Got any data to back this up? Since you were wrong on the lighting strike capital, I'm worried this reasoning might make you a future candidate for a Darwin award :D

I just found a great Top Gear segment where they zapped a VW Golf with lightning while Hammond was in it. Good stuff:

Wow and that car led to his other major discovery in 1899 - that hybrid drivers never get laid. Thus leading Ferdinand Porsche to design sports cars. Who knew?

Well I think I'll stick to the Duplicolor kit. I hear G2 is better, but ddb's pics show that Duplicolor looks just as good. I'll post pics when I'm done.

Nick, I don't know the tax laws in Chicago, but I think you're missing the sales tax in your calculations. In most states you pay tax on the part of the car you lease. So in addition to the $4909 due...

You'll probably get the better deal with the S they already have on the lot. However, there are some tweaks coming to the 2009 model, some styling changes and DFI. If those are more important to you...
