This Just In: New on the Net

On this day in 1919, Walter Owen Bentley founded a car company in his native England. Cars bearing his name would go on to win four consecutive victories at Lemans, and be featured in countless rap videos. Brilliant governor! Here’s the news:   

  • Looks like the feds are going start funding plug-in hybrids. Ten bucks says a no-bid contract goes to Halliburton: Automotive News
  • Hey ladies! Want to see your name in the record books? Comfortable with the idea of driving a car at 800 MPH? The Steve Fossett World Land Speed Racing Team wants to talk: Top Gear
  • The General is looking to get leaner and meaner. As many as 46,000 employees will be offered buy out packages. Where do I sign up?  Freep
  • The other day, I mentioned how criminals are cloning fleet vehicles to elude police. Well, this dude took it to the next level: he pretended to be an armored guard, and walked with 850,000. Bravo! Washington Post

Hey where did the original guy go, the guy who started this just in. Because your just a mere shell of that dude. He was much funnier, told it how it is, and actually seemed to know what he was talking about. you kinda seem like a sell out. No offense, merely pointing out an observation.
