With Danica Patrick openly exploring a move to NASCAR, fellow IRL driver Ed Carpenter thinks success lies ahead for the young female star — depending on her lunarity. Carpenter, four places behind Patrick in the IndyCar points race, said in a radio interview that Patrick could be a good NASCAR racer. “I mean, you know especially if you catch her at the right time of the month, she might be trading plenty of paint out there,” Carpenter said moments before tasting his own toenails. Have some sympathy on him, feminists: The poor bastard will probably be known forever now on ESPN as Ed Carpenter, Period. For the record, Patrick herself laughed it off in a class act, simultaneously proving she’s ready for NASCAR’s media machine.

Jokes at MG’s Expense!

The announcement by Nanjing Automotive Group that it will build MG-branded cars in Oklahoma, as well as in China and the infamous Rover assembly plant in Longbridge, U.K., sent me to the Internet. MG is one of those brands, like Yugo and MG’s sister brand Rover, that has inspired jokes over the years. Here are a few:

A blonde pushes her MG into a gas station and tells the mechanic, “It just quit on me!” He tells her to pop the hood.
The blond asks, “What’s the story?”
“Just crap in the carburetor,” he replies.
“How often do I have to do that?” she asks.

What do you call the shock absorbers inside an MG?
Passengers.

Two guys in an MG were arrested last night in London following a push-by shooting incident.

The new MG has an airbag. When you sense an impending accident, start pumping real fast.

A friend went to a dealer the other day and said, "I'd like a petrol cap for my MG." The dealer replied, "Okay. Sounds like a fair trade."

How can you get an MG to do 60 miles an hour?
Push it over a cliff.

Maybe your own gaydar tells you that more same-sexers love the Mazda Miata, the Jeep Wrangler or Subaru’s Forester. But now, our colleagues over at Gaywheels.com say they have the definitive list of wheels that appeal to gay shoppers. Scanning their site for the ten most researched vehicles, Gaywheels says the top vehicles include the following:

1 Saturn Sky
2 Toyota Yaris
3 Dodge Caliber
4 Volkswagen Jetta
5 Toyota Camry
6 Audi A3
7 Toyota Prius
8 Saab 9-3 (sedan and convertible)
9 Pontiac G6 (sedan, coupe and convertible)
10 Mazda MX-5

Site founder Joe LaMuraglia says the cars in the top ten all come from gay-friendly manufacturers, a designation the site makes based upon the company’s stand on partner benefits and other issues affecting the gay, lesbian, bi and transgender community.

We ask Rolls-Royce, how much more black could it be? And the answer was, of course, "None. None more black."

Money has its privileges: if you're a Foo Fighter/Nirvanan, you can practically vandalize a Rolls back seat and suddenly, it's art.

So Kirk Kerkorian wants GM to fold into Renault/Nissan. Rick Wagoner wants to keep his job. History would seem to call this one a draw, but we'll be keeping close watch.

Dodge says the Challenger's a go - and it's likely to beat the Camaro to market. But will it do anything to dislodge the Mustang from the sales charts?

So Dieter Zetsche is warming up the airwaves as "Dr. Z." Prince fans, warning: he' s not a current or former member of the Revolution. That was Bobby Z.

Hey gang! There's a new Lotus Esprit on the way! Here's hoping our American backsides fit in this one, unlike the Elise.

Finally this week, we're a little disturbed to read that VW has developed a Golf that drives itself - almost as much as finding out that it's being named for Herbie the Love Bug.
