On the way to work today I spotted what I thought was one of the new 2010 Camaros. It was blue jobbie waiting at a stoplight in the northeast. I ogled it as much as I could without wrecking my car, but really only got a glance.

I’m kinda into cars and always wanted a ’69 Camaro when I was a teen. I also loved the Mustang redesign a few years back.

So I’ve been really keen to check out the new models.

I gave Three Way Chevrolet a call to see if they had actually sold the blue one — and more importantly if they had cars I could ogle in total safety.

Turns out I did not catch a glimpse of a Camaro. Three Way said they only have two of the Camaros (one yellow and one orange) and neither can be driven.

The orange model is just for display, although you can crawl around inside the car all you want, apparently.

The yellow model has already been sold, to local NFL quarterback David Carr. And apparently Dave doesn’t want random folks driving his car. Crazy.

Here’s the good news. If you have $23,000 to $34,000 to spend on a Camaro, Three Way expects to get some models to sell in three weeks or so.

So what did I spot Wednesday morning? Turns out it was a 2009 Challenger. Kind of an embarrassing blunder for a car guy to make. But even the guy at the dealership said its easy to mistake them. (check out the photos I have attached for yourself)

Reporter James Geluso and I ended up in a polite debate today over what is "cooler," Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim or The Muppets.

I contend that Sondheim is cooler. James prefers the Muppets.

Let the voting begin.

I just finished watching race three in the America's Cup on my DVR. For folks unfamiliar the America's Cup competition is an international yacht race that dates back to the 1800s. For the first 132 years the US won the cup (longest winning streak in history) but it has been recently held by the New Zealanders and Swiss (despite Switzerland being landlocked!)

The US got ousted a while back and its down to the Kiwis and the Swiss for our cup. Going into today's race it was knotted up at 1-1. And what a race.

Watching yacht racing has been described as being as much fun as 'watching paint dry.' But today's match was a nail biter. There were two or three lead changes and everytime it looked like one boat had it sewn up the other charged back. In the end it came down to a tight finish.

Some folks are calling it the greatest race in America's Cup history and I'm not sure I'd disagree.

And as a web junkie you have got to love the America's Cup website, very cool.
