    i don't know what's worse the fact that the cars aren't moving or that they don't have drivers (maybe they all bailed), though it does prove the UA pretty well

    Actually that little tab has run on the homepage to keep people informed and the tab rotates to other items. The IS/ES had the floormat issue, not UA.
