Eat my shorts (literally)

McLaren dealership mega-gallery

I visited the McLaren dealership in Palo Alto today.  It was pretty neat.  Surprisingly, only one of the vehicles in the showroom is for sale.  The white one, which is used, can be purchased.  Everything else is off limits.  A thorough write-up will be posted on Hooniverse.  The original F1, as you can see, is gorgeous.

Carspotting: VW Phaeton 4-seater

This was spotted today off of Market Street in San Francisco.  In five months of Phaeton ownership, this is the fourth Phaeton I've seen.

Cars & Coffee (and chowder) this weekend

Cannot wait!

Also, I've decided to take scenic Highway 101 (think Pacific Coast Highway lite) back home after the show.  Why?  1) More time in the Popemobile.  2) Clam chowder at Pismo Beach.

Unfortunately, when NATO finally pulls out of Afghanistan, these asshats will be back in charge.

Taco Bell Doritos taco review

One word: Underwhelming.  The "flavors" of the seasoned "beef" and "sour cream" are so overwhelming, the Doritos shell tastes bland, like a normal "corn" shell.  And to make it worse, your fingers are stained with orange "nacho cheese" dust after finishing the "taco".

7 shot and killed in Oakland today

Barely a week ago, I wrote about gun violence in America.  Today's shooting took place just ten minutes away from where my friend was killed.
