    The 1939 "Super Mercedes" once occupied by a standing Adolf Hitler will be up for auction in January. http://www.newser.com/story/253418/car-that-carried-a-standing-hitler-to-be-sold.html?utm_source=part&utm_medium=uol&utm_campaign=rss_top

      I like that it was owned by a VFW Post for a while. They probably paid like $400 bucks for it back in 46'

    The 318 was just like the small block chevy engine. They never die because they have a cast iron crankshaft. you can do 200,000 easy with no trouble!

    The Chysler 5th Ave was a great car. I used to have its twin the Dodge Diplomat! Down you have the 5.2L 318 Engine underneath your hood?

    The Dodge or Plymouth Cricket was another example of a car that vanished off the earth! The car was so bad that Dodge/Plymouth had to give extend warranties to gain consumer conference on the car!

    The good old USPS got its three-cent rate hike approved, in a move aimed at stemming the $5 billion that the post office says it lost in the last fiscal year. The change—which brings the cost of a first-class stamp to 49 cents—goes into effect on Jan. 26 for no more than two years, notes the AP, and the Postal Service hopes it will allow it to recoup some $2.8 billion.

      The USPS loses tons of money from internet bill pay, that's where the losses are mainly from. I don't feel bad for them, on the one hand the gov't wants us all to be as green as possible by paying bills online, but then feel bad for USPS gov't workers? Nope, no sympathy at all. They can cope along with the rest of the working class who don't get gov't bailouts

      The real issue with their budget is their pension pre-funding. Losing Saturday delivery would help too--but see if the unions ever go for that!

    The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on the morning of March 8, but lost contact with air traffic control an hour later and disappeared off the radar.........Reminds me of The Twilight Zone episode "The Odyssey of Flight 33"!

      I think this is exactly the kind of thing that Al Alcorn was talking about:

      Torr

      Technically he COULD be right, but not REALLY for the reasons he stated... Wasn't the NES test marketed in just a couple major cities before having a nationwide release? So yes, especially with Cable TV you could have seen ads and gone to a store that had no idea what you were asking for. And MAY have been test marketed only in certain areas because of the previous console crash.

    3. Torr

      Torr

      And after re-reading the article he does specify 1985, during the test market phase, so if you lived in Oklahoma and wanted to buy an NES you would have to contact Nintendo themselves or one of the few out of state retailers who did get the test market units.

      Check out the Kotaku Link and the Letter Scans. It all seems legit, and Nintendo themselves state the scarcity of it's availability, dated April 1986.

    The Nintendo Powerfest 94 SNES cartridge that only two exist in the world went on sell for $12,000. Four years ago, I knew the seller before he sold the cartridge. Unfortunately he wanted $40,000 at the time and I had to pass! Now I heard a Canadian gentleman purchased it!

      Sweet! You can probably score it really easily now... just offer them some Mountain Dew and normal bacon.

    The nor'easter is in full swing. But one thing I hate the most is strong winds/wind gust. I have my car parked in a numbered private lot in my apartment complex. The car is parked next to a tree that's really big and old Everytime we have major storms like this one, I move my car out and park it onto the city streets. Why? Because I fear that it will fall onto my car and destroy it. So far, the tree never fell. But I rather not take the chance.

    1. GoldLeader

      Smart not to take the chance.

      Yes, I hate the wind too. That's all we got here. We didn't get any snow or rain.

      @jd_1138. I thought about that. But It's a royal pain to file a claim and too long to collect for it when they will pay pennies on the dollar. So a few minutes of my time won't do any harm to move the car. Sorry about your wife's friend.

      Since they won't have much that is new during the holidays, you would think they would drag things out a bit longer

      Feel like I just bought my Wii U, can't believe they are pulling the plug already,,,

      I think they ought to keep it going for a little while longer, or at least let people continue developing for it.

    The old skin looks way better. Glad to have it back. I didn't like the facebook skin look. The point of Atariage is to be original! Not a copycat!

    The Playstation Vita is not doing so well in Japan! Its in 4th place behind the 3DS, PS3, and to the PSP according to Yahoo News! OUCH!

      A SONY product doing bad in Japan, that is interesting, I would think that is the one market they were confident about....

    2. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      As stated before, by many people, Sony can't sell what they don't have. Obviously the numbers are gonna be lower, if there is no inventory to sell.

      Give it time. A lot of folks said that the 3DS was washed up, too...

      @ Dreamcast Gamer. I personally buy modern game units refurbished. Let the flaws of the systems be worked out, then I can buy them at a cheaper price, but with the same new warranty.
