That's the big joke at the Lotus club meets. Quite often things are a bit off. One of my tail lights was installed upside down. Gotta love a hand built car.

At least it is a good song. Yesterday driving home there was some crappy new song on the radio. Can't get the beat out of my head.

Did Phil Collins release new material?

One of the many reasons I stopped listening to radio.

Also the newer Subaru headunits do this annoying thing that when you turn the car off, it turns the radio on. I have no idea why. Tuning to the information screen for sat radio makes it so I'm not bombarded with used car radio ads every time I turn off the WRX.

I remember when A Horse with No Name came out. I was at the record store with a friend and his dad, buying the 45. My friends dad says, you know that song is about heroin, right? Like I even knew what heroin was, I was 8!

Looks like Jalopnik finally caught up to the whole recall nonsense. On the plus side, we get this image out of it. Torch is a treasure.

You mean, someone isn't happy with the answer they're being given, so they're trying to blow the story up? I have no idea if the complaint is legitimate, mind you... not sure there's much way to know if the recall work was a cause, or it is purely coincidental timing.

If it were one or two people, I would agree with that point. However;

Please note that I'm not claiming a systemic issue with the recall itself (bad parts), nor is the article I suspect. However, there are enough reports that I'd be interested to analyze the data to see if there is any truth in the speculation.
