Paris.
Paris Hilton. God, why do we even care? Do we love her for the carefully planned carelessness of her publicity stunts, from homemade porno to warmed-over disco—or is it for her human failings? Hilton was pulled over for driving under the influence in Hollywood on Thursday morning after being spotted driving erratically. And of course, saintly sister Nicky came to bail her out. Hilton’s publicist said later that
Paris had only imbibed one margarita after a video shoot and might have been weaving like a Sioux artisan in an unlikely quest for food. “Maybe I was speeding a little bit and I got pulled over. I was just really hungry and I wanted to have an In-N-Out burger,” Hilton told radio station KIIS-FM, subtly bitch-slapping
her former employer, Carl’s Jr. Hilton has yet to be charged for failing sobriety tests—or for that matter, for crimes committed in the recording of her new album.

Look, we know
Detroit isn’t L.A. But is that any excuse to ditch your pants and drive through the local bank window? It is
if you’re Joe Cullen, an assistant coach with the any-news-story-will-do
Detroit Lions. Cullen, a Dearborner, was pulled over on August 24 and was ticketed for suspicion of indecent exposure and obscene conduct. Then last Friday, Cullen got the attention of the cops again, this time for driving with 0.12 percent alcohol levels in his blood. Cullen apologized publicly for the outings and has taken the predictable rehab route instead of totally owning and celebrating his behavior like John Daly would do. Cullen left his last employ at the University of Mississippi for alcohol-related reasons.

We've watched the "mainstream media"—that's not us, folks—go nutso over rising gas prices, but do they ever report falling prices? No, that would be good news.
Anecdote in point: today my wife paid $2.39 in a
Detroit suburb to fill her tank. One month ago, I was paying $3.19 on a trip through Indiana to Kentucky. That's a drop of 80 cents, or 25 percent—a huge amount however you figure it. Yeah, it's not quite apples and oranges because it isn't at the same stations. And of course, not too long ago, a gas gallon price of $2.39 would have caused heart attacks.
But that's beside the point. Gas prices have plummeted, maybe not everywhere, but one has to think this is the end of summer madness. Will it breathe new life into the SUV market? Doubtful, because of the "once burned" theory.
Just thought you'd like to know that you can count on TheCarConnection to bring you the news, good or bad, affecting the automobile.—

Dogs are
smart, no doubt. Now, in addition to playing poker (we have the painting hanging in our office) they’re learning how to drive. Or not learning so much as crashing. The Associated Press reports that a woman in China’s Inner Mongolia province crashed her car while trying to give her dog a driving lesson. The woman, who gave only her family name of Li, told the state news agency Xinhua that her dog liked to paw the wheel and watch her drive, so she thought she’d let it have a try at steering while she worked the gas and brakes. The end result? A two-car pileup and a little more notoriety for a little town called Hohhot.
