So we bought a Scion xB (I’m sure I’ll be calling it The Boxcar) today. I think it’ll be ready for us tomorrow. It’s black with an automatic transmission. Gets 31mpg around town and 35mpg on the highway. We just did the base model, but it’s still pretty loaded: A/C, AM/FM/CD [...]

Okay, not very fair and balanced, but funny nonetheless. And for the record, if anyone finds a similar graphic for Kerry, I’d be happy to post that too.
