While I don't want to minimize the seriousness of this issue, I do want to mention that "functionally obsolete" and "structurally deficient" bridge definitions don't meant that the bridge is in imminent danger of collapse.

"Functionally obsolete" means that the bridge no longer meets the criteria for the current use of the road.

"Structurally deficient" means that the bridge is in need of maintenance or upgrade.

In both cases the bridges are safe and considered safe to be used.

Here are two good links to read about this:

Umm...the Opel GT is based on GM's Kappa Architecture. Were you thinking of the Opel Speedster?

Alas, enthusasts loooooove sport wagons, but they always sell poorly here, hence Honda's misguided attempt at the Crosstour. It would have been great if they pulled an "Outback" offerring both a wagon and SUV-lite version of said wagon. The accord tourer is definitely the most attractive accord you can buy on either side of the pond.

What ThomD said! It would -fantastic- if you guys could review this from the point of view of an alarm clock. I have a 15 year old Sony clock radio dying to be replaced with something like this, but the alarm and sleep functions need to be straightforward.

Here is a question: if Apple came out with a camera and then locked out iPhoto to only that camera, would people feel that they would be justified in doing so? It's the exact thing that happened with iTunes.

for $189, i'd totally take it for a day trip. If i'm not mistaken, the Nurburgring is in fact a public road. So long as you weren't timing yourself and just enthusiastically driving, you would actually be ok!

Oh poor, poor honda. Those first spyshots were wonderful. A 4WD Accord wagon? Sign me up! But THIS. What is it? Who is the demographic absurdityfor whom this is the perfect car?? A 30 year old accordion player who likes to drive up gravel driveways? WHO IS IT?

SWEET. I do wish however, that they would have a small screengrab application in utilities! The keyboard commands are great, don't get me wrong, but shouldn't be the ONLY way to access the functionality!

I can attest to Mr. Glickenhaus' driving his cars around. I was once driving down the cross county expressway in Westchester county in NY, and saw his P4/5 cruising along in the opposite direction! Man, that was a sight.

Meuh!!
