It’s the other side of Iowahawk, as he sets aside the razor-sharp cudgel of his merciless wit and opens up, revealing the gentle, sensitive motorhead within. You sense the tranquility of a search for deeper meaning satisfied by a quest that never ends. It’s Iowahawk waxing metaphysical about cars, car art and the art that is cars.

So when the GM or Chrysler dealership tells you it’s not covered, you don’t have to waste any time being uselessly angry at some faceless corporate behemoth in Detroit anymore. Obama:

GM Ceo Wagoner resigns at Obama’s behest. Politico. Well, as $9.4 billion stakeholders thanks to a Bush admin bailout, with GM hopping to Obama’s tune in hopes of 16.6 billion more, I guess it’s our failing auto company now. I wouldn’t mind seeing a planeload of financial whizkids from Bangalore to light an outsourcing fire under the overpaid, under-performing whiners of [...]

It looked like a Coen Brothers knockoff at first. Fargo. AP: 3 execs, 81 cars missing from a Nebraska car dealership. Some of the cars have turned up at auction, elsewhere. Employees show up to an empty lot. The owner and a couple of execs are wanted on suspicion of theft.
Then I realized it was Steinbeck, updated. Neo-dustbowl, [...]

From the White House, as Obama is set to approve a dumb measure to make cars more expensive to satisfy Left Coast enviro-extremists at the worst possible time for auto industry. Tougher standards aimed at saving the planet as opposed to something useful like just cutting smog, even though, as noted warmalist James “Hot for Gaia” Lovelock pointed [...]

Sarkozy’s been great lately, thumbing his nose at the Iranians, almost like he wants to show certain Euro-centric Americans how cowboy diplomacy is done. It’s back to traditional Euro values now, though, as the Sarkozy government sits on an inconvenient finding that electric cars are a waste of time. Financial Times:

Not as they don’t. Toll-hiking, gas-taxing Massachusetts hacks don’t pay the tolls, taxes, insurance or car payments. They charge it all to their campaigns, then collect the generous state per diems they vote for themselves. Boston Herald, Free Rides For Pols:

Sounds like it could be a heck of an arena event. But it’s also a policy issue for Climate Czar-in-waiting Al Gore to sink his teeth into. “Cadillac One.” Obama’s, now being built … more “monstrous” than Bush’s. Boston Herald:

Hummer Village of Norwood is where you go if you want to buy a Hummer in Massachusetts. We sent Mike Underwood there for a story on gas prices and people who don’t give a damn. They offered him a Hummer for a day. No “hummer” jokes please. I already made them all, until Underwood begged [...]

The Sex Pistols couldn’t have been more wrong. It’s Sharia in the UK, as a Scottish court accepts the demands of two wives and a restaurant as the reason why Mohammed Anwar needed to put everyone else’s life in danger, by doing 64 in a 30 mph zone. Daily Mail.

Stop, click, view now. Laugh riot off-road test loaded with thrills and spills, even more audacious and astonishing than the great EuroRace. Though if that tank commander would pop up on his machine gun, this competition would be over a lot sooner.
