[LOWCOP]

gallon, quart whatever. thats 60k for clear coat. probably close to 1/2 the cost of the car

[puttputt]

That is just stupid to spend that kinda money on a car much less $60k for freakin clear. Get a life.:angry:

[TappedOut]

Nice car indeed.

Well when you have the money he has then spending that on a car or the clear is nothing!!

Speaking of Jay Leno (I never watch the guy)...Leno will launch his own nightly talk show in prime time next year in a landmark television deal that keeps him from moving to a rival network after his planned departure as host of "The Tonight Show," NBC said on Tuesday.

The new one-hour show will air at 10 p.m. and become the first program of its type to run five nights a week in U.S. prime time, breaking with the programing model long used by NBC and other commercial broadcast networks for the most lucrative hours of TV advertising.

Another news bit regarding Leno's new show (it's regarding Leno, so thought to post it here)...

Jay Leno says people are going to bed earlier these days. Jay Leno says 10pm is the new 11:30.

Jay Leno is wrong.

Despite the headline, I seriously doubt Jay Leno intended to be deceitful even if it was good PR for being on at 10pm. I’m sure Mr. Leno believes what he said is true. But Leno is wrong when he says that people are going to bed earlier. It is definitely true that more people are watching TV at 10pm than 11:30pm, but that’s nothing new. People actually do go to sleep. But are they going to sleep earlier?

The Nielsen data when it comes to television viewing doesn’t indicate that people are going to bed earlier. In fact, it indicates that people are generally going to bed at the same time they always did, and if anything are staying up a little bit later now!

What the data shows is a decreasing trend of viewership between 10pm-11pm (not great news for Leno’s new timeslot), and increasing viewership between 11:30pm-12:30am. That holds true both as a one year trend and a five year trend.

According to Nielsen data, 6% fewer 18-49 year olds are watching TV between 10pm-11pm than were watching 5 years ago. 4% fewer 18-34 year olds are watching between 10pm-11pm than five years ago. If you want a broader view, looking at 25-54 year olds, viewing between 10pm-11pm is down 7% over the last five years.

Meanwhile, the trend is up for viewing between 11:30pm-12:30am over the last five years among 18-49 year olds (1% increase) and 18-34 year olds (5% increase) and is completely flat among the broader 25-54 demographic.

All data above is based on LIVE viewing only, but since the discussion was about whether people were going to bed earlier, bringing DVR viewing habits into the mix didn’t make much sense.

Based on MY sleep pattern (which is poor), and a number of folks who make the late night posts or early mornin' posts on this board, I'd say he's wrong too :)
