Monsanto: The evil corporation in your refrigerator {WalletPop}
Feb 5th 2010 12:19AM Monsanto is f*cking evil, and I agree everyone needs to know about them. Pelase do me a favor and at least nofollow the link to their website. It's unbelievable that these companies are allowed to get away with what they do.
Review: 2009 Nissan 370Z {Autoblog}
May 26th 2009 7:08PM Ha, I think we got the same test car; mine is identical to the one is the pictures. It was dropped off today, and after a short drive, I'm more impressed than I thought. You're right about the shaky stick though, it's a bit strange.
We reviewed a G37 Coupe a couple weeks back too, and the difference between the G and Z 37s is far more extreme than that of the 35s. Here's the review of the G37 Coupe:

Can't wait to take the Z out for a few hundred miles this week, I'm hoping to get used to some of its quirks.

May 20th 2009 10:46AM Not sure how I feel about the F430 tail lights, Viper paint, and Elise front bumper, but I have to admit I'm shocked at how this came out.

We thought it was a great deal compared to competition, and want to do it again soon.

May 18th 2009 9:04AM The tour we went on was a blast (it was the one where the GTR got wrecked,) and a bargain at $300. The annual pass is a great deal, and at $1500 I highly recommend it.
Bar opens bogus 'smoking research' area to bypass cigarette ban {WalletPop}
May 16th 2009 3:12PM That's excellent, now other states that ban smoking in public should find loopholes like this.
BTW, I live in NC and it's not restaurants that have to do the member thing, it's all bars that *don't* also serve food.

May 16th 2009 2:59PM OK, you're a bit off here, and here's why:
The most expensive Genesis Coupe you can buy is $31K. That's a 3.8-liter Track model with 6-speed ZF trans and paddle shifting. The comparable (according to price) Camaro to that is either a optioned 2LT with V6, or a 1SS with the V8, which is slightly over $31K.
For that price, the Genesis Coupe has the 6-speed auto and the Camaro doesn't - it would cost more. I would prefer the 6-speed manual anyway, which would drop the Genesis price to $29,500 (the Camaro is still at $31K.)
The Genesis has HID headlights, the Camaro it will cost more.
The Genesis has a sunroof, the Camaro it will cost more.
The Genesis has a premium sound system, the Camaro it will cost more.
The Genesis has Bluetooth connectivity, the Camaro it will cost more.
The Genesis has a limited-slip diff, the Camaro does not.
The Genesis has leather seats, and you can't get leather on the 1SS.
The Genesis has heated front seats, and you can't get that on the 1SS.
The Genesis has an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, the Camaro it will cost more.
The Genesis has electronic brake distribution, the Camaro does not.
The Genesis is about 500 lbs lighter than the V8 models, 350 lbs lighter than the V6.
And...the Genesis has a significantly better warranty.
There is plenty more, but this comment is already long enough.
Even with the V8, I guarantee the Genesis out-handles the Camaro by a long shot.
So, it's not exactly fair to compare those two, since the Genesis comes standard with MUCH more equipment than the Camaro. A fairer comparison is the 2LT model because to get the same equipment as the base Genesis 3.8 Track, you'd have to spend thousands in options and packages.

May 15th 2009 2:49PM A troll? What does that even mean?
Anyway, we're not comparing a V6 Genesis to a V8 Camaro, we're talking about the V6 Camaro.
3.8-liter 306hp V6 in the Hyundai, 3.6-liter 304hp V6 in the Camaro
The Camaro is impressive, I never said it wasn't. It's a very good move for Chevy, I just think it's a bit too heavy, which is a common problem in domestic cars.
You guys don't have to get all worked up, it's just a blog comment.
