Did the military ever pick it up? I know it was designed FOR the military (as many Howe & Howe products are), but I haven't heard whether it was ever selected for service.

VW's issue isn't being niche-y, it's making vehicles with spotty reliability. My former vehicle (a 2003 VW New Beetle TDI) soured me on VAG vehicles, likely permanently.

VW's problem isn't being niche-y. It's got a bad reliability reputation. And that's coming from someone that won't own another VW just because of that issue. One should NOT have to shell out thousands of dollars to keep a TDI running... that kind of defeats the point of saving through fuel economy, no? Either way,…

Diablo VT?

I wouldn't have thought he'd be allowed to race in Formula 2 with such enormous testicles of steel. Wow.

I wonder if it'll keep its value as well (or better) than most Toyotas: "FS: Toyota Prius Solution, low miles."

So you've finally taken delivery of it? Did the Explorer have any more tantrums beforehand?

Unless the SXL has a manual option, no gracias. Which is really too bad, I think the Optima looks just stunningly good.

The fact that it's working for you is good. The fact that they've rolled out a system that they think a modern smartphone can't handle is very, very, VERY bad.

Refresh your inbox. It should come eventually. I had issues for about an hour earlier, but it seems to have cleared up.

Great questions! I'm glad you didn't pester them with something stupid like the Tau V8 in the Genesis Coupe. That would have been embarrassing.

It sounds (from answers below) that the reason you do what you do is that there's a market for this. So you do higher-end bikes, then? Do you know why someone would steal a seat, or front wheel, or a piece of crap beater?

A Prowler? What's THAT doing there?

HTML strike tags don't work... as I found out... :(

What is your go-to comfort food, and your favourite junk food? And do you have it before or after a stunt?

So, we talking a BMW with Toyota reliability and serviceability? Can I haz clownshoe plz?

Hard enough that at least a couple of us are willing to admit we don't get it.

Like I have time for that! This may be a Gawker Media site, but Gawker it ain't.

WTF is up with the random celebrity pictures that are completely unrelated to the gear they're displayed in?!? Either Mich is screwing with our minds, or it's an encoded message.

Mmm... leaky.
