Maybe the scale model will surface somewhere.

These test or pre-production cars are often painted several times before either being destroyed or disassembled and studied for quality control. It's possible this car could be one of the two (I think there was a yellow one and an orange one right?)

Oh, hush, dammit. Let us have our fun.

is there anything wrong with the real estate? you'd think a tiny ass country like japan (with its population density) would be using every square mile it had at its disposal.

"Cock of the Wock" sounds like a typo in on of those "Chef's Special" dishes nobody orders from a Chinese restaurant menu.

I seriously doubt anything can compare to the level of safety in commercial flight (miles traveled would make it a joke, but I would be surprised if even hours of travel/death could be remotely comparable). Planes are so marginally designed, due to the requirements on cost and efficiency, that the level of scrutiny…

I'll take the Pontiac in the back, please.

Tesla Model S

Terrorists love to take credit for stuff. If this had been a terrorist act don't you think they'd have been shouting it from the rooftops in 1996?

Just like Toyota had a run-a-way success with their Hybrid Synergy Drive and started licensing their tech to other automakers. If Tesla perfects this system and continues to create demand for their vehicles, other automakers will come knocking pen in hand ready to sign a licensing deal. There's you're…

We laugh now....but there's lots of people that would read that and go..."yeah, that sounds about right"

That really puts all the work done to the subways in the early 20th century into perspective. Sure it looks crazy today, but imagine making all those subways with equipment from the 1930s. Staten island was still a farm back then, and it was possible to have 15 acre plots off of Soho. And yet there they were using…

Toyota 2000GT

"William-nilliam" It is that sort of stuff that I find entertaining and keeps me reading. The little stuff.

Possible US/ECE harmonization? Or at least US honoring the ECE standards.

The limo prep package air springs have a considerably higher rate, and have extra steel belts inside them. They're readily identifiable by their aluminum "piston," while normal, "soft" springs have a beige plastic piston and the intermediate, "performance" springs (on Touring Town Cars and HPP Vics and Grand Marquis)…

Maybe they should combine old with new? Cause this is classyyy.

This is what they should build instead:

You put a Toyobaru in the middle of the room and have your engineers sit in a circle around it. Then you make your car better.
