It’s only a problem when the company is sold and the auditors show up.

... and I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em.

I think Florida is a much greater contributing factor.

You’re right, they’re not cool, they’re Bitchin’

Pure speculation on my part, but I suspect Hyundai was hoping for a TPP (trans-pacific partnership) that would allow them to build this thing in South Korea and import it to the U.S. back in 2016, and avoid the Chicken Tax.

RIP little Mustang in only your sixth year of service.  

...but the Type II VW Microbus used them too, just rotated 90 degrees..

I’d like to congratulate Oshkosh on this achievement. I didn’t think it would be possible, but they’ve proven me wrong. They’ve made a mail truck that’s uglier than what we have now. Stunning. 

I think what we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.

Okay so...

Yes, it did.  But Porsche had the good sense not to call the Cayenne a 911.

It was probably the A3-4-6-8-12-14-something. But be assured...it probably had a 2.0L turbo engine.

Also, the advertising agency (DDB) and the production company, who were actually responsible for this project, could give a…

It’s actually OK for the entire point of a car to be silly and fun. People understood this far better in the 60's and 70's.

I have a Cooper Roadster S, which is basically one of these with the option to substantially improve rearward—and indeed upward—visibility. It’s my daily driver, and I ordered it direct from the factory in the correct colour (British Racing Green with silver striping), the correct transmission (6-speed manual), and…

As an old geezer who was a teenage car nerd in the 80’s, please let me explain the phenomenon of stashing turbo Buicks as future collector cars that was rampant in 1986-1987. In the mid 1980’s, the automotive world was firmly ensconced in that fuzzy, depressing state called the Malaise Era. Cars were slow. Really…

Godspeed to those Land Rover owners two hours from a dealership.
