2008 Mitsubishi Outlander
Read Rusty I thought that the Outlander's fold-down bumper was a stupid gimmick ... until I went to Ikea last night to pick up a giant box (what else does Ikea sell besides cinnamon rolls?). The lowered bumper and low load floor made loading the box a snap, and we then locked it back in the up position to help hold the box in place for the open-liftgate, quarter-mile drive home. The paddle shifters have a nice feel to them, too, even if they operate fake ratios in the CVT. Negatives? The seats felt flat to me, and the styling is pretty uninspired, at least when the car is covered in roBlackwell's comments on driving the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander

D Mac's Annual customer appreciation day
For those who have Carrol Shelby signed gloveboxes... eat your heart out! Smokey (my race car hero) was the most clever race car builder, engine designer, and racing ruler bender there ever will be. Just use my blogs' search function and type in Smokey Yunick to read some great stories. Hey, he was so great the Edelbrocks tracked down one of his cars to add to their stable.
