I think there are some models that come standard, with the gearshift on the steering column, but the model on the show is automatic.

Do you happen to know (I'm too lazy to look for screencaps) if it's Powerglide or Turbo-Hydramatic?

Heh. You know how you can twirl your finger in front of your temple to indicate crazy? We need a similar hand gesture to indicate: "Super obsessive research mode."

It's just that I keep a 1967 owner's manual beside my bed, and keep meaning to look that up...

I... think it moves on a gasket made of cream cheese.

Listen, lady, Bondo is the ne plus ultra of my car knowledge pre-1994!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The good news is that I can go home soon.

The bad news is that I'll have to log in from home after 2:00am to finish up some things.

The good news is that I can take tomorrow off.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The good news is Scola doesn't have to go on a shooting spree tomorrow.
