Wonder what kind of warranty it has?
It's been a big week for Schadenfreude. First the Jayson Blair thing, then a sight one doesn't often see: As I was driving the minivan to the Large National Chain Hardware Store to buy something really mundane, I saw a guy having car trouble. He was outside his disabled vehicle, in the median, muttering at the car like you do when your car gives out on you, especially on a hot day on a really busy road where everybody can see you mutter.

The car was a bright yellow one of these.

It's hard to feel bad for a guy driving a quarter-million worth of Italian zoom-zoom, under any circumstances.
