The article mis-speaks a little bit from my understanding. AEV's manufacturing engineering are based in Detroit, while concept and R&D are out of Missoula, MT.

Correct, or washing dishes, cleaning your hands, etc etc.

From the article - "Let's talk a little bit about AEV's history, first. Its founder, Dave Harriton, was a student at the University of Montana and Wrangler owner. He stretched the wheelbase of his own Wrangler, which turned some heads around town. People asked him to convert other cars. Harriton, in need of an…

Optional pump for easy access to water. Pretty cool feature for longer trips off road.

Not the bestest but: "img.gawkerassets.com/img/193ilev4kysckjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg" and remove the jalopnik.com/ part

I would agree with with the weight argument and add 20 years of engineering.

I got excited at first glance because I though the car had an adjustable wheelbase. Then I realized the tracks are for sliding doors and my heart booed.

0-60 mph: it won't reach 60 mph

Think Q5 with a PDK. Cayenne's are Touregs with a PDK

I loved it as a kid, but the Splash and the Indigo were my two favorites... though they were years apart.

Front view of his most recent heritage GT (same car as the image in the post). One of the best looking GT's I have seen.

Whenever I hear Cabrera, I think of this... I know it is a Cerbera, but that is close enough for my mind.

The VW/Audi switchblades used to be my favorites. Of the gimmiky ones the Aston Martin crystal key of emotions fob is my favorite, there is no need for my key to resemble my cars.

Infiniti will have the Q30, which is a little hatchback thing with a lot of swoops and lines and shizzle. Think of the Q30 as smaller than the Q50 and the non-existent Q40. It would also be larger than the Q20, Q10, and the inevitable Q00.

I could not agree more. We just went for a day while on a road trip and my god was I able to strike a ton of cars off of my list. I wish I could have stayed for another day or four, just driving up and down the side roads of Carmel and some areas of Monterey made me feel like a kid again.

I had the luck of seeing a McLaren F1 at their dealership off of Hyde Park in London as a kid, but have never seen one on the road or been able to at least walk around one.

There was one parked on a side street in Carmel during the Tour d'Elegance. It totally distracted and topped my first seeing of a MP4-12C on the street that was parked in front of the Tucker, only had seen a MP4-12C at a dealer prior to that minute.

Apparently someone is not keeping up on their DRIVE's. Rules govern the wheelbase and most other dimensions of the class, so the bodies are all custom, but in general try to use a panel or two from the production version.

From the University or even congress it is 20 plus minutes , unless you are good with the lights and traffic is moving - so I rounded up to 30 minutes.
