Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

How did I miss this yesterday? 'GM to Bring Back G.T.O'--THANKS TIM BLAIR!
"It will deliver the kind of performance that made the original GTO legendary," GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz told reporters at the New York auto show. The GTO will be based on the Holden Monaro, a 5.7 liter V8 with a six-speed manual transmission made by GM's Australian division Holden, but with a new front end to make it look like a Pontiac. Providing the vehicle passes U.S. safety standards, GM will import up to 20,000 a year, company officials said.

"You gotta wind it up, tach it up, blow it out--GTOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I'm sure Aussie Tim Cobber Mate will verify that the Monaro kicks butt. Bet on a new "Little G.T.O" song to be released, too. Of course,

Three deuces and a four speed, on a three-eight-nine;
Boy she's really so fine


rings a little better than

Eight injectors and a six-speed, on a three-five-oh;
Boy she's really..."


"not slow"?..."no 'ho"?

Drive On.
