Weekly Roundup: Let's Pretend You're Literate Edition

Yes, the above window-sticker statement is for real --- it's at the River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, MI. Maybe the illiteracy is part of the art. I'm not sophisticated enough to know. It's down the street from a place where I had one of the worst meals of my life this past Monday night. I'd have rather had one of St. Agatha School's infamous soy-burgers. For the record, the so-called 'filet' at R.P. McMurphy's in Wyandotte is inedible. Putting aside the stupid Tipsy-McStagger-esque aspect of naming a restaurant after a Ken Kesey character, the food was enough to make me pull a Chief Bromden with the dinner table just so I could escape the building without paying.

Alright, give me a minute to calm down about this and we'll cover all the great things that your going to want to read for you're amusement this week.

The Lexus LC500 impressed both me and Bark quite a bit; you can get his take on TTAC and mine at R&T.

Also at R&T, I suggested that the "summer beater" might be a better idea than the "winter beater".

I gave TTAC readers the 30k report on my trustworthy Accord coo-pay and waxed nostalgic about cost-no-object vehicles with wonderful, if insufficiently documented, features.

And, of course, we got Matt Farah and Sam Smith to chime in on the first-ever BarkCast, available for your listening pleasure right here on this site.

Come back next week; I'll be telling the whole story of my California motocross misadventure at R&T and possibly giving a review of the facelifted Ford Focus sedan at TTAC. In the meantime, stay out of Wyandotte, MI; their steaks are well done and their grammar isn't.
