This and the same self tinting glasses material on the windows of a car would make life complete.

10.) ...because you need at least 280 deg of visibility for drive-by's.

5th Gear. This may be a blessing in disguise for Parker. His season has been awful due to bad luck, etc. I think that stepping back and looking at the scenario may do him good. His confidence had to be taking a hit and riding in a team that has one foot in and one foot out can't allow for your talent to shine. Go…

Is this real? ...or becoming real? Available in the US? I'm in the market for one and can wait a few months if need to.

I wonder if F1 will pull a Bahrain and forgo the race if events between Russia & Ukraine turn into a skirmish.

I am not sure how I would feel pulling into an event like that if I owned one of those cars. Seems a bit pretentious to me and I would not like the attention because of my car.

Why? Great question, kidnapper. That's the inquisitiveness that makes you so damn good at what you do. The key, of course, is in the trunk — or, specifically, what's not in the trunk: an emergency release handle.

The whole idea of having a nation's food source being used as a fuel source is fucking stupid as hell! Corn is the most resource intensive of all crops to begin with. Requires more water, etc and that is just on the growing side. There is a great article about it in Popular Science.

...and see this huge difference in the hood and fender size? Yours won't look like that.

My mother had one and after just a couple of years, the driver door fell off of its hinges. What a POS. They have never bought another GM product since.

Why didn't this get revealed in NY? I would think that with the political tension between Japan and China that they would see a much bigger/loyal market in the US for a new Honda.

That car would never even make it to 60mph. It looks like it would fall apart at around 50.

Never realized they had a rear view mirror in them.

That may be one of those things that we selectively forgot. Something that was probably easier to do while changing the heater core from the other side of the firewall. :) That was what I remember as being a huge chore.

I don't think that is a problem as they did offer a 302 in some of the IIs. My brother actually had one and we pulled it after he broke the crankshaft and rebuilt it in to a monster.

The Mustang II was trying to fend off Japanese competition from the small, gas-sipping vehicles such as the Datsun B210 that were gaining traction. With fuel prices rising quickly and the stigma of being beasts coming off of the 71-73 Mustang monstrosities, Ford had to do a quick course correction. Also, they didn't…

"Their product is good, I just had a disagreement with them over how serious my particular case was. That has been fixed now and I can move on to a new car."

I think this is a great move to try and incentivise the new generation of potential custom van builders to get back to work. I am not sure that there are nearly as many as there were in the eighties making these things, if any. Just showing off the potential of what can be done and how to do it so they don't take…

The profile looks gorgeous, but then that grille shot...

Did Volvo not have anything new to show or talk about? Other than the leaks in the recent past I am surprised that I haven't seen anything at NYIAS. Did I miss something?
