Ford recalls Mustang just to mess with Leo Laporte.

Ripped from the “headline:”

Ford Recalls 2010 Mustang For Being Too Cool

FEBRUARY 16, 2010 | ISSUE 46•07

DETROIT—-Ford officials issued a massive recall of the entire 2010 Mustang line Tuesday, apologizing for a quality-control oversight that led to the company manufacturing a badass muscle car that was way too awesome for the American public.

…….

According to Mulally, Ford has canceled production on the 2011 Mustang, and will instead release a line of fuel-efficient vehicles in an effort to appeal to boring old Americans.

I bet Ford found out that the Mustang is way too cool for Leo Laporte. Sorry Leo, the Mustang is way out of your league.

David Ellefson Returns To Megadeth Line-Up.

It’s a surprise and somewhat predictable. David Ellefson rejoins Dave Mustaine and Megadeth per the announcement on Monday February 8th, 2010. Megadeth is set to embark on “Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour” starting March 2010 and at this point in time are busy rehearsing every single song from the seminal record.

The return of Ellefson into Megadeth ranks means a departure for James LoMenzo who recorded “United Abominations” and “Endgame” in 2007 and 2009 respectively. So far there has been no explanation what really happened within Megadeth with regards to LoMenzo.
