Sometimes you’ve got to bite your lip, but I’d love to burst a few boilers today. Unfortunately, I can’t do that without burning a few bridges that must stay intact. But I’ll be watching. —— My adversarial frame of mine is not helped by the Saab 9000 running on only three cylinders that currently occupies [...]

This is some nice initiative by Shaw Saab, a dealer in Norwell, MA. I’m not sure what context they’re planning on using these, if at all, but I like the creativity and forward thinking. Click to enlarge. More of this in their gallery on Facebook. Thanks to David for the tip.
