I HOPE THIS IS PERFECTED BY THE TIME I’M TOO OLD TO DRIVE: Hands-Off Review: Ford BlueCruise 1.5 Is an Even Better Hands-Free Driving System.

DIDDY FOUND GUILTY ON TWO PROSTITUTION CHARGES, NOT GUILTY ON EVERYTHING ELSE. I haven’t been following the case, but the press made it sound like a slam dunk. Maybe the evidence wasn’t really there? I dunno.
