They do these things as if they're exactly what everybody wanted from that car.

Seriously.

.$05 should be $0.05 or $.05

I think the OD switch would be perfect, to be honest.

But then you run into the spring problem and you get lost in the gears. My design has the neutral center position (3/4), a left sprung position (1/2), and a right position (5/6). Reverse is further over but that has a lockout. If there are 4 gears in a row, you'd have to be very skilled to find each one. Where would…

The snail art car, which also shoots fire, is not to be forgotten:

This is the coolest car. Ever. I've fallen in love once again.

Hey Bill, will you be in Monterey for the Historics ("Reunion") weekend, the time of Pebble and all that? A few years ago Chapparal was the featured marque and they lapped Laguna Seca - that was a hell of a sight.

I don't want to drive a dogleg transmission - that's why I chose a different design.

No I didn't, check urban dictionary too.

I'm not sure how this would work mechanically, but this is probably where I'd want it to be. Push-button overdrive could work well too.

My golf is horrible on the freeway for the same reason - my rev ranges are pretty close to yours. Just thought I'd mention - as far as I know, a "granny gear" is a very low gear, not a high one.

Nowhere is there a link or even a mention of the five saddles. Excellent title choice.

So so so so so cool.

That's Volkswagen, not Volkswagon.

The truck is a Freightliner, not a Frieghtliner.

Hybrid as in . . . inline 6 in front and turbo 4 in the trunk?

Excellent video, thanks for posting this. Inspiring stuff.

I'll just leave this here. (I didn't see it in any other comments.)

Bigfoot was driving and the tires were filled with helium so the car was lighter.
