance I truly thought that was a case made to look like an AT-ST from Star Wars. That would have been awesome.

This, though...I poop on this.

Just because you're cool enough to wear Sony bookshelf speakers on your head doesn't mean you get to start referring to yourself using the "Royal We". :)

Yep.

Apple announces a 3G iPhone for ATT and simultaneously announces that because Steve Jobs sees this improved iPhone as an excellent value for customers and he wants all current iPhone owners to have the new version, all current iPhones on ATT will be deactivated, effective immediately. Current owners will then be lucky enough to have the opportunity to upgrade to the new iPhone for a nominal one-time fee of....$399 (trade-in of old, non-functional iPhone required).

All Apple fanbois will rejoice* and happily whip out their credit cards, whilst Apple will post another quarter of record profits as a result of the move.



* Fanboi rejoicing may include, but is not limited to, feverishly posting to non-Flash-based websites about the news from their new 3G iPhone, while continuing to espouse the myriad benefits of not having their browsing experience bogged down with Flash. As a tangent, Steve Jobs will announce that Flash will henceforth be known as the "Red Light District" of mobile web browsing. Iphone owners will again rejoice, as they now have proof from Jobs himself that "the dirty Flash" is not in their best interests to have.
