Now that the Great 1UP Purge drama appears to be dying down... for now... we now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Here's the new Nissan GT-R Spec-V, or as I like to call it, Mecha Godzilla.

That price, though... $165K? I'd rather take a nicely loaded Corvette C6 ZR1 at $120K, and spend the rest on a Mustang Shelby GT500. What say you?

I think the Xbox Avatars are cute, and I have a burgeoning Golden Tee Golf addiction.

Why not combine the two?

MS should get Incredible Technologies to do a Golden Tee XBLA title with Avatar support. It would be the biggest selling XBLA game ever, or at least come close. They should be looking at Hot Shots Golf now and thinking that they should get a piece of that action. And who better to do it than the people that made the biggest bar phenomenon since karaoke night? If nothing else, IT claims $3 billion- with a b- in revenue from Golden Tee games. $ talks, suckers walk.

Seriously, where's my freaking golf game with Avatar support, MS?

I set up my Xbox 360 avatar. Here she is...

The GM LS series of V8 engines are awesome. Besides residing in Camaros and Corvettes, they can fit into Miatas, boats, vintage iron, I saw a magazine article where some guy fit one into a Honda Civic hatchback... and now, here's proof that the Honda S2000 can take one, too.

That's the question being posed by environmentalists: what's the point of muscle cars when we have a planet to save?

My answer is that some people like to actually have some fun while driving, and don't want to be doomed to drive econoboxes the rest of their lives.

Life is more fun with cars that can do this. (ProTip: crank the volume!)
