Dear Dub,
Are you a NASCAR fan and will you be watching the Daytona 500 this weekend? And who do you think is going to win?

I'm just happy that Edmunds.com has provided CarSpace for it's loyal members and that PF Flyer has given me the opportunity to be able to be here on the Alternate Route to field questions like this from consumer driven automotive enthusiasts like yourself who are the smart car buyers who know where to start.
The Daytona 500 on Fox should be a fair and balanced race, especially since the Toyotas, Chevrolets, Fords, and Dodges will be running on Goodyear tires while I lean back in my La-Z-Boy and crack open a Yuengling or two while waiting for the Papa John's delivery boy to pull up to my door in 30 minutes or less with a piping hot pizza so I can enjoy all the hi-def action on my Samsung plasma HDTV in the comfort of my Armstong carpeted living room!

The other day, just as I was finishing my morning grilled sticky bun, up pulls one of them pink Mary Kay cars, and a woman wearing enough perfume to leave a puddle if she stands in one place too long gets out and comes into the shop looking for a set of tires.
“How much would new tires be?”, she asks.
“$125 per tire.”, says I.
She queries,“You have them in stock?”
“Sure do. And we can put them on right now if you like.”
Then she screws up her nose so she looks like one of those little foreign dogs with no face and says, “That’s pretty expensive. I can go down to the Walmart and get the same tire for $99!”
“But do they have them in stock?”, I inquire.
“Well… no.”, she admits.
“Heck ma’am, when I don’t have ‘em, they’re only $80!”

Would you like to have some cheese
with all of that whine?

I've just returned from the Left Coast and a visit to the new Edmunds offices. (Left: a view of the area leading to our conference room) We had a very productive couple of days, got to meet with a lot of terrific people, and learned a lot about where we've been and where we're headed.
Even though Karl Brauer didn't take us out in his GT to show us how to get a speeding ticket, we got to spend some time with him discussing the non-existent merits of the Dodge Caliber that I had as a rental in LA.
The Caliber generated such feeling and emotion in those who had the experience of riding in it with me, that I've decided to make it the subject of my daily automotive haiku...
Caliber, rented
I thought I'd give it a chance
Karl tried to warn me
Stuck with a Caliber? Try a StickMop to clean up the mess
