Lotus did several 4 door cars before, none of them were luxury cars, but I would love a Lotus sports sedan.

Well, poop.

The Cadillac Cimarron, with its amazing lack of quality nearly destroyed the brand.

it could be worse, they could have treated her like Michelle Bachmann on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Why would I brush my hair? Twice a week even?

I was also thinking of taking up pipe smoking, something of deep and rich.

This is how I would like to spend my post retirement as a 3rd career. When I finish what I am doing, I would love to go on to be the old sandel wearing hippy math/physics teacher. Ideally I would also smell funny.

but for the most part people who paint their car like Herbie are harmless. Of course adding the stripes to a WHITE beetle is just wrong.

The other thing about CVTs is that until recently they couldn't handle much power or the were freaking heavy. I suspect that Chrysler still can't make a (decent) CVT and instead is going with a more parts heavy 8 speed auto box.

It is not that there is a shortage of drivers, much like there is not a shortage of engineers, nurses, teachers, etc. there is a shortage of CHEAP DRIVERS. So yes you nailed it with the desire to replace expensive experienced workers with fresh cheap seat warmers. Because to an MBA we are all just interchangeable …

This toy sounds amazing

Sometimes, I feel like the Westboro Baptist church is a false flag operation to increase gay rights and acceptance.

Thermal sheets are nothing new

That works in the water too.

All I know is that I drive past 5 former gas stations to get to the closest one. It seems that when I am on a road trip I need to start looking for a station at 1/4 tank or I am in trouble. I will acknowledge that I live in the southern California distortion field and things here are not representative of the rest…

I am not sure. Most of the gas stations that were around when I was a kid got closed due to the MTBE contamination. The way it runs now I understand the station owners barely make anything, and hold all of the liability when the tank inevitably leak. I have not seen many new gas stations go in years. It would…

I think Hyundai of Kia could pull it off. This would be an awesome launch for a turbo whatever. With lots of reverb on the TURBO!!1!

If you take the lug nut to cherry, you really should really replace them. Taking steel to a high temperature and not cooling just right can give you strange effects to the metals property. Usually it gets more ductile, but sometimes it cracks, sometimes other shit happens. Lug nuts are cheap in comparison to…

Inovation is possible without quality, and I won't consider anything from Korea until the long term quality is there. Alos I was deployed for a year in Korea and it left a bitter taste in my mouth.

When I worked in aviation we had a saying: There is nothing more permanent than a temporary repair. Half assed inovation usually leads to a full blown disaster when the natural limits of the hack are reached. If this is going to be a new business trend it will be amusing to watch the massive disasters this causes.
