I didn't even notice... he is good. So, so good.

I love auto shows. Shh... don't tell anyone, but I'm a car geek. In fact, my Q7 was purchased immediately after seeing it at the Portland Auto Show in 2006 (and months and months of magazine gawking and review-reading). It was embargoed at the time, so they weren't allowed to let anyone in it or even open the doors. I bought it, interior unseen, and took delivery of one of the first 100 in the country a few months later. Best. Car. Decision. Ever. I'm telling you, I'm a geek. Can I come?

I was there for one of the press days and it looks like they have a TON of fun stuff for kids. Slot cars at Ford!

OMG, the "I didn't even notice" line. OH MY GOD, I laughed so hard.

Okay the title of this post and the little TM Fury made are killing me. Hilarious.

And as I said, I wished I loved cars. But I don't. Generally. But I do love my 1974 convertible orange Karmann Ghia. That is one car I do love. Do they old cars at the LA Auto Show? :-)

I so love these stories! Your blog always makes me smile/laugh.

The porn story reminds me of my dad talking about dating my mom and sitting in the living room with her mother and George Carlin just happened to come on TV ... and they were all frozen in fear, until Dad finally had the good sense to offer to change the channel. Ha!

Totally loved the TM in the pic. Way to brand your ideas, Fury!

In the distant past, my bro drove his 67 Chevelle down to our house so he could enjoy dinner with us. After dinner he took the chicklets for a ride. They LOVED it because "he drives fast." The next day I was out driving with the chix and the little Crab-lette said, "Mommy, is that Uncle Tom?" I glanced out the window to see a Chevelle - VERY nicely restored - 2 or 3 years younger than my brother's car - looked NOTHING like my brother's desperately-in-need-of-restoration classic. "Mommy, see dat 'Va-jell', is dat Uncle Tom?"

My kid loves cars. I'll keep her.

I'd love to be in the drawing for tix to the LA auto show! I went to the one in NYC several years ago when I was an east coaster. And btw, I love the TM on the movie poster, too cute!

How sad is it that the vehicle I was most interested in was the redesigned Toyota Sienna? Although that new VW Up Lite diesel hybrid thing looks pretty sweet.

Your kid is a genius. I love the legal understanding he has at such an early age ;)

And the car show sounds like SO MUCH FUN. I'd love to see what Volvo is coming out with next (I drive one too!) And umm, all those cars under one roof? Grrrrrr, yum. Too bad I'm stuck in boring Indiana!

The Thanksgiving Skinemax story? Priceless.

You might want to suggest he promote Captain Underpantey to Admiral status, just to have a good legal buffer zone there.

Oh, and you really should include cheese and tater tots if you're going to make a leftover blog snippet casserole. Trust me on this.

I can't use the tickets in FLA but my car nut kid would love the shirts and bag, so count us in! You can just send us the swag and give the tix to someone else :>

Heh, fantastic.

Also, I think being able to identify cars and hubcaps is a honorable skill.
