Damien Stolarz, grand poobah over at CarbotPC (which, by the way you can buy at Carhacks) just sent me a spanking new M2 CarbotPC. I’m so giddy I may have to get wifey to hit me with the trank dart again.

I’ll be sure to include stats and even, if it gets racy in the garage, a centerfold pictorial. We don’t mess around here, we show ALL the circuits. Wow that got geeky and weird. ok. awkward silence…

The upside to the video is they have pre-programmed locations to every Starbucks into each unit.
Forrester Research has already called the race before one single unit hits the US roads. I love Forrester, they know everything. Ever.
