12" subs and aluminum mids/tweeters mean it will sound impressive? Um, ok. I'll go buy some at the local big box store for $200. Also, that frequency response sounds great, especially without any +/- db limits.

Numbers don't sound good, music reproduced well does.
I just take a picture of the odometer and the pump with my phone when I fill up. Then I put the data into a spreadsheet. I also track maintenance, and mileage against condition (city/hwy, top up/down).

This is pretty much the only use for a crappy cameraphone I've found.
If you've got $850k to drop on a car from 1938 (meaning it's unlikely to be driven very regularly), it hardly matters if you have to drop another chunk of change to get it going. In fact, you'd probably be thinking that will earn you some cred at the country club.
CORRECTION: no buyers found yet. You might want to head back over to Argentina Auto Blog and read this:

Finally, a Mustang that handles.
Sabine, of Ring Taxi fame, drove a Ford transit van around in just over 10 minutes.
I enjoy the odd moment of British lunacy as much as the next guy, but the 9th season was made up almost entirely of contrived stunts. It's good to hear that was partially a result of limited time, and that Clarkson (that endearing buffoon) doesn't want to see the show lose all its relevance.
Finally, a car that makes the new WRX hatch look good!
Style is important to people when every other car in the category looks much, much better.

The hood scoop looks embarrassed to have been tacked on to such a horrendously generic design.
Contrary to basically every other performance measure, top speed is not directly affected by weight. Top speed is typically reached when the power the engine generates is completely offset by friction (wind resistance, primarily). A stripped-out Veyron wouldn't necessarily go much faster (aside from reduced friction in wheel bearings and maybe less rolling resistance), it would just reach its top speed faster. It would, of course, accelerate, turn, and stop better.

As for this car, who cares? I can think of dozens of cars that would be more fun to drive (same goes for the Bugatti).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
