...and to be clear (and more on-topic): I'd cut off a finger to put that GT2 in my garage.
This is a pet peeve I normally let go, but since I expect AUTOblog to be actual enthusiasts, I have to post the point.

They are WHEELS, not RIMS. RIMS is a slang term that everyone uses because rappers do. It's about as appropriate as referring to diamond jewelry as 'Ice'.

A rim is a PART of a wheel. That GT2 (in all it's sweetness) has polished rims on a black wheel. Get it?

I hear 'rims' all the time, and I normally let it go, but if you post 'rims' instead of 'wheels' on an auto enthusiast website, you basically flush your credibility down the toilet. Basically, it looks like you don't have a clue about what you're talking about.
Did you just say that 'sportbikes' are less aerodynamic than a Harley?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you had to mean something else.
Agreed. You just can't make this stuff up.
I appreciate that Leno is clearly more of an expert than Seinfeld, but I think if *both* were to work on the show, it could work pretty well. You only really need ONE expert (and Leno is probably more knowledgeable than any of the BBC hosts). Seinfeld adds in some quirkyness but will definitely have a different viewpoint.

I'm not saying they'd be like Hammond and Clarkson, but H+C also have a nice contrast in personality and knowledge.
Agreed. Normally it drives me nuts as soon as any kind of non-conventional picture shows up and people yell, "'SHOPPED!", but it's extremely appropriate here.

Look at the picture showing the open front trunk (bonnet, whatever) with the Carrera GT-esque headlights. Who did that? Some office intern?

Actually, I take it back. In all likelihood the photos are not Photoshopped.

I believe they were 'MS Painted'.
Bringing up that GT40 win and saying "the US took down Ferrari at its own game" is lame.

That makes it what? Italy: 459, US: 1?
That's a sweet iPhone screen protector there.
Count me in.

(ps - it would be cool if there was some sort of iPhone application for entering data that could sync to the site. Then I could enter refueling data while standing at the pump).

Still sounds cool though!
So, what's the big deal about Android here? The app sounds cool, but as far as I'm concerned, couldn't something like that run on pretty much any mobile OS?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
