I’ve never understood houseboats. Bad houses, worse boats. How many seemingly congruous combo "things" have ever been as good as their separate components? TV/VCR’s? No. TV’s can last decades, yet VCRs seldom last 5 years. TV/DVD players? Same problem. SUV’s? If you want a sports car yet need a truck, even a Porsche Cayenne Turbo isn’t as good a sports car or truck as the Porsche Cayman S and Ford F-150 you could buy for the Cayenne’s $115,000+.
Nine out of ten illegal cross-country racers agree…the $400 Valentine 1 Radar/Laser Detector is El Jefe. Numerous excellent GPS units are available from Garmin, Tom Tom and Magellan starting at $200.

This can’t be real. CAN’T be. Does anyone know?

Team Polizei Wallpaper #17 (yes, I know they’ve gone from daily to weekly to nearly bi-weekly!) is Polizei E39 Meets Ronin E34. Haven’t seen John (the best car director of all time) Frankenheimer’s Ronin
