The New Winner of The Butt-Ugliest Car award

Click on the link below to see the pictures of the 2006 Subaru Crossover. This car is scary ugly. Yo mama so ugly that if she were a car she'd be a Subaru Crossover. You look in the dictionary for the word ugly, you see this car. That's how ugly this thing is.

I can just see the Pontiac Aztek (anthropomorphized) saying "Mirror Mirror on the wall, Who's the ugliest car of all?"

"Not you, my queen. There is one in the land who is far more ugly than you."

According to thecarconnection, GM might put out a version of this car for itself. The AztekII anyone?

According to the article, this design resulted in "positive feedback" in consumer clinics. "Positive feedback?" Is that the same as throwing up?

Revenge of the Neons

You know how Pokemon evolve into even more powerful Pokemon with different names? I suppose you can say that the same thing has happened with the Dodge Neon evolving into the SRT-4. How about 5.3 seconds from 0-60? I don't know whether our discount applies or not. I heard there's a waiting list. Though there are $3000 rebates on lesser Neons, none apply to the SRT-4.

If I get a chance to drive one of these puppies, I'll report it in the blog.

Oops! Correction

It's not a Microsoft site - it's the government antitrust site. I always thought that the government's pursuit of Microsoft was half-assed. If they really were bothered by the Microsoft monopoly, wouldn't they have been more aggressive about buying non-microsoft products? I bet all those briefs against Microsoft were written using Microsoft Word on Windows computers.

Whatever you do, don't complain about Microsoft's Anti-competitive practices using Netscape

The Microsoft website doesn't allow the use of the Netscape browser (or others for that matter).

FYI - I've been using Mozilla at home, and I'm really pleased with it. My previous experiences with Netscape were less than satisfying.

Finally, like a new Googleteer(tm) search

The Googleteer comes out of hibrernation for this search

Road Trip Suggestion - Rube Goldberg Competitions
Chicago April 17
West Lafayette Indiana April 3



If you are in the midwest and are looking for an April road trip. You can do a lot worse than checking out the Rube Goldberg Machine competitions that are being held in Chicago and in West Lafayette Indiana (Purdue University).

The Chicago competition is for the high school competitors.
And the Purdue competition is for the college competitors.

My family went to the Purdue competition a few years ago, and it was a lot of fun. I think they had about 100 steps to fry an egg or something like that.
