Perfect punchline.

Interesting and crazy story. Who would have thought leather with be such a killer? As usual, nice job Peter.

It DOES look good. Why? Because they finally got the proportions right. The street car is too tall but this is about right. It makes the nose look much better. Ride height and fender gaps? Take notes and lots of them you production stylists. As for the NASCAR "stock" car, yeah, that's still a joke. The Fusion racecar…

What this really needs is a piano landing on top of it.

I give credit to Ford for thinking more about business and less about trophies with regard to Fusion sales/production. That is what will get them places in the long run and I'm glad to see it.

That looks really cool. I may have to check that out. As much as I hate to admit it Microsoft's intellimouse is about the best there is. 5 buttons and bulletproof.

I really hate when that happens. I've come really close to hitting birds while flying but never actually done so (thankfully) but I've had friends do so. It is ugly and messy. Now I HAVE hit a bird while driving at about 120 mph. This was in my 70 Nova and it hit the grill just inboard of the right headlight. It…

What? no ejection seat? oh, that's right, that is an AWESOME feature.

I agree, they would have paid a production company something like $500,000 to make an ad like that.

That's good...I wonder what an Orlove rents for.

What's the matter? All outa Orlove?

Orlove, you find the coolest things. I like that quite a lot.

This should get a lot more interesting as we get closer to introduction. As usual this is pretty much a tease as it is really had to pick out much from it. I see the pronounced diffuser in the back and I'm not a fan of LED tail lights. From what can be seen I'm willing to believe your renderings from November. I just…

Nice comment, Burt. I never did use an HP. I missed the window in college and used a good Casio scientific calculator. I don't regret it. I can be nerdy but not calculator nerdy.

Well said, sir. I think you nailed it pretty good.

That's a nice restoration and a cool story. I'm not a fan of Japanese cars but quirky little things like the Brat are ok by me. Why don't car companies continue to build quirky cars? Why do they insist on pursuing the high volume, boring segment. Enjoy being a niche company and have some fun with it.

Well that's just too bad. The competition will be diminished without them.

Why root for Toyota when they make stupid, boring, smug cars? At least Audi makes a few exciting performance cars.

I know the reasons for rear facing seats but for someone to say that such a seat saved the child's life in a rear end collision simply defies logic and physics in this situation.
