They have the big ferris wheel and we've been out of town for two months, so he just was like, 'Mommy I want to go to Toys R Us and I don't care if you have a movie coming out and all that.' He was just being a kid. But I had to allow him to have that moment.

You can make the assumption that most human drivers are not out to kill pedestrians. Well, maybe in some parts of Boston they are. But with a person at the wheel who you can see, you behave accordingly. With the robotic car, how do you know what assumption to make?

As I get older, the present and the past shift and become the past and the future... A lot of it is a new awareness of time and life and the wheel of fortune crushing you and lifting you and crushing you and lifting you.

Since the summer, Markko has been happier at the wheel of the 307 WRC and the engineers at Peugeot Sport have a clearer understanding of the sort of set-up that suits him. Everything's moving in the right direction and that's the main thing, both with a view to defending Peugeot's chances in its bid to win the manufacturers' title as well as to maintaining our own, very real chance of finishing in the top-three in the drivers' championship. We haven't given up!

I grew up on a farm so I thought driving a fire truck would be like handling a grain truck. But the first time I was behind the wheel of a fire truck, I was awestruck by the responsibility.

And there are more people under your wing.

I did some pretty bad things as a teenager. When I was 13, I took my friend's mom's car out for a joyride, and I actually managed to hit somebody else's car. No one was hurt, but needless to say, I didn't get behind the wheel again until I had my driver's license.

I am extremely excited to join the Champ Car team as President. I have been amazed at the progress the series has made over the last twelve months and look forward to continuing the momentum and successes long into the future.

People of the ancient might not yet familiar and had no references at all with aircraft technology and propulsion system as we have today.

My opinion is that anyone repeatedly driving DUI has an illness, and that illness is called alcoholism, ... Now, you've got someone with a disease, and you take away their license, and you have someone with an alcohol addiction with no license getting behind the wheel of a car.

I was really impressed with the brakes. They could stop on a dime. The acceleration was incredible. But the biggest surprise to me was how you go out and get such great speed, and as you turn down off the back straightaway, I can't believe how hard the wheel gets going into turn 10. As you arc off into there, the steering wheel's locked up. It's amazing.

We were very close many times. I don't think there were a couple of times that a hair could have even be between the wheel and my wheel. I don't think we ever touched. I tell you, I respect him a lot after this race. Not that I didn't respect him before, but he definitely drove like a champion.

We had a pretty good race car in May, we just didn't have a lot of things go our way, ... We had a wheel come loose and we actually were down a lap. Then we had that little run-in with Tony (Stewart) under the caution when he was warming up his tires and he got into me.

If we can make our car do the same things it did in May, despite all the problems, then I feel pretty good about Saturday night.

We kept our shoulder to the wheel and our eye on the ball. And to the best of our abilities, we kept mostly to our promises, kept mostly to our time lines and almost always to our dollar commitments,

We just worked hard at it, ... They had the car set up on the edge. If something had happened and I had to hit the brakes, I wouldn't have had any.
