Yes. Frasier and Evangelion both came up with the name "Lillith". There was no prior use of that name anywhere.
Also, Cartman = correct. Do you shit money, or something?

Simple. Use up the retirement funds and pensions today (GeForce 6800 Ultra mm-mm) and book a japanese livingroom suicide ring for your 40th birthday. Neat and tidy.

(The powering of robotic death-machines via some sort of whacked out harvested soul scheme - "I can fight evil because my brave craft is powered by my dead mother!" - is, however, unique to a certain Japanese entertainment, in my experience.)
I might as well include this picture of my elfin companion's cyberglidecycle, useful for beating rush hour traffic to home or skyhook; for those of you who do not spend your evenings seeking out, well, this sort of thing:

And yes I sold the M5... why shouldn't I if I live in Los Angeles where I can't enjoy it while in traffic and deal with premium unleaded fuel costs with crappy gas milage. It's a luxury car that's not designed for students constantly driving around the LA County area.

An M5 is not designed with a STUDENT in mind AT ALL!
Unless it's a student with filthy rich parents who spoil their brat to everything...
Also I don't shit money either. I have saved money for years through a lot of hard work to earn my current car. That's why I decided to finally treat myself to a vehicle with almost every extra included. As well as to my favorite engine - powerful yet still very fuel-efficient, which is extremely important when you live in Germany!

Aren't unleaded fuels generally cheaper than leaded? Can you even buy leaded cars anymore? Or is this diesel or some crazy US form of petrol that I haven't heard of?

No, you can't buy leaded gas anymore, and they don't make cars that use it either. I believe he's referring to the octane of the gas, typically 87 (regular), 89 (mid-grade) or 93 (premium) octane. Don't know why he's going for premium, though, since most cars are designed to work best with regular 87 octane gas, and you could damage your emissions system with too high an octane.

@PsyLiam: Actually "Vorsprung durch Technik", which is the Audi tagline. It means something like "Advantage through technology". BMW uses the tagline "Freude am Fahren" which basically means "Joy of driving" or better (yet less exact) "Fun to drive". I'll go with that...

Depends on the car. The Lancer Evolution for example requires premium.

Yes, in that there's just 4-star (leaded, quite hard to find nowadays), Diesel, and unleaded. A (very) few stations do a fancy ultra-wow unleaded, but no-one uses it. Well, possibly people who drive BMWs do, but I apparently don't have stinking rich friends who can afford top-drawer cars before they even have jobs.
