Scott, I am so sorry for your loss of Katie. She was such a sweetheart and the time I got to spend with her was enjoyable. May she find an everlasting glass of cold water with condensation. Please share my condolences with Kelly as well.

Scott's Car is Dead; Long Live Scott's Car

Is it a reflection of our road-rage culture that a company named Dodge manufactures cars with violent names like Ram, Magnum, Caliber, and Viper? I pondered this at the dealership yesterday during the eternal wait between brief flurries of document-signing so I could buy my first car. It took some doing to get the sunroof and other features I wanted, but I'm now the happy (and relieved) owner of a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT. Go »

The Importance of Being Richard
